Used (1 season) Hankook Icebear winter tires for the fronts?
So I found a decent deal on a set of 235/40/18 front tires.

$150 for the pair is a fantastic deal. I have brand new LM-25s for the rear, but no idea for the front yet.
Think it's worth buying these? I can buy NEW Icebears for $157/ea, or Michelin Pilot Alpin PA2s for $187/ea+shipping. There are some winter tires on eBay that I'm bidding on but don't expect to get, so I'm considering these Hankooks.
What do you guys think?

Another option is this guy, selling 245/40/18 Dunlop Winter Sport M3s w/ 75% condition (looks like 9/32nds of tread)...

I have the Dunlop winter sport m3 and they are very good, my street is fairly steep and sits at 6000 feet. As you know living where you do that a torque monster rear drive vehicle is not going to be great in the snow. But I have been happy with the Dunlops.
