Had snowtrac3's before and expected these to be not as good. They were almost as good in the snow, but slightly better in wet and dry and somewhat quieter; so while the snowtrac's have it on the snow, I prefer these for winter all round. Still look unworn after 1 winter.

Bought these November 2010 at onset of snow for use in Northumberland .
Huge difference - pulling away and through fairly deep snow they worked a treat.
Good in the rain too, with more grip pulling out at junctions etc.
Put them in the loft and fitted back on today(November 2011) . Did 4300 miles last winter and
They show no signs of wear at all. Fully recommended .

Bought from ATS last year and used until the Spring. Superb just wish I had fitted them years ago. No more road noise than the normal tires on my Ford Focus and the fuel consumption which I was expecting to be worse was identical. The difference in performance between the brands isn't worth worrying about and they are all far superior during the winter than summer tires.

Bought these to manage in the snow in rural yorkshire and trips to scotland. Grip in the snow and ice is very good. As you would expect.
I'm very pleasantly surprised that their dry grip is fine and that they are no noisier and use no more fuel than the Continetals I swapped them for.
