Just had my STi out in the snow for the first time and the W300s are phenomenal - I can't wait to go back out and play some more!

You won't regret the purchase!

This is my second season having them on here in Michigan. I got to play with them in the snow tonight, they are awsome in the nasty weather, even dry or rain.

I am happy with them. They wear really well and give great grip in rain, snow and slush. I am on my 3rd winter with them and they still look like they have a ton of tread left.

i haven't ever personally tried them but there were more then enough negitive reviews on them over on nasioc to steer me clear of em, i ended up getting some ipike 409's (for the 00)

Considering what you're hearing on this forum, I'd take whatever is said "over there" with a grain of salt.

^ right, most made them out to be a nice snow tire that still handled good in the dry but compromised a bit in the white stuff, i dont care what my work car handles like on dry pavement in the winter so i went with 409's with a taller sidewall being that i deal with unplowed roads/high winds/drifts all winter i wanted something that'll go through anything i think the conti's are another good option

Well, I can tell you this much.

I had Blizzak LM22's before...now the Icebears. The Hankooks are much better, and I see ALOT of snow (live in north eastern Ontario, Canada)
