A perfect tyre for 100% snow conditions with driving speeds up to 80-100kph. Lousy in most other winter conditions (slush, wet, dry). Ultra quiet. Increased fuel consumption by 0.8-1l/100km but to be expected. Extremely soft (too soft) for my liking. Although typical for a good snow tire I had to add 0.3-0.4bar per tyre and still not there. Highly progressive. No FR protection. Road feedback excessive and annoying above 80/100kph. Perfect tire for snow conditions and driving around skiing resorts. I will keep it as a second set of tires but only when I go skiing. Otherwise for regular city commute as well as driving on motorways, expressways and highways not my preference at all as highly unstable in dynamic conditions e,g. when lane changing
