I need snow tires for my SC300. Has anyone here had experiance with Hankook Icebear Snow Tires? I can't afford Blizzacks, and I saw these on ebay. Brand new, 4 tires from Discount tire for $356. Also I think the recommended sidewall size is 55, would it matter that much if I got a 60 or 50 sidewall?

The highly rated and improved Blizzak WS60 is only about $92 (before tax) at Sams Club for a 215/60-16 which is about the same price as Hankook from Discount Tires. Besides Sams Club only charges $9 for tire installation which includes mounting, balance, road hazard warranty, new valve stem, and free rotation. For winter driving, the narrower and slightly higher profile tire size listed above is actually better than your current size to give you better bite since you really don't want a big fat tire for wintery conditions. Just my opinion.

I checked the manual, and recommended snow tire size is 225/55. I will probably buy 215/55, hopefully these will fit under my lowered SC. What tire sizes do other SC owners use for winter?
