FWIW Hankook Icebears are a good winter tire at a great price. A big drawback though is treadwear which is relatively poor.
Keep in mind they made some big changes within the last year (I think.) Most people I know who used to like them no longer do. IIRC, that's because treadwear got a lot worse and they were running them year round.
I had a set of the "old ones" a couple years ago and still found the treadwear to be poor. Can't imagine how much worse it could be. They lasted a little over a season.
Running winters year round is a whole other issue...
