Yesterday + today we had the first real winter storm here in Toronto and the roads were slick with ice and snow.
The D with the Hankook winter tires handled herself very well and got me through a couple of hours of driving through the storm.
Several times the ESC kicks in but the traction remain straight and true with no fish tailing even going up/down hilly terrain when I made a detour to try avoid the heavy traffic.
I am pleased with the Hankook W409 and the $2,500+ savings over the BMW winter wheels.
I guess the only concern is ground clearance and I make sure I have a shovel in the trunk just in case!
