I have bought several sets of these tyres for different cars over the years. 2 VW Golfs and a Skoda Fabia.
I live in a rural area with a lot of hills and when it snows it snows.
These tyres cope in even the worst weather conditions - ice, snow, slush, rain and I can’t recommend them enough.
Cars sliding and stranded everywhere and I breeze past them.
No slipping, no sliding. Just brilliant.

In the winter they're good, not excellent, but good. Enough grip in snow and rain. The performance reflects in the price, they not the best, but great value for money. The downside is in the dry or in the summer. There's no feedback, no grip and the tire simply melts if you want to take a corner faster. But ofcourse they're winter tires, so not meant to be used in hot conditions, and in the cold they're good. Probably I will buy them again because value for money and wear.

I have had 4 seperate winter tires on my car in the past. These would be my 5th winter season in Canada. I live in NB and winters can be wild at times and completely mild at other points. We experience 25 to 40 cm of snow falls in less then a few hours at times and these tires so far have been the best I've used. I've tried hankook, bridgestone, Rotalla, and Momo and these hands down give me more peice of mind then any if those other brands. They are loud in dry roads and have a very aggressive tread so they do wear on your feul economy but you will feel like a tank on the road in any condition.
