Went through the blizzard of the century in Utah with these on my Mercedes GLE 350, and no issues at all! My friend with a Chevy Silverado doubted it, but these tires handled 2 feet of snow like a pro. 
Even got stuck once but dug myself out in 5 minutes. 

These tires were worth every cent during that storm!!!

Had to get these for my 2015 BMW X5 M, and they’re the only winter tires available. They’re okay in snow, but wear out quickly and get super loud, especially around 20-45 mph. It feels like I’m driving a dump truck with all the whap-whap noise. Once they’re halfway worn, the noise is just unbearable. Not worth the cost at all!

Got these for my Range Rover Sport. They wear out super fast, and the noise is unbearable after a few thousand miles. At highway speeds, its fine, but around town, its like driving with flat tires... constant whap-whap noise. Definitely not worth the price. Stuck with them because theres no other option.
