good tires, run them for 3 winters now in the UK on my vRS, the colder it gets the better they get. old design now, but still worth it over summer tires :)

My 4th set of various versions of Goodyear winter tires, just about to replace my first set of GW3 for another set. Rears managed 45,000 miles and would have made 55,000 if not for a puncture leading me to replace both of them. Front tires managed 55,000 miles with still legal tread but I'm heading to the Alps this weekend so wanted full tread depth. They're no louder than the Continental summer tires that were fitted when I bought the car. Car grips well in all conditions, performs well in snow and ice, extremely well wearing - they were run through the summer as well as winter because frankly I couldn't be bothered to get them changed.

good year eagle m+s ultra grip gw-3 run flat

great for dry and wet conditions but not that good on snow

Great tires. Unlike many on hear i bought these tires for a FWD car. My brother has a e46 BMW sport which is unbelievably poor in winter conditions and I’ll be recommending these to him when the pilot sport’s need changing. They have been very hardwearing on my golf gt Tdi, a car renowned for eating their front tires. I have had them on with little sign of wear for 5000 miles and I have no doubt they’ll do another 5000-10000! Would defiantly recommend!

Have spent a couple of weeks driving around on these now, the last week of which has been on snow. Having a rear drive BMW these tires have been a god send. Last winter in the snow I had a TT with Quattro which was amazing, I was worried this year as most of the cars I saw stuck were Beemers or Mercs, but with these tires I've had no problems at all even starting on steep snowy slopes. I can't recommend these highly enough. Well worth the money for the peace of mind alone.
