My front wheel drive with an open differential laughs at the same snow that symmetrical AWD gets stuck in. These tires are phenomenal on snow. Grip on wet pavement is the best I've had yet, and dry is just as good as any "all-season" I've run. Road noise is quiet, but sounds like tortured souls wailing from the void... if you can hear it. Different, kinda spooky, I like it. Only on dry pavement, of course. 12/10, I love these tires.

Put these on the rear of a 1972 VW Bug, they work great. I have an hour commute to work every day from Massachusetts into New Hampshire, which I have done several times in inches of snow, and have not had a slip or slide from these. Excellent in the snow and wet slush. I haven't noticed any extra road noise either. I plan on getting a set for the front now, too.

I bought these tires for RallyCross and they have performed better than expected. These tires provide great traction in the dry dirt and wet mud. These are the most aggressive DOT tire that I could find in my size.

Have all 4 wheels with snow tire's used 2 of them year round excellent wear put them on back and new ones on front, best snow tire for the money!
