Given 96% while driving a Volkswagen Golf Mk6 (195/65 R15 V) on a combination of roads for 15,000 average miles
Hello everyone

I got to my car, vw golf mk6 in dimension 195/65/15 Crossclimate.

I walked with them around 15,000 kilometers.

The tires were better than I expected.

They are comfortable and pretty quiet for the "V" design pattern.

Excellent lateral grip in the wet cornering.

Before I had two sets of tires, continental "PremiumContact 5" in summer and "TS830" in the winter ... in the same car in the same dimension 195/65/15

What I have noticed so far negative, it is that love turn into an empty wheel, a sudden start.

I attribute this "air design" pattern on the tires.

Then I noticed that during heavy braking earlier lights abs.

You could also say the same ... because if the friction surfaces are loosened ... not expect behavior such as racing "slick" tires.

Either way, we will see how it will be this winter, with snow in my town.

Nice greetings from Croatian

Bought these as a compromise to a full winter tyre and I wasn't disappointed. Dry and wet grip is fantastic, recently had the opportunity to test then in 3-4 inches of snow, it was no problem for these tyres. The biggest difference was the noise, there isn't any- well very little compared to the old Bridgestones that I had on the car. To early to comment on the wear. Would I buy them again? In a heartbeat!

Brilliant compromise for northern UK weather. Great in the wet, good in the dry and offer a level of smow/ice performance comparable to a full winter tyre. Only done 3k miles so can't comment too much on wear, but michelins usually have a good lifespan.

Given 94% while driving a Ford Mondeo Titanium 2.0 TCDI (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 1,800 average miles
Excelent tyre. Superb on wet and dry on par with my Primacy 3.
Snow traction is exeptional. We had about 70cm of snow in 5 days.
Passed with flying colours. Newer stoped even once. Not even in 30cm of fresh wet snow. For me and our climate in Bosnia perfect tyre.

Put four of these on in anticipation of the Winter. No snow or ice to test them thus far but lots and lots of rain! Have driven on all types of rubber in my 40+ years of driving and have to say that these tyres are in a league of their own in the wet and rival the grip of Pirelli P Zeros in the dry. All round I feel very safe with these tyres - very grippy in the wet and the dry and produce very little noise. Not yet tested in the snow but even without this experience I'd buy them again. They back up the marketing hype that launched them. Will report back on snow performance if the Winter throws any our way.

Given 91% while driving a Dacia Logan (180/65 R15 T) on a combination of roads for 2,000 spirited miles
they seem to pick up EVERY pebble on the road surface, be it tarmac or gravel. Some don't get away from the tread until very high speed is reached and when they do, well... a solid bang in the bodywork is what happens.

Otherwise, very good in the dry, exceptional in the wet, comfortable, low rolling resistance, translating both into low noise and good fuel consumption. Looking forward for some snow and ice.

Had a full set of these put on to a two year old Seat Leon two months ago replacing Bridgestone the car was fitted with as new.The difference made to winter weather handling is phenomenal. The last weekend's snow was a great test for them and they passed with flying colours. Great traction on fresh snow and slush. Very stable on ice.

Toyota Yaris (185/60 R15 H) on a combination of roads for 200 easy going miles
Not going to comment on the handling, roadholding or anything snow related as only driven them 100 miles or so in wet southern UK weather.

However I would say I also find them quiet. With that tread pattern I thought they would be noisier than my summer Dunlops they replaced. Also I agree with other people the quality of the noise seems more relaxing, perhaps it is lower pitched and easier on the ears? Going from one type of motorway tarmac to another makes less of a difference ( not tried on concrete yet on M25).

They do ride quite well also. They seem to behave like a summer tyre but not gone for a proper drive in them yet round B roads to see handling.

I bought these as live in SE England and never needed anything but summer tyres. Only got caught out twice in last 20 years. However we now have a dog and his woodland dog walks are now all down country B roads to get to, somewhere I wouldn't need to go normally. Crossclimates seemed to fit the summer and odd chance of snow brief. We shall see.

We have a pebble drive and the other person was right, they do pick up small pebbles!
