Bought a set for my VW Polo 2016 for winter monts, and they are excellent tires. Grip si great in all kind of conditions from icy and snowy to sloshy to wet and dry. Consistant. They are confortable, and silent in dry. In wet there is little bit of winding noise above 50 mph, but nothing to extreme. This tires give me confidence and sense of security, so I am very pleased with them.

The grip and the price is very good, so I can recommend to everything.

Simply amazing tyres, inspire confidence during winter in an RWD car. They are quieter and feel better than my Toyo proxes CF2 summer tyres. Pricey, but worth the money for safety and confidence - would definately buy them again without hesitation.

Have them for two years, horrible in second year.High wear on the edges and weery poor grip on wet.Better than ug8 butt still would not buy again.
They were made in romania.

The grip is outstanding! I was able to climb 30deg hills on snowy unpaved roads. They never let me down. The only downside is that they wear very fast.

I just checked the mileage these tyres have done, I have run these for 28k miles which for a Winter tyre year round is exceptional.
I run them on a Toyota Avensis Estate with a 2.0td engine and I drive hard enough on rough country roads.
The fronts are at 3mm and the backs are at 1.6/1.7mm so just at the legal depth.
I see some evidence of the shoulders wearing but after 28k miles and some spirited cornering I would expect that with winter tyres as the sidewalls are softer than summer tyres.
In all I highly recommend these as good all rounders, yes in summer with air temps of 17-19 °C they lose a bit of crisp turn in but then you can't have it all.
I would buy these again as they have performed well for a high performance winter even in summer

I bought these tires end of december. One of the best tyre on the market, was really good at all weather conditions. I just drive for a season, will look after 2-3 seasons,I hope my opinion will be the same. I could it recommend.
Before I had low or medium costs tires, these are better, of course the price is also higher, but you get more safety on the roads and this factor is crutial for me.

I did not test these at snow yet. The only thing i can say is that these are amazing in wet!! Fantastic grip, tried to aquaplan but i couldn't. 220km/h in torrential rain, soft turns, with no aquaplaning!! Very good grip at dry roads with no very fast lane change cause of soft wallside. I recommend these for winter tires!

I used this tyre for the first time and i found it near excellent.Wet and dry grip is very good.Snow grip is fantastic even for a rear wheel drive car.It provides acceptable grip even on thin ice.I strongly recommend this tyre.

Excellent tyre, driven for a 3rd season. Very good grip both on dry and wet. Snow grip is near perfect. Good road feedback and progressivnes. Excellen wear ratio. Comfort is good but sidewalls are a little bit soft. Definitely would buy again!

The best ever winter tyre. It stops car in show, on golf mkvi 2.0 tdi aquaplaning is totally avoided. On same place were I cannot go with summer tyre more than 80kmh with this tyre i can go faster when raining.

Only what i don't like is sound which produces when driving higher then 50kmh and temp is more than 4C.

But on snow... it can what neither one can.

My winter tires before these were some Yokohama or something like that, which were OK first winter but after really really bad.

Till now I had summer tires from Toyo, Proxis something, these tires were bad from the first day, grip while accelerating was awful even on dry roads, and even worse on wet.

Aquaplaning on these Toyo's was dangerous, sliding car around, slowing it down and so...

They weren't noisy but when I tried Contintental TS 850 which are actually winter tires I felt like I've bought a new car.

- less power needed to accelerate (no idea how this actually is possible, must be a magic?)
- amazing grip on dry and wet (no snow yet here)
- difference in braking is incomparable, TS 850 stops just at the moment you hit the breaks
- oh my, driving these tires on wet roads is a heaven, amazing sound while speeding, no worry of skidding, sliding while hitting aquaplaning driving 100kmh on wet without any problem
- noise is really low, and wouldn't call that the noise as I enjoy the sound :D

Also I've noticed that I spent less gas compared to summer tires, again, magic?

I just love these tires that I would like to use them all year :D

RECOMMENDING it to anyone!
