First I want to say that I was impressed with how the car goes on fresh snow or trodden You think you tracked tank underneath. These are the best winter tires that we had. Friends who went to the car on snow. I was asked what model of car tires all have fitted? There's a big difference between this model and the rest.

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.

Just put those on my Audi after 17inch summer tire, and couldn't believe the difference compared to any previous winter tires. Superbly quiet and comfortable, and a few days ago snow made a chaos in the city - but not for me. I was parking out and in without any problem through the fresh snow, and driving with amazing amount of control, ASR only kicked in a few times. Still can't say anything about the wear, but just had to write a review after the first very positive impressions.

Fantastic Tire, I bought a complete set of these tires for my Vectra after a slippery incident on the ice with my previous tires. These are so good i've bought a second set a month later for my wife's zafira. I have been out on some very icy days since and it is like driving a different car. Well worth the money

Given 100% while driving a Vauxhall Zafira 1.8 16v 140Ps (205/55 R16 H) on a combination of roads for 113 average miles
Let me start this way, I drive them for several years, it's certified and guaranteed quality is good investment for the safety of my family on winter roads.
Many British drivers, although do not know what that means but it is just such. :o(

WR G3 really delighted me particularly quiet driving on dry and wet road.


The total gasoline consumption by about 500 miles unchanged compared to summer tires.

I personally look forward to tidy snow, so I was able to complete test their quality.

I think this is the optimum tire in the UK such the dreaded black ice
