Having had our first significant snowfall of the year, a solid 10cm on the side roads, these tires have performed exceptionally. They provide ample grip on even significant snow covered inclines, granted with the assistance of the AWD system in my legacy, but its is the lateral grip while cornering and stopping power that really stands out.
Even in lower temperatures - sub 5/6 degrees C- they remain noticeably more flexible, retaining the same grip available at higher temperatures.
Wear is too early to comment other than there are no real signs after 1000 miles on a fairly potent legacy spec b.
100% recommend to anyone looking for a winter/ all season.

I attached the tires with SUBARU Regacy B4 3.0R. Very quiet as same as Bridgestone REGNO. The driving feeling is very smooth like silk and the tires wrap the roughness of road, so the cabin is very quiet and at the same time the dry grip is exellent.

These Kumo tires replaced Bridgestones on my Subaru Spec B and have performed excellently. Wear is very good for a car with 245HP and despite being summer tires have enabled me to drive through deep snow out of my housing estate while other people have been stuck. However it has to be considered the Spec B is 4 wheel drive with a limited slip differential.The general road handling is superb and in particular wet road driving/brake is so very safe. For example on one occasion I had to drive from Frankfort to Luxemburg in heavy rain and easily maintained a speed of 85 to 90mph. At no time was there any change in steering feel or load, the car just felt safe. On the Autobann running at 140mph the car feels totaly stable which is a compliment to both car and tire. I have owned the car for 6 years and driven a total of 55,000 miles. Kumo tires were fitted just after purchase and this report reflects my experiance with two sets of Kumo tires.

Car feels fantastic on these boots. Too early to comment on wear after only 3 months so no rating given for that.

Started by buying these tires after having a asian made cheap tire. Thought of it as a treat for myself.
From the outset I the car felt better! Half the road noise and much less rolling resistance. In the dry felt planted to the road. In the wet you still felt attached to the road, took a fair push to make the tires break traction. The fuel consumption in my case went from 13.8 to 13.4 over time. I am very happy with the tires paying some of their cost back that way. Living in Melbourne Australia, the road conditions never get that bad in real terms. But these tires are great!

So far I've done 10,000km on these with little to no wear visible. They hang on well through hard cornering, are very stable at high speed all the while being quiet and comfortable. They also pulled my car up well before rear ending an Audi in front when I thought there was no chance I would stop in time.
