2024-09-13 - Given global warming, should we choose the hankook ion flexclimate or the hankook ion i* cept?
I live in Switzerland and I am regularly at an altitude of 1000m. But in recent years we have had little snow.
Thanks for your feedback
Greetings.
Interesting question. I often recommend to regions that don't see much snow over the winter that a good all season tire is a better winter tire than a good winter tire, however your local weather pattern might indicate something a bit stronger in winter for those emergency situations.
