Glad you like the new tires.
FWIW, this is season number 8 on our Hankook IPike RW-11's on our Explorer. They have worn extremely well for a snow tire, and have done everything we've asked them to do. And driving them back to back against new all season tires, they are an improvement in all winter related conditions.
Are they the best winter tires I've ever used? No. Better than all seasons for winter, yes.
That being said, I've seen a couple of more recent reviews on these commenting on poor traction. Mine are over 8 years old (and on their last season).
