The worst winter tire I have ever had. Very poor on wet and snow. Even as a new one it could not cope with winter conditions.

Good tires!

My only real complaint would be the fact that they are quite unstable and a bit too soft.

Great for snowy weather though!

These were generally good tires. I used them for 14,000 miles (23,000 km) and there was still about 5 mm of the pattern left.
