Good tires, good on snow, but I would not consider it good for winter because it is very poor on ice...

70dB Quietest tires
The quietest tires in the range are labelled from 70 dB external noise:
Label values come from the EU EPREL database and vary by size - the figures here are each tire's best declared size. Wet grip and rolling resistance run from class A (best) to E; noise is the measured drive-by figure. A good label is a floor, not a verdict: the tests and rankings above tell you far more.

The most recent reviews, in their own words
Great budget tires, 16 year old RWD BMW had absolutely no problems in snow, icy conditions nor wet roads. Already did around 10.000km, as a budget option I highly recommend them.
Usless in swedish climate, not a wintertire, mayby works in spain☀ï¸
Having used the Ultra Speed 1 version, I 've noticed a significant improvement in dry handling, whereas the wet grip is just a step below its predecessor. Regarding my car is a Nissan Almera-Pulsar N15 with SR20DE (143hp) front wheel drive - no ABS. Ultra Speed's 2 side walls are pretty hard, providing a nice feel during aggressive driving. Another improvement is dry braking (remember, no ABS) where wheel locking is reduced significantly, having in mind that I live in Greece, where asphalt quality lacks of grip.
Compared to Nokian Line, Ultra Speed 2 informs way before sliding, driving aggressively on b-roads.
Only "con" is the tread wears quite faster than Nokian Line, but the same as Ultra Speed 1.
Tire pressures: F/R 35/32, car weight: 1140kg.
I would buy it again, cause its price beats tread wear.

Dry - very good.
Wet - very good.
Snow - really good.
Ice - useless (maybe because of car weight of almost 2 tons).

Good on dry handlingwise. very weak in the wet and snow. early understeer and struggling a lot with traction. they seem to be better summer than winter tires for me.
would not recommend.
