Opinion from outside the UK
The Hankook Icebear W 442 that I assess are new tyres which have not done 600 miles yet, fitted to a Passat B5 4Motion. Pros: the tyres are cheap, quiet, easy to balance. Cons: the tyres have huge rolling resistance, fuel consumption has increased by 1.5 l/100 km. Read more Collapse

Hankook Icebear W 442 is a very quiet tyre, I was stunned, because previously I only used premium tyres. I've read about DTM races and Hankook tyres, and I decided to test them on my Volvo - and I'm impressed! Read more Collapse
