Very good all-around winter tire. As I live near the Alps the tires were tested in various winter condition, ranging from heavy snowfall to icy surfaces. Especially good in wet at lower temperatures. Driving comfort could be a little bit better as the tires are quiet noisy at highway speeds, but this is mainly due to M+S profile on tire. Will buy again.

Warning!
This is the worst winter tire i ever had.
NO GRIP ON SNOW/ICE.
On wet and dry it´s fine, and it´s sort of ok in slushy snow but as son as it gets below -5 it´s worthless.
You might just stick whit some soft compound summer tire instead.
I'm living in Sweden so i tested it a lot on real winter roads up here in the north and this is not a tire of choice.

I've noticed no difference driving on these in the late summer and into autumn compared to my other car fitted with Continental Contact2 tires. But come the first snow fall . . . these tires are amazing. The grip in heavy rain, slush, mud and snow (both fresh and compacted) is little short of astounding. Highly recommended and I will be buying again. The value for money is beyond compare.
