Thinking about getting a set of these for the price. I never heard of Hankook before, might be my own stupidity but are they reputable tires?

i had some hankook winter tires before, just not the ice bear model. i thought they were great in the snow, untill i ran over something and one went flat.

Hankook is a good tire brand. I've heard great things about the Ice Bear tires. They are actually on my list of consideration for tire this winter.

I was originally thinking Michellin X-Ice since my buddy had some on his car and was really good, or I was recommended BF Goodrich Ultra Grip's or Dunlop DS2's, but these Hankooks are almost half the price as a set of those.

I bought a set of them this past winter and they worked great. Tons of traction. There were times where I tried to spin out on lightly snowed on roads and I couldn't. I'd give them a A.
