What owners say

No road-test results yet, so every score here comes from owner reviews found online.

How scores work

Relative score: 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
Road tests: 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
Owner reviews: 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.

What owners like and dislike

Themes extracted from 4 owner reviews found online.

Pros

Exceptional traction and braking performance in snow conditions
Surprisingly quiet and stable on dry pavement
Strong grip during spirited driving on winding roads
Versatile performance that some users find suitable for year-round use

Cons

Poor resistance to aquaplaning in wet conditions
Short tread life compared to premium competitors
Negative impact on fuel consumption
Inadequate performance in deep mud

Worth knowing

Users noted a significant disparity in tread longevity, with some reporting premature wear at 30,000 km compared to expectations of 60,000+ km.
The tire is perceived as a viable alternative to summer-biased tires for drivers in regions with mild winters, provided they prioritize dry-road comfort.
