Glad you like the tires, at least you researched and asked questions, let us know what you think when you get them on.

thanks, and they are on now so will send updates, post pics if anybody wants to see. Had them on a major highway today, dry pave, but smooth, etc. That is to be expected. Snow expected tomorrow so if it does, I have travelling to do so will see how they perform and let you guys know..

I did look at the Duratrac's as they had a set for me, but the price would probably be $300 more. The tire does look great, but only comes in a 10 ply in Canada, so I would have to inflate to around 50PSI at least. This would probably have it run a bit more rough and possibly wear down a bit more I think, so I decided to pass....

The Hankook had a nice quiet soft drive so far today, and will see how it handles in snow tomorrow.
Thanks for all the tips guys!

Glad you like them so far. It seems to have a pretty aggressive tread for an at, great for dual purpose and any kind of commute.

yeah it's not bad for an A/T..the Dura's are sweet though! If I was into off roading would probably have bought them

sure when I have a chance early next week i will. I am at a Sales Show for a few days but back Tuesday...

Had them in minor light snows last couple of days and okay in 2WD, bit of slippage which is to be expected around corners only. In 4H they really grab....
