Better than expected tires for the price. Had these on my winter sh'tpile in vain hope it would still move in the snow.
Very pleasantly surprised with grip in wintery conditions, little wheelspin even when going quite hard from a standing start.
Dry lateral grip is pretty good as you'd expect for such a soft compound, even harder to get the arse out with these than on warm summers. Never felt uneasy leaning on them through fast corners despite heavy car.
Wear levels are a big downside, I've had these on for 5 months and 4,500 miles and am nearly down to the markers on both the driven wheels. I expected the winters to wear a bit faster but these are by far the fastest wearing tires I've ever seen for road cars. I usually get 2 maybe 3 seasons from winter tires but ill be amazed if these last next winter.
