Best winter tyres I've driven on. They perform great in snow and ice, quiet at highway speeds.

I drive every day and the tires are quite good. They handle well. But I would mention the fact that they are factory studded and at 60-70 mhp there is awful unbearable noise. Would definitely not buy again, but for city or suburban usage only, yes maybe.

I've bought these tires brand new but never had the chance to try them in deep snow because of the warm winter. And finally I had done that. We have very deep snow this winter, the roads are not cleaned at all and these tires perform amazingly! I really didn't expect that! The ride is quiet and handling is well. They are great! Great value for money!
