With a quiet ride with Hankook, you can forget about spending on winter tires for a long time. I have been riding Hankook Velcro for about 7 years, first 605, then 606 model, now 616. I am pleased with the wear resistance and lack of noise: in terms of noise, winter ones are more comfortable for me compared to summer ones, Hankook 425. I drive highway / city in 60/40 mode, I don’t start abruptly from a traffic light, because diesel, so I don’t evaluate it by this criterion, but I had to slow down to 0, I never failed. At speeds up to 120, driving a light car (Fiat grande punto) is quite comfortable and stable. Other reviews described not very pleasant behavior on ice, but in loose snow, I always climb porridge without fear. Soft sidewall, after falling into the pit, a hernia crawled out, so I don’t get along on the curbs.
