    Given 100% while driving a Volvo XC60 D5 AWD Auto (235/60 R18 W) on a combination of roads for 20,000 spirited miles
    Bought these 2 yrs ago. Mixed surfaces. Only used during the winter months. Wear rate is good. Feel very soft when cornering especially in warmer weather. Solid grip in wet conditions and felt very comfortable on the motorway. Noise is slightly high, but not too noticeable.

    Given 93% while driving a Kia Motors Sportage (225/60 R17 H) on a combination of roads for 2,000 average miles
    These tires are excellent for the typical UK winter. Good in snow, wet or dry. Really pleased with these. Had these on through all the recent snowy weather and they just grip whatever the conditions.

    Best SUV tire available in OEM size. Used year round with no problems, better wear than OEM tires. Great in snow and ice during winter, will buy again.

    These winter tires just fitted to CRV - cannot fault, amazing grip on snow and ice, braking, steering and general grip all superb. Would recommend 100% for Winter, no trial yet in hot weather.

    Given 60% while driving a GMC (235/75 R15 Q) on a combination of roads for 18,000 easy going miles
    Good overall tire for most winter conditions without excelling at any one. Better than average dry performance in the winter tire category. Less than average snow traction for a winter tire. Once the tire wears past about 30% they become very poor in snow. They are studdable; if you need snow traction I recommend the studs; however studded tires handle very differently than studless tires and chances are most of the other attributes of this tire, in particular warm wet and dry handling, would go away with studs. Probably a good tire for warmer winter climates, such as coastal areas, for drivers who spend most of the winter without ice and snow conditions.
