Hankook Optimo H727.

I hate them as far as the rain and getting traction. They do fine once you're moving, but from a stop or in a sharp curve they like to skid.

I miss my Potenzas
 
if they suck in the rain, well snow aint gonna be fun at all.

maybe find some used snow tires, a pair for the front will get you around just fine. it really comes down to if the threads clear or not, if they pack up you go nowhere fast.
 


but yeah idk.. i'll let Bill look into them. Like I said they track just fine they just don't GRIP that well. the potenzas made the asphalt its little b*tch
 
your tires rated a 7.1 for snow. but being FWD lol yeah i bet you still fight for traction.

coming from a 4x4 truck to the regal, i feel it truly sucks in the snow.
 


its not till jan, feb you need to worry really. at least thats the way its here. we used to have lots of snow in dec but not so much any more, nothing that adds up any way.
 
I looked them up. Drive slow in snow. They aren't as aggressive as I'd want for my own car in winter.

See how the outer edge is basically sealed. And the grooves are just straight through the tire. That IMO isn't likely to shed snow and make room to squeeze it out well. I'd prefer to see some more edges and grooves going sideways like this Hankook

Here's an actual snow tire.. you can see the sideways grooves are much more pronounced

Something that could help you greatly is siping. See if any local places will cut the siping into the tires. Those are little cross cuts that you can pretty much see in that last tire. Helps big time in winter and is usually cheap to have done.
 
Winter tires .... Pfft.. I have never looked at those ratings... Good tread = good winter tires... **** I have gone all winter with cords showing..
