Top 3 Imperial Snowdragon+3 Reviews

Given 60% while driving a Ford Fiesta Zetec S (205/40 R17) on a combination of roads for 35,000 spirited miles

Car: 2014 Ford Fiesta Red 140HP
Tire life: 4 years (40k km)
Excellent snow and ice grip, acceptable dry weather grip, progressive handling only in the dry. Terrible sudden underwater and oversteer in the wet.

(255/35 R18) on for 0 miles

Had these tires couple times on two different cars. Yes these are pretty cheap tires, but they have a lot of tire runout from factory. Which means no matter how straight or balanced your wheels are, you're gonna feel vibration from them.

Given 56% while driving a BMW 335i (225/35 R19 W) on mostly motorways for 1,000 spirited miles

Bought these tires for the winter, a bit of a panic buy, but needed tires for the winter. I have found them quite average in the wet cold conditions, you could even say the good summer tires are better in these conditions. Comfort is reasonable so is road noise. I would advise not push in the car on these tires as the car feels very nervous and not confidence inspiring. Can't give a review on wear rate yet as I have only done 1000 miles on them. I will not be buying again unfortunately.
