These are the first winter tyres mounted on my car so I can't compare them to any other winter tyres, but compared to Continental Premium Contact 6 summer tyres, these are softer and quite loud.
Grip in the dry is very good. They also handle very well on unpaved roads.
In wet weather they sometimes tend to slip, especially when it's cold outside.
So far, I didn't have the opportunity to test them in snow or icy conditions.
All in all, these are good tyres, but they are not as premium as their price suggests.

I have run these tyres all year round on a Nissan Terrano and they have been excellent. The vehicle is mainly based in the Alps with one or two annual runs back home. Excellent in rain and snow. Good general grip and long lasting. Reconmended
