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.
By owner reviews
75/100From 33 owner reviews analysed, scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70.

Pros
- Exceptional winter traction and snow/ice handling
- Low road noise and quiet ride
- Smooth and comfortable bump absorption
- Great value and competitive pricing relative to performance
- Confident wet-weather grip and hydroplaning resistance
Cons
- Slightly spongy or reduced dry pavement handling compared to ultra-high-performance tires
- Minor wheel spin from a dead stop on wet roads for some users
- Inherent all-weather performance tradeoffs between winter grip and dry responsiveness
Worth knowing
- Users driving all-wheel-drive sedans and crossovers (such as Subaru WRX and Subaru Outback) noted outstanding confidence and precise handling in both wet and snowy conditions.
- Owners living in heavy snow regions (like Vermont, New Hampshire, and Northern Minnesota) found these tires to be an effective, cost-saving alternative to swapping between dedicated summer and winter sets.
