Fitted these after WS70.
Same feedback, same comfort, same security - gripped and gripped and gripped on slush, snow, were happy on ice too.
Quiet, but squishy on wet.
Lasted for 9 years on same rims, but different cars with very low mileage.
Sold with ~4-5 mm still left.

Extremely satisfied. Have it on both of my Scion XDs. I cant describe how good were they on the snowy Connecticut hills. Cars were stuck right and left, but I was going. Even after complete stop, going uphill in the snow storm. In the Scion XD, for Gods sake!! Same thing on the wet road- very good. Cant say much about "handling", "road feedback" or "comfort" - to be able to say something about it, you gotta be a specialist in it. By the time I can say something, I, usually, forget how it was on the "other" tires. So I'll stay quiet on that. But, if you are to drive in the snow - those are, so far, the best I have ever had. And I put those 50 000 miles without bothering to take em off for a summer. Drove whole year round. They lasted for, like, four years. Don't even remember for sure.

The best winter tires I've used to date. Used for three winters for traveling around the northern US (33,000 miles total), on a Subaru SJ Forester (2018). In this time, there was never any situation where the vehicle was unable to climb an icy hill, or traverse deep snow. The car has been buried in deep snow, past the subframe, and has always crawled right out with little drama. Tread wear has been very even, and after 33,000 miles tread depth is ~6/32 (these were rotated every 4,000 miles, with pressure religiously maintained at the manufacturer's spec of 30 psi front/ 29 rear. Noticeably noisier than the OEM all-season tire, as expected. Very small penalty to fuel mileage, ~5%.
