Comments
I have been looking for the good winter tires for a long time and my feeling is that they are perfect for mud, snow, slush in the city and beyond. In the rain, I had the impression that I skid during turns in urban terrain. At highway the tire sticks to the pavement all the time. I believe that this is the best price / quality in the premium class.
