These tires are just not good. Hard and heavy especially noticeable in extreme cold (-25°C and below) Tires stiffen up so much that they can even slip off the rim if theres any slight cracking in the paint. Ive had them rebalanced twice but they just don’t hold up. After two seasons theyre already showing significant wear.

They are okay for the price. Good in mild winter conditions but really struggle on ice especially on slight inclines. The rubber gets really hard in cold weather, even at -25c, making them almost unusable. Theyre fine if youre in a place with warmer winters, but I wouldnt recommend them for extreme cold or icy roads.
