I bought these tires on 12 November 2010 in advance of the very cold winter and was amazed by the smoothness and quietness of the ride in dry and rainy weather.
Since the arrival of the snow on Saturday 27 November 2010 - 8-10 inches ( where I live in Scotland) I am astounded by the road handling and sheer brilliance of these tires. It's as if the snow and ice do not exist and it's like driving on normal road conditions. I have a difficult manouevre from a garage lock-up which has a steep decline / slope into a neighbour's garden in front and these tires make it very simple to negotiate the turn in the snow and ice. Great peace of mind since buying - would definitely recommend.
Female driver of a Mercedes C-Class 180 Sports Coupe - not recognised for handling well in winter conditions - renowned for sliding all over the place in icy conditions BUT these tires are brilliant!
Had to order these tires as a special order - feel they should be readily available off the shelf.Pricey but worth it!
