My third pair of winter tires 205 55 16 on my Mondeo diesel estate. General country and town mileage. About 15k on first pair, just fitted second pair. They're so good, for the money,I got the second pair, for a matched set.
I no longer get that scary feeling when I hit standing water/slush at motorway speeds.
They are a bit noisier than my summer Goodyears, in the dry, it's not often dry when I have them on, so it makes no difference to me in the real world.
They are a bit duller feeling than summers, but in bad weather that is a good thing for me.
They did wear quicker in the summer, while getting summer alloys refurbished.
The breakaway is very gentle, if a bit earlier, which makes for a safer licence!
Fuel consumption is no worse than most summers, made up for by more moderate speeds in bad weather.
In real snow, I can get places where 4x4s on allseason tires can't go, hills are no problem, up or down.
I suspect they may be a Chinese ripoff of last generation Sotto zeros, but half the price!
