After, now, 6 winter seasons: these are going in the bin.
From new, wet performance was abysmal and concerning bordering on alarmingly bad. Damp roads, wet roads, slush, or anything with a breath of moisture in the air: wet traction is just outright bad.
Dry performance is just fine for a midrange winter tire. I do need to adjust my driving style when I first mount them for the season but nothing I wouldn’t say is “bad”. On grooved concrete roads, though, the tires will try and wander - it’s a bit disconcerting the first time.
Snow and ice performance, unlike the damp, is actually quite good.
These are not something I would ever buy again. The wet performance is unbelievably awful, and as temperatures float above / below freezing : it’s just unacceptable.
