I like these tires overall they have a nice steering feel with good feedback for a tire of this type, but they could use a bit more snow and ice traction.
Dry grip is slightly above average with moderate understeer at the limit, wet grip is impressive with above average braking.
Cant comment on wear since I've only had these tires for 1000 miles

I had tried winter Debica tire on my office car and it was OK for a budget choice. Usually budget tires last no more than 3 years and then they deteriorate drastically. Knowing this I bought all-season tires for my personal car thinking I'll buy better ones(like Michelin for instance) later on. I saw reviews that this tire wet grip is bad, but I did not know how bad indeed it is. Once I even lost the track and went out of the road after slight curve with 25mp/h. The tire was at ~2.5 years of service and I knew I must be careful and I was quite familiar with the road. So on wet road this tire is awful - totally do not recommend it. You can drive your car but need to be extremely cautious if there is water. During heavy rain in mountain and if you descend for instance - drive veeery slowly. During summer it stays soft and it can sometimes "whistle" on curves. In snow (I have tried it quite rare though) it performs well. After one summer season some tiny cracks formed at the surface and after the second summer they got more and bigger. After 4 years of service the size of the grapple is still more than sufficient but the mixture compound cracks.
So in my opinion this is quite poor choice for all-weather tire. It may be good in snow but snow melts to water in cities and it is very bad in wet conditions.
I am still using it after 4 years since I drive at low speed, but probably after a month or two I will finally replace it.

I've got the Hankooks after having the Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance. Very Good tire overall on all surfaces and nice feedback. The only negative is that after some sporty driving overheats a bit, but i guess that this is not very important on this category.

Dissapointed. These are cheap, but not worth it. On hot days, you don't even have to go fast, and all you'll be hearing is the tires squeaking while losing grip. That makes them unusable to me as a summer tire.

These tires gave me enough confidence mostly in torrential rains, no hydroplaning at all. Under dry condition, they had enough grip for a pretty dynamic ride. They were supposed to be "fuel saver" but according to some tire tests, they had the biggest rolling resistance from all tires in the test. Luckily I did not experience any fuel economy issues, at lest not coming from the tires. Probably their high level of rolling resistance was the reason why they did not last long. If they had not been discontinued I would definitely buy them again.

Worst winter tires I've owned. It seems they were made of some hard rubber which made them practically wear resistant yet almost dangerous in snow conditions. I even skidded twice at low speed during winters from what I managed to recover once but the second one was completely unrecoverable. Otherwise they were decent during weak winters with lack of snow.

Good value for money. Had pirelli tires on before. Exceeded my expectations for the price, decent overall performance and mine currently has about 60% tread left after 25000km driven.
