They are also homologated as winter tyres which means that you can use them in countries where you are legally obliged to run winter tyres during certain months. This is an issue for me since I drive down to ski most years, and if I'm driving through Austria, for example, this is a requirement. If you are only in the UK and never drive outside, then that isn't an issue - although if you live in Scotland then you may nevertheless appreciate the performance in snow!
Basically, they are very good in the rain, good in the snow and OK on dry roads, and they are about as good as you will get if you need tyres for all three conditions. With my previous car, I had separate winter and summer tyres, and it was a real pain having to store a set of tyres, plus the expense and inconvenience of getting them swapped twice a year. I'm much happier now with a single tyre (well, four of them) that I can trust in all conditions.
I can't really answer the question about their performance myself because I haven't yet really tried them out in extremis - even though I got the car 2 days before I went skiing and we drove down to Italy in it, the roads were clear and so I never got the opportunity to try it out on the snow. I have watched several YouTube videos, though, which showed impressive results. |
