I don't know how will they last or keep their performance in coming years but initially they perform and feel like a true premium winter tyre. Most mid grade or budget winters does well in snow and ice conditions (MP93 is no exception, especially amazing in terms of lateral snow grip) but this one excels in wet and dry conditions as well. Steering feel and road feedback is surprisingly good for a thick sidewall snow tyre, very strong cold try tarmac grip, they just grip and go. They also give confidence on wet, there is no unusual reaction even in sudden movements or braking. The sidewall of the tire is a little too stiff, which is probably why the steering is sharp and sensitive despite of the relatively large sidewall (205/60R16).. For the price, they are simply amazing, strongly recommended.

Tyres are ideal for everyday using in cities or motorway too. Pleasant handling and feedback, quite, good ride at all types roads ( wet, dry, ice ) .Comfortable ride because material of tyres is not hard. Problably for use 2 or 3 winter season ( or 25000km) We will see....

I decided to go for cheaper but good tyres as this Astra became my second car and I'm not putting much miles on it anymore. As we know this segment of tyres can be hit or miss but no regrets so far. I can't really say much on comfort as 215/60R16 is comfortable and not sporty size regardless of tyre model :)

It is a relatively cheap winter tyre but its perfect for people who just want to be safe in those colder months. It is no means a performance tyre so dont expect much but it does its job.
