These are the only winter tyre that has a speed rate of 160mph


Basically, winter tyres work better then summer tyres when the temperature drops below 7 degrees
from November to March the average daily temp is below 7 degrees and wet in England


I think they will outperform PS2 in winter months I will use the cups from April to October as I always have done.



The odd track day in Winter I'll stick the cups back on.

I run those too, albeit 265/30 on the rear. I'm not impressed by their performance in the cold / damp, but they come into their own on snow! On the PS2 I couldn't get anywhere but on these it's fine

On these cold greasey road mornings though I find the levels of grip astonishingly low - lower than the PS2 possibly. It doesn't take much provocation to get the rear wheels spinning widely in 3rd or 4th gear below 60mph.

Update on the Hankook's there a cheap track day tyre and are really scary in winter (worse than R888's) however yesterday at Oulton when it was wet in the morning they were very vague, however when it dried out and the sun was shining I found them very good for the money!!

Yeah, that's why they PS2 listed as a summer tyre.

Don't get me wrong I do think the PS2 are good for a wet track but cups are better on a damp track. And new cups can be better than part worn PS2 in the wet, but we are talking about a good road tyre on this thread. not track tyres.

If you are thinking PS2 are that good buy some for your Land Rover. lol
