Best tire for your money. Forget so called premium brands wich take your money for nothing or at least nothing better than this tire.

Given 79% while driving a Mazda MX5 (185/60 R14 T) on mostly country roads for 4,000 spirited miles
My first set of winter tires, fitted to my mk1 Eunos. Never had any trouble in snow and ice and I deliberately took the uncleared and ungritted roads to work and found the steepest bits I could. Awesome sideways fun. One highlight was overtaking a 4x4 (safely) in the snow with the roof down as he screamed 'are you maaaad?'

Took 100 miles or so to bed in - they were so slippery to start with, I kept having to check I didn't have a puncture. Once bedded, dry grip was enough, wet grip quite good. No real noise penalty over the summer gsd3s. They do lack quite a bit of precision and introduced quite a bit of response delay. Very comfy though.

It's prompted me to get winter tires for my other car and also for my missus to insist on having a set too.

Found these exceptioal during the recent big freeze. I drive a BMW 5 series, and they are not renowned for grip on slippery surfaces. These tires transformed the car with no hill holding any fear for me.I can highly reccommend these.
