Snow traction is the clearest positive for the Momo North Pole W2, praised by three of seven owners, while two also favour dry grip. Tread life is the main concern, with three complaints, including a mid-life account of fast wear outside snowy conditions. Noise is more often acceptable than criticised, at two favourable comments against one negative. The 65.7% average combines five positive reviews with one neutral and one below 40%, so the overall score masks varied experiences. There are no end-of-life reviews or follow-up posts from the same owners to establish a shared ageing pattern, and isolated wet, ice and comfort comments offer limited agreement.

live in northeast Canada. Extremely hilly and our winters are about 5 months long. Snowfall is quite heavy here (probably worse than any state in the US)
I have these on the front axle of my rwd car. they have good lateral grip, can't say about grip underload since I use different tires in the rear.
Wear is pretty bad outside of snowy conditions, much worse than the Starfire winters I had on my older car.
Comfort ok. Noise ok. Performance pretty decent, to be honest I have more fun driving my car in the winter than i do in the summer, partly because i have much better winters than i do summers
I'm using these tyres for the second season now, I've used them in Austria in heavy snow and the grip was perfect. Fuel economy is great with these tyres. (Summer tyres: 6.5 liter / 100km, Momo 7 liter / 100km). I'd buy again.

I was a little confused about the production in China. On the tire itself, there was a notation that the compound was soft, but indeed, when braking, etc., you can feel it with the feeling of the braking distance and braking. We purchased, but "road noise" which we saw in opinion of other people was level that we did not mind at all. The wet performance & fuel economy in the notation of the tire is not praised, but ・ ・ ・ conversely it ’s just that grip. However, since it is just recently installed, we can not approve the overall evaluation It will be helpful if you can acknowledge it 住 I live in a heavy snow area This year is unusual for this year There is little temperature / snowfall It is not possible to complete evaluation Please note.

I was a bit afraid of this budget tyre but having used it for one winter season I don't regret it at all. Driven about 15.000kms mostly on European highways and country roads, sometimes in deep snow, I had no issues. At the limits it makes a smooth transition into a slide. The only negative thing is that they are a bit noisier than I was hoping for, but hey, this is a winter tread after all. After this season, the driven front tyres had lost 0.5mm of tread.
I wasn t sure about these tires before i bought them so i worried a little they wouldn t do a good job. I was mistaken. They are great on wet, snow, and on dry roards. Have them for 3 months already and i don`t regret it. Great performance/price ratio. I definitely recommand!
Hello from Canada! I've used these tires in our frigid white north for 3 years and just replaced them, if you're driving in -10c or below these are for you! They grip like velcro and they wear great running in snow and ice, on dry roads and warmer temperatures they wear fast...because it's a super soft compound. I've launched these 3 times in the summer at the drag strip and they grip better then nittos but wear like snot, probably could have gotten another winter from them!.
Have a great day and enjoy winter! Go play some hockey!
I had bought my MOMO northpoles brand new this year. I drive a standard pontiac g5. The front tires are completly worn out to the point where there is no tread left. Ive had different winter tires that have lasted me at least three seasons. To find that my tires are completly worn out after one season is completly disappointing.
