bought these for our citygo for the winter, and they are doing very well indeed. The snow has not impeded the trip to work at all, no drama, just good grip in all UK winter weather so far. totally recommended.

I have driven almost 40000kms on them and still have 6mm of tread. Wet grip is very good as well as the ride comfort. The snow performance is not the best but for winter with not very much snow it is ok.
