They worked perfectly well on dry roads. On snow and ice, horrible. Just an inch of snow was enough for the wheels to start spinning. On pure ice I always needed someone to push me to get the car into motion. Driving when it was around 0°C was a nightmare. Snow seemed to stick to the tire as if someone glued it on. Out of all the winter tyres I've had these were definitely the worst. Would not recommend for anyone at all.

Fabulous tire for its price. I started driving with them very cautiously, as they are a cheap option and I wasn't very sure in their capabilities. But I soon discovered what a great bargain they were: breaking distances are superb in both dry and cold, icy roads. Not very noisy either. They do tend to understeer though, so be ready to adjust the steering wheel slightly when cornering. Road feedback is decent, cornering is assured. Like most budget tires I guess they'll wear out sooner than more expensive options, but it doesn't mind me. Definitely recommend!
