Some of the best winter tires I've used. I went from the very expensive Blizzak WS80's to these due to price and now I am on my 2nd set. I used them only for winter driving, but they do handle well in the dry and wet conditions that are normally rare in Michigan winter months. Whether it is snow, ice, slush, or anything in between these tires instill confidence. Even with my 400hp RWD sedan they have loads of takeoff traction and even more stopping traction. The road noise is noticable over the WS80 tires but worth the tradeoff.
