Tires are really good in the snow and wet conditions! I will buy them again, and would highly recommend them!
I drove these last year for my vw cc. I live in the snow belt of western NY. For a pirelli, im dissatisfied. It did great on dry and snow packed roads. But for ice and slush, forget about it. Floated right over slush every time, dangerously. Did not get any better traction on ice than all seasons either. After one season the tread was half gone. On hard packed snow areas its great, but not on ice or slush and the name has ice right in it so I expected otherwise. I will limp through this winter with them as I paid $175 each and want to get my moneys worth out, but cheap $100 Chinese snow tires do far better. You are only paying for a name.
Have been running these tires on a Corolla and a Honda Civic they are Excellent Winter tires they grip very well don't make a lot of noise and are smooth on highway. I would highly recommend these tires to anyone looking for snow tires that dont want to hear the typical loud tread of snow tires..
Good handling. Happy with purchase. Can't rate winter traction fairly at this point because pretty mild winter but on the days it's been wintery they've done great. Not at all disappointed with this purchase.
So far so good. Running these on my 2005 Subaru Legacy GT. They grip very well in both dry and wet conditions up to 60*F (I haven't driven these in higher temps). They work well in snow and ice as well. I took them out in 4-6" fresh snowfall and they ran great. They seem to grip really well on rough ice from run off water freeze over as well. Very happy overall. No info on treadlife as they are still newer.
Excellent grip on ice. Snow and wet road traction is good too. Dry road feel is better than I expected at highway speed. I haven't had a chance to fully test out dry road traction completely. My previous winter tires were Sottozero Serie 2 which had excellent dry road grip and feel but were not so good on ice and snow.
First time trying this tire and it is the best winter tire that we've ever bought. We had approximately an 8 inch snow this past weekend, followed by ice. My car went through the snow and ice. Only issue is some road noise, but I will take it all day long to feel safe on the road when bad weather comes.
These tires exceeded my expectations. I drove them on ice, compacted snow, and 3 inches of fresh snow this morning and clear highway and slush this afternoon. They offer amazing traction on all surfaces and felt very good on the highway with little noise. I think they may have a little less steering feel at highway speed than my previous winter tires (Pirelli Sottozero serie 2) but way more traction. The trade-off is definitely worth it for me. My 2014 WRX was an oversteering pig in the snow with the performance winter tires before but now it hooks up like a snow rally machine with these studless winter tires. SimpleTire.com offered excellent pricing but I was worried that I would get old stock. I was glad to see that the DOT date was mid 2016! The free shipping was fast too.
