Bought these tires for a road trip from Vancouver to Edmonton figuring I might need them to climb through the Rocky Mountains. These all weather tires are fantastic in wet conditions I drive a Chevy Spark and these tires are so much better than the standard tires that came equipped with the car. They are also great when you hit potholes and were problem free when i had to drive 70km on gravel roads to get to a distant Hot Spring near Radium Hot Springs. I only drove a bit on packed snow near Edmonton but it gripped well. I am looking forward to a snowfall in Vancouver to really put them through the snow test. I have been recommending these tires to all my friends and workmates. Not sure how long they will last because they are a softer compound than my old all season tires. All said I am very happy with the investment in these tires I could have bought cheaper all weather tires but I'm glad i paid a little extra for these tires.
