Great snow and ice grip, much better than any winter tire i had before.
Good durability as well. Dry grip is fine, wet grip not as much and must be kept in mind. Not very noisy for a winter tire either. Would buy again if they are on discount.

Winter tyres split into three different products: Central European tyres for wet, cold roads with occasional snow, Nordic friction tyres for persistent snow and ice, and studded tyres for hard ice. They are ranked separately because they are not interchangeable.
TR Score rates each tyre out of 10 using independent test results and the full body of owner reviews, weighted by how much evidence backs them. Tyres are only scored once enough data exists; discontinued tyres are not ranked but remain in the complete record below.

What is a Touring tyre?
Touring tyres are everyday tyres that put value, comfort and wear first. They give up some of the wet and dry performance of the premium options in exchange for a lower price.
Winter tyres use soft, high-silica compounds and heavy siping that keep working below roughly 7C, on snow and on ice. The category spans three different products - Central European, Nordic friction and studded tyres - built for different winters.
Professional tests of Winter Touring Tyres
Every published comparison test of this category we have indexed - 1 in total, newest first. Test results feed directly into the TR Scores above.

Winners are only named where a test crowned a single overall winner. Tests that rank tyres within groups, or test too small a field to compare brands, still count as evidence but name no winner here.
The Winter Touring Tyres owners rate highest
Rated purely by the people who drive on them, the top tyre in the category is the Accelera X Grip - 92% from 3 owner reviews. 106 tyres have enough reviews to qualify; this is the same ranking behind the category position shown on each tyre's own page.

What drivers say about Winter Touring Tyres
The most recent owner reviews from this category, in their own words.
Had better wet grip on bald summer tires. My fwd car will occasionally understeer in roundabouts when wet, even at slower speeds.
throwed them after few months, i dont think thise condoms are safe to drive, because of low grip.
10 years old, used michelin alpin still better than this piece of sht
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.
Since there are currently very few reviews available for these tyres, I thought I would share my first impressions.
So far, I have only driven approximately 100 km on these new tyres with my Audi e-tron 55. My initial impressions are based on driving on motorways, country roads and gravel roads, in dry to slightly wet conditions.
The tyres are surprisingly quiet and provide good steering response, even when taking sharp corners. So far, I have no negative experiences or concerns to report.
I'm looking forward to seeing how these tyres perform when winter arrives, especially on snow and ice!
Great budget tyre. Not so good on hot weather to much wear.
Had snowleopard for 4 yrs now and its performs well on canadian winter. I live in eastern canada where snow is harsh, for its price i was surprise by its performance in sbow and ice. 4yrs and its still good considering i never change tire even on summer
I've had this tyre as my winter set for a few seasons, across 2 cars (both the same size).
It is arguably the best snow tyre I've driven on when it comes to snow performance. It got me through some crazy snow slopes, even when others had 4x4s with much pricier tyres.
Everything else is lacking. On wet roads, I would even go as far as to call it dangerous. The dry road experience is mediocre, nothing to brag about or complain about. One thing to note is that it is quite a noisy tyre.
Durability is also quite good, with very low wear over the 4 seasons I had them on my 2 cars (and they were driven a lot on the highway too).
Overall, it's a perfect budget tyre if you drive a lot on snowy and icy roads. If you don't, and you mostly drive on wet roads in winter, look for something else.
Drove them one winter on really heavy snow in the moutains no problem at all the snow grip was really impresive even against some premium tires. I had no problems never got stuck even when i was trying to get stuck i saw many people with premium tires and same awd having trouble but not with this ones. The only problem is Wear I think if ur winter is mild and temp are high the tires will melt away. About to mount them for this winter to see did they change after 1 year.
Winter Touring Tyres EU label data
199 of the 417 tyres in this category carry EU label data. These are the category's label headliners, using each tyre's best available size figures.
A Best wet grip
6 tyres reach EU wet grip class A. The highest scoring:
B Lowest rolling resistance
The most fuel efficient choice: 29 tyres reach rolling resistance class B. The highest scoring:
67dB Quietest tyres
The quietest tyres in this category are labelled from 67 dB external noise:
Label values come from the EU EPREL database and vary by size - the figures here are each tyre's best declared size. Wet grip and rolling resistance run from class A (best) to E; noise is the measured drive-by figure. A good label is a floor, not a verdict: the tests and rankings above tell you far more.

Where this data comes from
Rankings combine independent test results with owner reviews submitted through this site, each naming the car, the tyre, the size and the distance covered. Reviews are checked by hand before publication, and the page rebuilds automatically as new evidence arrives.
About the TR Score
The Tyre Reviews Score rates each tyre out of 10 using independent test results and the full body of owner reviews, weighted by how much evidence backs them.
Who does the testing
Every test published as a Tyre Reviews test is run by Jonathan Benson, who has been testing tyres independently since 2007.
