average miles
I have a SUV - 3008 with grip control.
I live in the UK - temperate climate, hardly snows if ever - we get our fair share of rain....
I don't offroad. Mostly town and motorway.
I have these tires as they came with the car.
I've listed the review as average driving style, but in truth the car does get pushed ( 'spirited')more often than that.
Coming up to 30K miles on these tires. 3.2mm left on front 4.4 on rear.
I think its fair to say that in the UK 10 years ago, very very few people would have even known that winter tires were an option, certainly my parents have never had them fit in there nearly 60 years each of driving.
Nowadays, especially with the german brigade failing miserly whenever there is the slightest sign of light frost, winter tires seem to be 'the norm'.
These tires are classed as mud and snow tires by peugeot, on here they are classed as Premium Touring Summer tires designed to be fitted to SUV and 4x4's.
I'm no tire expert, but to me; the tread pattern looks like its designed for more than summer roads - and having driven these for 30k miles, i can say with confidence that these tires are great.
Wet and dry handling, braking, confidence is brilliant - keeping in mind its an SUV.
Pushing it hard in roundabouts, its predictable, you just know...
I haven't encountered deep snow, i'd like to know if these are good in snow, but we just don't see any. However, for the UK, in sub 7 degree temps they perform like my wifes car which IS shod in winter rubber.
All I can say is that i wouldn't hesitate to buy these again (which won't be long for the front). Infact, i don't think i would consider a summer tire of these. If you own a SUV in a climate similar to mine, then consider these.
