I've driven around 3000km since i had them fitted and i'm very pleased by their performance. Tires perform very good in all conditions. From my experience the only drawbacks are that they are somewhat noisy and have high rolling resistance so my fuel consumption increased by approx. 0.3-0.5L/100km. Still, i would highly recommend if you need good budget oriented winter tires

This is the 3rd winter i am using this tires, they are very good on dry, wet or snow. I can say they are as good as premium tires. The only problem i had was on the highway at over 140kmh, at this high speed you can feel they are not premium tires. Still, i would buy again.

ive done around 6000 miles int these tires which i have to say are amazing. Ive had them fitted to my bmw 330d m sport and have driven in 20cm of snow and i didnt get stuck. I was really surprised because the bottom (underneath) of the car was rubbing against the snow and it was kind of stopping my car you could feel it however it still kept going. these tires are amazing for snow. i did try them in some ice but not too much and they did do well - i kept going. I live in a mountainous region above 1400 m above sea level and everything is steep either up or down. temperature wise -20, -30 and no problems with them. ride comfort is really good kind of softer than others tires or im not used to it :) good start and stop in temperatures under 2C both on concrete and snow.
HOWEVER I SERIOUSLY DO NOT RECOMMEND THEM FOR SPEEDS OF OVER 110MpH (175KMpH). when i got on the highway i almost had a crash when i was doing 180kmph when my car suddenly kind of steered of to a side \. i consulted a friend who is a mechanic and he said its of the tires because they are soft they are not ment for high speeds.
100% i would buy them again for snowy days i had a lot of fun :)

Good luck i highly recommend them for snowy days and overall winter.
