Previous tires were Toyo's which were replaced by Toyo's Observer Ice freezer and I bought a pair of Winrun's for the rear. I am aware that its not recommended
to mix tires from different brands but until the winrun's I had no issues for the past 30 years. During a sudden snowstorm in Tallinn Estonia I was forced to put the Toyo's on the front and keep my summer Vredestein's on the back to get home. I was amazed with the Toyo's and very pleased.
Then the studded Winrun's were mounted at the rear axl. Up to 80km/hr there was nothing really noticeable. But as soon I hit 100km/hr the car started to move all directions and I was terrified I was loosing control. The road was only WET! No ice or snow yet. I really thought that there was something wrong with stabilizers or suspension but during a check there was nothing found.
I put the winrun's on the front and at least the car was drivable. Nevertheless I could now determine the shortcomings of this tire. Both on the wet and dry they loose grip so easily in turns. Not to mention in ice or snowy conditions. I never had such negative experience with a winter tire before.
I cannot write about the wear rate. One winter was enough.
