Comment:
This is the best winter tyre I had in my life. I am comparing it to previously owned Polish Debica Frigo, Czech Barum Polaris, Firestone Winterhawk 2 and Continental-made Uniroyal MS Plus 6. This one wins in all categories. The traction and grip on dry is very good, as well as braking. I had to brake few times very hard from 100-120km/h to 0, and the ABS didn't have much to do. It is similar on wet. Also, there's not much noise when driving on wet. On snow - which we get a lot every year in Poland - it is fantastic. It has a lot of grip and traction in deep, loose snow (of course, I'm not talking about driving 100km/h in tight corners!), it's very predictable and gives you the safety feeling. For normal use, I would definately recommend it! Tyre wear is very good (I'm not a boy-racer anymore, so I do drive in a normal way meaning steady acceleration and braking), after those 25000km I still have 6mm on front and 7mm at the back. Great tyre!
