I have never tried their winter tires but the gravel tires were fantastic!

FWIW, "Hankook" means "Korea" in the Korean language.

No, hankook (correctly pronounced HANGOOK, but GOOK is derogatory so
they changed it to KOOK) means KOREAN in Korean. Hangul means Korea.

No, the kook/gook is from the Chinese root-word meaning "country," so
hankook/hangook properly means "country of the Han people."

Hangul is the name of the Korean alphabet.

My credentials for making these statements: I attended Seoul's Yonsei
University Korean-language school.

If you're really into _winter tires_ d o n o t t o u c h H a n k o o
k c r a p . If winter traction tires are what you're looking for, and
Bridgestone sounds good for you, get them. If you need real winter tires and
your state law permits spikes, get something with those and you get some
justice for your great car.
Dealers with "value" tires often tell tales of great durability of their
cheaper tires (tires with better profit). My best hamcooked set of tires
lasted almost 10K miles.

I use Artic Alpins on my 2000 Outback. They are very good on slippery
surfaces, not so good on deep snow. Firestone Winterfire snow tires, which I
have also used on a different car, are very good in deep snow, not so good
on ice, but a great value.
