Anyone tried them? As good or better than the Goodyear 4 Seasons whcih I can only find in 103H not 103V Generation 2. Have to choose something this week...
Hankook sinergy 4S all season tyres
The Nokians and Vectors were on my list and money was not the issue in my case. Like you I studied lots of reviews but i made my choice based on a friends recommendation and availability at the time. I have absolute confidence in the Hankooks and I would not hesitate to put them on again. I agree that with a £50K vehicle being kept in place by just a few inches of rubber you have to get it right.From what I am seeing, there can be significant variations in performance of tyres within brands, so I would recommend reading reviews, of which there are plenty, and jumping brands as you see fit to get the tyre that suits your needs. FWIW I saw a review of a recent generation Hankook winter tyre that rated them as 'dangerous' on one review and to 'best avoided' elsewhere, yet another similar one from Hankook was very decent. with £50K on wet and snowy roads its not worth making assumptions IMHO.
In the tests I have seen, the Nokian Weatherproofs are essentially neck and neck with the Vector 4 seasons G2, with the former being better on snow/ice and the latter being better on wet roads etc. But both great all rounders, with a different emphasis. For day to day UK use the G2 look the marginally better bet, but you will be in snow a lot the Nokians test as very close to a full winter in this regard. I will almost certainly been putting one of these two on my Cali - most likely the G2. I had them on my V70 and fantastic all round.
My weatherproofs were fantastic today in the snowAnd Im done. For those with (vaguest of) interest I decided to buy very light used second hand set of alloys off 'the bay', then bought some Nokian Weatherproofs from Oponeo which apparently are ok in snow and then had them all fitted today. I'll keep them on most of the time - theyll do for the German winter requirements, wifes family visits in Sweden and the odd ski trip ...and most of all just living in wet, damp, muddy Cumbria. I'll keep the summer tyres/wheels in the cellar and flip over should global warming actually deliver a summer of unmitigated sunshine some time or Ive lots of motorway thrashing to do to visit family etc.

too many bikes, people, prams and outdoor gear for sleeping as well... need a truck
tyres really been great - rated for winter so I figure they will just fail when gets really really bad and in the Lakes here thats rare. If you want a set of wheels I have some on mint ones on e bay - literally just posted.
