I fitted these at the start of October which might have been a bit early as they feel a bit greasy in the wet over 10 degrees C, but once the temperature had dropped a bit they really came into their own.
In the dry they are perfect, really confidence inspiring. In the wet, similar but perhaps slightly less grip if you push them. They're a lot quieter than my Continental summer tires and comfort levels are similar, if not slightly better due to the softer compound.
Ice and snow don't seem bother these tires, as long as you don't take too many liberties. Slush and shallow snow feel almost like normal driving if you keep to sensible speeds and I've even managed to get up a slight incline through 5 inches of snow just being careful.
All things considered, I would definitely recommend these tires to anyone considering winter tires and I wouldn't hesitate to buy them again.
