Default Winter Tires

Any experience with Dunlop Graspic HS-2 winter tires on a GS 400? Any experience on the noise level? Traction?

Had Dunlop winter sport m2 put on my 430 two days ago. 36psi. Tire rack (Mario) suggested stock size of 225/55/16 since I want good over the road and dry road handling as well as good in the white stuff. Have not pushed them yet as the mold release lube needs to go away first. A few days will do that.
Compared to the stock Goodyears with 27000 miles, these are better so far within the above restrictions. The steering wheel turns easier, the car follows the road better, they are quieter and smoother.
Shinchan reports on the way they handle snow, and that will make them a fine choice for those of us this far north.
Hopefully my snow report will be weeks off. But then again, perhaps tomorrow.
