Dry and snow grip is very good, but wet grip is very poor, especially on a climb (ESP immediately interferes) and on motorways. They didn't offer me that much of a confidence on wet because they start to loose grip very easy. In start they were acceptable quiet but while time was passing by, they started to be more and more nosier. Honestly I was disappointed because I was expecting more from this premium brand. I wouldn't recommend putting these tires on RWD vheicles. All in all, they are ok tires if you are looking only snow and dry easy going grip, but very expensive, you can buy better all round winter tires for less money.

Fitment comes from each tire's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
Dry and snow grip is very good, but wet grip is very poor, especially on a climb (ESP immediately interferes) and on motorways. They didn't offer me that much of a confidence on wet because they start to loose grip very easy. In start they were acceptable quiet but while time was passing by, they started to be more and more nosier. Honestly I was disappointed because I was expecting more from this premium brand.

It passed just 2500 km on them, after some time I will update my review.
Good grip on dry and wet, mostly on motorways. A little noisier on high speeds.
Didn't have problems on snow either, as car was RWD.
After two winters, tires was on half.
I would recommend them.
For front powered cars might be better .,. but for a Mercedes just don't do the job.
I recommend this tire.
In all other respects however, these tires are excellent and provide assured handling in both dry and wet conditions and offer high levels of confidence and comfort.
Having many years experience of using all the major tire manufacturer's products, I have to say that Goodyear appear to have cracked the nut with this one and achieved that genuine blend of performance + fuel efficiency which we all crave.
