"From the look of the tread pattern, I would figure that that tire gets pretty decent wet-pavement traction as well."

...about as good as competing snow tires but not quite as good as some rain tires. They're okay. ...same in snow as moderate off-road tires with a mid-sized four-wheel-drive (very good with the same tires on all fours). The Hankooks do better on well-frozen ice than anything else I've driven. Nothing goes well on snotty, barely frozen ice of the east, but it's almost always frozen pretty hard here.

I drive Goodyears (MT/Rs) when driving a lot (when building) and cheap tires when driving less (doing remote work from home). Over-sized MT/Rs with chains and differentials locked will push through very deep snows (3-4 feet...only fresh snows, as very old, icy deep stuff can blow differentials).

Interesting.

The Hankooks on my wife’s (dreaded) SUV work very well on mudddy and icey Ozarks roads and construction sites where she goes to do her work. She’s even scared a few 4-wheelers by going up hills they were afraid to go down.
