Bought these tires because my previous Debica Frigo2 were almost done. I changed my tires size also, from 185/65/R14 with 5J iron wheels to 195/55/R15 on alloy with 6.5J and ET35. That is, wider wheels, better tire stretch, wider mount bearing. So, first impression (comparing with the Debicas, also): they almost feel like a summer tire on dry and wet, which is great! Very good grip. Steering is lighter overall, and the sidewalls are softer, so they are flexing a little bit more, but we are talking about a non XL winter tire. I am very pleased about their behaviour. They insipre confidence. At a whole other level than those Frigo2 tires. Obviously, the colder it gets, the harder the sidewalls feel, which I like, but not a major difference. The tires are balanced.
Also, on snow, they do their job well. I can throw my car in deeper snow, bearing in mind that I'm running on sport springs, lowered stance. I can decently make my way and invent new parking spaces, so they dig well into snow. I would buy them again because of the good performance on dry and wet. In snow, most of the winter tires are alright, even my ex Debicas were pretty nice. Can't say anything about the wear, yet. Safe roads!
