This is the second set of these tires I have purchased. First set was on my sedan and got me through snow some trucks couldn't handle. My new set is on my new suv put on with snow already falling and had no problem getting up my dirt snow covered hill of a driveway.

I purchased a set of tires in January 2015 with steel rims (with a taller sidewall than the standard size of my 2011 Chevy Cruze). I've used this tire every winter for the past 8 winters. I can say this is a highly reliable tire. The increased tread will lead to increased road noise, but provides a smoother and more stable ride. These snow tires on my car turned it into a tank in the snow, being able to go boldly in any winter condition. The tires actually outlasted my car, I would recommend this tire.

I have never owned winter tires in my life. And last year I drove my Jetta with all seasons. I couldn't get any traction in winter. So I tried these tires and wow like driving on dry concrete. The grip is amazing. I got them studded as well. But grip is just crazy. Love them!!

I've used these tires for many years ( and the previous model).I trust their performance and durability. Minimal road noise, if a little tire hum bothers you don't get winter tires.

I put 2 on every year. I also run them year round. I live on a farm so I never know if I am going to be in mud or snow. Great tires for the price.

So far so good. Handle well fairly quiet good in the rain we experienced after purchase. Expect they will be good in the snow that is sure to come

I'll start with the good, and end with the bad. These tires are relatively quiet, especially for an aggressive tire. They also ride pretty well so I would say 4/5 on comfort. This brings me to the bad. These tires have terrible grip. The compound is extremely soft and I can feel the tires "rolling over" in every corner. I never once broke traction with my old tires, but I have slid through corners with these more than once, and I've only had them a couple weeks. I haven't even come close to pushing the car since I got the tires, it's hard enough to keep on the road driving carefully. They would probably be alright for an every day commute, but stay away if you plan to do any sort of "spirited driving".
