They handle well in snow, ice, and slush, which is a must with my rear wheel drive. Even after 4k miles, there is barely any wear. 

The price? It’s a steal for the quality you get. Sure, they are not the quietest tires out there, but for winter performance at this price, they are hard to beat. I’m sticking with these for the next set, no doubt!

They grip well, even in the snow, and they are pretty comfortable to drive on. 
The only downside is they can be a bit noisy, especially on rough roads, but for the price, they are a great deal.
