Initial Impressions
The winter performance of these tires is downright terrifying. Hard-pack and ice are very sketchy when on a work truck, and the most scary of all is a light layer of snow on top of ice. The snow performance is fine, but if you know there is going to be ice, avoid getting on the road. Definitely a great summer/spring tire.

Initial Impressions
they're great in every way, except the 3PMSF part, their deeper snow grip is fine, however, they struggle when there's a light cover of snow, and they're completely useless and plain dangerous when on ice, my GT Radial Champiro Touring AS are better, and those are basic M+S.

Being an all-weather tire, it's surprisingly good all year with very few compromises ! Summer performance is very good ! I live north of Montreal, Canada so we get a lot of snow and ice from November to April so winter performance is my no1 priority : snow traction is as good as winter tires, ice traction is not as good as a real winter tire but close enough and way better than regular all-season tires ! Noise is a non-issue, very quiet tire ! Wear is not as good as I expected, they seem to wear quickly, they will need replacement at around 22 000 miles to keep a good winter performance, but I guess that's the price to pay for a better compound for wintry conditions. I would 100% recommend this tire !

Love the tire on my 2018 Nissan Titan pro4x. Got 70k out of each set. At 143k and about due for a third set. Mostly highway driving with some dirt roads mud and the occasional Texas snow thrown in.
