I have driven this tire on Ford fiesta for a 10 years and they are amaizing performance. When I change from sommer to winter tire I should press lower gas not to start fast, expecialy on the reverce drive. Very good tire for any conditions, dry, wet, snow, only ais perfomance are less. I have driven in 1,52 m fresh snow on Borowetz without any problems.

probably the best winter tires I ever fitted on my cars
exceptional in all weather conditions they kept me safe even when I made driving mistakes at high speed on wet and snowy roads
I can not recommend enough this excellent winter tire

excellent winter tires extremely good in all weather conditions
these tires made my rides always safe even with icy or snowy roads

Probably,the best winter tire in it's class.I am using them since 2011 winter and i am planning to give another chance in 2015 winter.I can say they are long lasting tires but their primary benefit is the snow grip.They are
unbelievable in both fresh and compressed snow.With these tires moving on snow is like moving on wet asphalt.You can move very confident on snow.Wet grip is good either.Even my Opel Corsa C with no abs i didn't measure any sliding.Ä°f TS800 still produced,i can recommend them in small car tire class.

These tires lasted me 3 winters, swapping to summer tires from March/ April and back in November/ December between the years of 2010 to 2013. New they offered amazing grip in the snow and wet. Never threatened to aquaplane when hitting deep standing water. They always gripped well in all types of snow, from 2ft deep to thick slush.

Noise wise, they didn't seem any noisier then my summer tires, and seemed to grip almost as well in the dry.

Last winter, the grip in the snow and wet seemed to be greatly reduced, and they seamed to aquaplane easily. The tread was 1mm above the ware marker and the diamonds on the top of the blocks had almost worn away. Buying another set again this year. Top quality tire for a good price. (£70)

Had these tires on the Wife's Aygo every winter since the big freeze of 2010.

They have paid for themselves that first winter, I was one of the few able to get to work during the heavy snow.

Fantastic grip in the wet or dry in the winter months, braking is incredible in the snow and ice and also wet. Left the car parked on an extremely steep hill in the snow, performed a hill start with no problems.

Road noise more than the Continental ecocontact3's but the ride is far better, I assume due to the more flexible sidewalls and also the rubber content.

Extremely good tires

Wear is impressive my wife drove with them on until early summer without any noticeable wear or handling/braking deficencies.

Excellent tire for winter. I had it all year long. At the beginning i thought that in summer i would had problems. Finally i used them and configured that only if i push them the dry handling was low. The wet handling/braking in summer is quite good. No comments for winter use. A bit noisy in summer depending on the tarmac quality. The wear was impressively low for a soft tire and with summer use (with temperatures up to 40 degrees). I drove about 30.000km up to now and it seems to go for another 10.000km.
Highly reccomended.!!

The best WINTER tire money can buy!

Despite this is my first winter tires I`m completely happy with it. The grip is so good I leave all the other drivers with the summer tires at the line(in the snow).
Many times I had to stop on a steep hill(in the deep snow) and start from there and without any effort it just has a grip and go. This is so good in the snow as if I were on the dry road with the summer tires, unbelievable! I`m happy I bought it before the first snow arrived.
Surprisingly quiet if not quieter than my ContiEcoContact3 summer tire.
The rubber is so soft I can squeeze it with my fingers, a lot better than the hardened summer tire in the cold. Definitely worth to buy winter tires.
The fuel consumption hasn`t changed remained the same as with the summer tires.
The new tire`s thread depth is 7,5-8mm.

Excellent on snow and ice, moderate performance at temperature above 10 degree C.

A lot better than the previous Michelin Energy Saver. Quieter, the ride is not as firm and has better grip in all conditions.
