Good all-round tire for the money.
Very good in snow. It's REALLY noisy compared to my summer Goodyear AS5.

These tires have not scored that good in the tests I have read but I read various recommendations from owners, especially regarding driving dynamics. I was in urgent need for new winter tires (nail in one of the old) so the recommendations together with a good price made me take a chance. And man I am glad I did! For me these tires has been great. Not the best grip on hard acceleration or breaking, they are quite soft, but hey - these are winter tires. We have not had a hard winter this year (I live in Sweden) but during the weeks of snow and ice, the grip has been surprisingly good. Good handling over all and really, really silent. Fantastic in wet, I do many hours on high speed highways every week and have felt really secure even in heavy rain and high speed. So all in all, I can truly recommend these tires.

On an AWD stinger, these tires played in 50cm deep snow. Whereas other cars were getting stuck, my car was just playing. Only in the snow drift will you feel the car trying to find traction which it found in seconds.
Although these tires work well in snow, dry and wet roads, they do not like slick icy snow or ice. You can feel the ABS trying to stop the car on such conditions or feel the rear wanting to fishtale when taking a turn slowly (from a stop- nevermind at speed).

The tire has egg shape and no balancing can fix it. I went back to the seller and they send the tire to the factory for testing and they said its in the normal specification. At 110kmh and more the druving is uncomfortable because the vibrations from tire. Very disapointed at the factory testing...

Tires went wobbly right after 10000km. Unrepairable with 3 different tire balancing machines. Simply 2of4 tires were shot.Do not expect these tires to be reliable , the price tells you all. Definitelly won't buy or recommend these any more.

Bought these tires because they were cheaper compared to other Ultra High Performance tires (Michelin PS4S, Pirreli Sotozzero, Vrendstein Wintrac). We don't get much snow and I thought for 3 months these will be fine until I switch to my normal summer tires. I have a 450HP all wheel drive electric car.
Turns out, the tires have weak lateral sidewalls and as such handling on my car suffers a lot (and I like a sporty drive). A lot of fine dust rubber from the rear tires ends up on the car's paint and glues on to it - something I didn't expect would happen and washing this dust from the paint is very difficult to do. Tires are also a bit noisy. Decent tires but wouldn't buy again.

Tires are a bit noisy and the handling got a bit vague. Good anti aquaplaning (160kmh+ in heavy rain) and an overall safe feeling

These are great tires, I use them on a Auris Hybrid for about 20k miles and mostly motorways driving plus some country lanes and some A &B roads, they are absolutely brilliant in wet, very good in dry and snow and ice just grippy as on dry surface. Most important factor before my purchase was the noise level , and they exceeded my expectation, these tires are quieter than many summer tires, which is something unusual. Comfortable, safe, and reasonably priced i can highly recommend them. Fuel efficiency is also not much affected, they are typical euro winter tires. ðŸ‘

Cant say much. Basically i was looking for not too expensive tire and that was it. On dry it is great. Wet grip is not that good but on snow and ice it is handling extremely well. I drove 2000 km by now. Wearing is not something i can comment on but i am surprised the tires are still okay given the fact i was driving on something most people would correct me if i say it is a road :D. I would probably buy this again. Not too many tires are better than this and for the price it is a bargain.
