unbelievable in both fresh and compressed snow.With these tires moving on snow is like moving on wet asphalt.You can move very confident on snow.Wet grip is good either.Even my Opel Corsa C with no abs i didn't measure any sliding.İf TS800 still produced,i can recommend them in small car tire class.

Noise wise, they didn't seem any noisier then my summer tires, and seemed to grip almost as well in the dry.
Last winter, the grip in the snow and wet seemed to be greatly reduced, and they seamed to aquaplane easily. The tread was 1mm above the ware marker and the diamonds on the top of the blocks had almost worn away. Buying another set again this year. Top quality tire for a good price. (£70)

They have paid for themselves that first winter, I was one of the few able to get to work during the heavy snow.
Fantastic grip in the wet or dry in the winter months, braking is incredible in the snow and ice and also wet. Left the car parked on an extremely steep hill in the snow, performed a hill start with no problems.
Road noise more than the Continental ecocontact3's but the ride is far better, I assume due to the more flexible sidewalls and also the rubber content.
Extremely good tires
Wear is impressive my wife drove with them on until early summer without any noticeable wear or handling/braking deficencies.

Many times I had to stop on a steep hill(in the deep snow) and start from there and without any effort it just has a grip and go. This is so good in the snow as if I were on the dry road with the summer tires, unbelievable! I`m happy I bought it before the first snow arrived.
Surprisingly quiet if not quieter than my ContiEcoContact3 summer tire.
The rubber is so soft I can squeeze it with my fingers, a lot better than the hardened summer tire in the cold. Definitely worth to buy winter tires.
The fuel consumption hasn`t changed remained the same as with the summer tires.
The new tire`s thread depth is 7,5-8mm.
