Replacing OEM ContiPremiumContact with ADVAN V61 E+ on my VOLVO XC90 in last winter. It was surprising me that they were noisier and slippery than the old tires, at the very beginning. After about 500 km, they became normal as they should be. Decent dry and wet grip, much quieter than before. The tire expert advised that is because there is oil protection for such new tires; it would affect their general performance in the first month of use. Although the handing is not hard, the sidewall is pretty strong to conquer the kerb. You will feel more confident when you pump up 37+ PSI on the highway.
