Initial review after getting fresh tyres today..I'm not sure if my comfortred tyres is the same as EU/USA as the design looks abit different.. Im getting this to compare to my previous lassa revolas, but even though it's a different size, i can immediately feel differences in terms of comfort and noise...I used to listen to my music at lvl 7 on the expressways. Now i can listen comfortable at lvl 6.. The noisiest stretches are still noisy but better.... I will update again when the tyres have worn in

What drivers say about their 195/60 R16 tyres
The most recent owner reviews fitted in this size, in their own words.
I have been very satisfied with these winter tyres so far, having driven around 20,000 miles on them.
They offer excellent performance in cold weather and are especially good in snow, providing dependable grip and control. I haven't had the chance to test them on ice yet, so I cannot comment on extreme icy conditions.
The tyre compound is noticeably soft, which contributes to a smooth and comfortable ride. They are surprisingly quiet on the road, with very low noise levels compared to standard winter options.
Compared to my previous Hankook winter tyres, I find these to be a clear improvement in terms of overall comfort and snow handling. My only slight uncertainty is their long-term durability and tread life, given how soft they are, but they have performed exceptionally well throughout the miles I've put on them so far.
Low cost tyre, but it latsted for so many km. Not sure if i buy them again.
Ideal tires for my car. I have them for fourth winter now and i think they will last me for at least two more. I drive a lot on highways. I feel safe with them on snowy or icy roads.
Low speed corners in wet conditions the outside tyre simply cannot handle it, high speed easy going corners on other tyres this ones simply loses grip and goes wide. Good thing is you can easily feel the limit although is a bit abrupt
This is a review comparing it to the summer tire Michelin Energy Saver that I used last time.
The vehicle installed is a late 2011 Toyota Wish 1.8S with a current mileage of approximately 270,000 km. The average annual mileage is approximately 22,000km, including 14,000km on summer tires.
Due to the snowy terrain, we used three types of tires: summer, all-weather, and studless. After use, they are cleaned, maintained, covered, and stored in a tire stocker in the garage.
In the summer (no snow season), it's summer tires ➔ In early winter (snowfall season - before the snow compaction road), it's all weather ➔ In the middle of winter (snow compaction road - icy road), it's studless ➔ In early spring (ice melting road - before the end of snowfall), it's open Ruler Weather➔In the summer Samataiya
Dry and wet grip: I felt that the grip of the Energy Saver had decreased after 40,000 km, but I felt that the grip of Primacy 4 was almost the same after 40,000 km as when I first started using it.
Tire wear rate: The mileage at which the slip sign appeared was 50,000 km for the Energy Saver and 55,000 km for the Primacy 4, which is 10% better.
Comfort: I felt that the Primacy 4 was superior in terms of comfort at the time of purchase, but after driving 50,000 km, I felt that both cars were noisy. Comfort seems to decrease in proportion to driving distance.
Repurchase: Currently, the plan is to repurchase Premacy 4 again. The reason is that the initial grip performance does not change for a long time, and it has high wear resistance and long life.

These Studded winter tyres from finish Nokia were rather quiet and I used them for about 4 vinters in both snowy and icy conditions with no bad experience.
The studs had completely worn out at the end of the tire's life, but the tread were still legal.
good tyre for all seasons. driving with no problem tempratures between -5c to 35c.
positive: nice and safe driving in cold tempratures with rain,light snow and dry road
negative:noisy
