Thanks jjbkid for the reply on winter tires. I am leaning heavily towards the Hankooks after having just left Can Tire with a couple of quotes: 84.99 for Hankook RC01 vs 120.99 for General Tire Altimax Arctic. Quote for Altimax was 592 and change installed and balance; 844 with rims.

I have seen quite a few Echoes, Yaris, and Civics with Goood Year Nordics

Although a little expensive, the Altimax Arctic has many favourable reviews, and some say it is comparable to a Michelin X-Ice and other premium tires at 75-80% of the cost.

Don't know how you found icy intersections with the Hankook RC01 tires, but the only negative theme in their reviews was that they weren't so hot on ice and hard packed snow/ice such as at intersections....

Thanks again for your feedback...very helpful.

I am using the Hankook Ipike W409. I got it last winter, i am not sure what the replacement tire is for it. Right now it is mounted on the Corolla.

Right now the Yaris is on stock tires, no winter tires on it. I drive the Corolla more in the winter..

This tire is pretty good on dry, and snow.. But after last night not very good on ice.... Last night was intense driving home.. I almost got into 4 crashes...

People lost control in front of me, i was able to stop or swerve out of the way... Hope you made it home safe last night...
