Hankook winter tires work very well here
What kind are they?
Those are the cheap ones. There are more expensive, better wearing Hankook (means “Korea” as in South Korea) tire models, though. IIRC, the ROK holds its companies to a certain level of quality control before allowing exports (see the name). Hankook’s getting pretty heavily into racing, too (even drift racing now).
Like I said in another comment, though, I use Goodyears when driving more. Well...hopefully, the MT/Rs are American. Quite a few tires sold by Goodyear (at least under other names) aren’t and come from some of those terrible places.
