Good winter tires, although I did not had a chance to drive it in real snow.
Frosty mornings were absolutely fine.

A bit noisy, and I was surprised that they are rated at 68db. They sound much louder than any summer tires I had.

Hold the road well at 120mph and the sidewalls strong.

Grip or wear is fine. Car have done many miles on them (I personaly about 5000) but the COMFORT is 0%. The tire is way too heavy and strength. Its because of it runflat type. When I changed them for non ROF tires the comfort went up to 100%.
When I drove over some bumps on the road the car was all shaking. I am sure the suspension was suffering with these tires.
I would certainly never buy ROF tires again. Maybe Dunlop M3 are okay, but not ROF..
