Decent tires. Recently bought new set for 2011 toyota avensis. Tested these tires on my Peugeot 407. Very good price/quality ratio. Not too much difference comparing with premium brands. Dry grip could be a bit better, but that's not a big problem as we are using it during winter period. Hit few big potholes, no damage to the tire at all. Recommended product!

Very good at ice and snow...
Decent tire at dry and highway.
Not noisy as sister tire nankang sn-1 .
Bad at wet.
After 2 year and 20000km tire thickness comes to 5mm and lose cornering at wet.
Dump than as quick as possible ...
Now Michelin CC is very good.

These tires were ok in dry and wet conditions but extraordinarily poor in snow.

Awful tires. Had them on my car for one winter and they were bald when they came off, probably due to their complete lack of grip in all conditions and them sliding whenever I took a corner. They even caused the car to snake just going over white painted lines. Never again!

I am living in Norway, so winters here are not easy. Never had problems with these tires on my BMW E39 528i Touring with automatic gearbox.

Buy again? YES !!

very supprised. no problems at all. don't drive very quick max 150km/h on highways

For the price they cost it's very good choice.
On the wet road good.
Dry road good.
On the icy road middle.
On the snow good.

Comfort and road feedback good. Buy again? Yes

Positive (+): cheap!!!, good dry grip below 90 km/h; excelent grip and handling in deep snow.
Negative (-): very poor handling on dry road above 140 km/h (if the road is bumpy these tires will try to kill you), at 120 km/h feels like run on flat tires; poor grip and handling on ice; poor breaking on wet.
Conclusion: good tires if only used in city below 70 km/h. Don't use them on highway at real winter.

I am extremely surprised at the life and durability of these tires! I paid $420 after shipping to Utah, have driven on them all winter so far (6 months) and they have not worn at all! Now keep in mind I am NOT a slow driver, hardly ever under 90 on the freeway and I do alot of quick shifting and heavy takeoffs. I dont notice any wear! I thought i would be replacing these tires next winter but i didnt care cause of how cheap they were, but NO! Im positive I will be putting these back on for the next 3 winters! Oh also they have excellent snow grip, but not amazing wet grip... Still exceptional, but not amazing. I am very impressed! I will definetly buy these again if I ever have to!

I bout my car with a pair of these on the rear wheels. When snow fell I put them in the front and felt change in performance immediately. Parking, accelerating and climbing hills was not a problem even on unploughed 20cm snow. I felt sorry for all BMWs, Mercs and Jaguars who were stuck on every little hill during the snowy days. I will buy again as they are due for replacing.

WOW - advised from other Mercedes oweners and lets say my Rear-wheel drive Merc CLS was better in 6 inches of snow than the wifes Honda CRV 4x4 !!!
Utterly awesome performance and grip - as if there was no snow at all.
Anyone with a german RWD car will know how god awful they are in snow - this is the answer and at £55 a wheel, well worth the money.
I did 8000 miles over winter and the tread depth only lost 1mm (now 7mm deep) which is FAR BETTER than the Conti's that were on the car.
Definately buying again next year for my other car.

Put these onto my Lexus IS 220D as i was sick fed up of asking for push out of pancacke flat supermarket car parks when there's 1/4" of snow on the ground!!

What a fantastic difference. They allow you to confidently predict how the car will behave in wintry conditions.
Its a little scary realising just how risky it was driving around on normal tires before.
Also, my Insurance Co. didn't have an issue with changing over to winter tire.

WOW - bought these tires after seeing positive comments on Mercedes Owners forum. Mercedes CLS would not even move in light snow before, but with these winter tires fitted it is as good as my Freelander 4x4 - have driven in snow depth upto 5 inches just fine, grips strongly in corners, climbs steep hills easily and brakes well coming down the other side. Fuel economy unchanged compared to my Summer Continental tires. I was a tire "Brand" snob - not any more, these are fantastic, and keep making me drive in the snow looking for other BMW / Mercedes drivers who are stuck - just to show off !!

This tires on an Allroad C5 is awsome
