    Given 89% while driving a Vauxhall Corsa (155/80 R13) on mostly country roads for 3,000 average miles
    First time i have purchased BFG's, i believe that these winter tyres are the best in their category. Ive been driving them up and down hills in snow and sometimes ice with no problem what so ever. Grip is fantastic taking into consideration i have no traction control on my vehicle. The only downside that i can think of is that if you drive them on temperatures above 6 degrees celsius they make the rife wobbly however this is expected as these are winter tyres that are intended for snowy conditions in temperatures below freezing.

    Given 97% while driving a Volkswagen Golf 6 GTI (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 7,000 average miles
    First season on them, they are absolutely amazing. I believe that this is the best investment ever - great value for money. Phenomenal grip in snow and ice, an absolutely amazing winter tyre, ive been driving them on steep roads in snowy conditions with ease, ive had many other tyres previously - some of which were more expensive i find that these tyres even outperform some high end brands in proper winter conditions.

    Given 71% while driving a Subaru Impreza GX AWD (205/50 R16) on a combination of roads for 2,000 spirited miles
    Had them for one winter as I've sold the car with them (05 Impreza 2.0i). Tested on a winter track day, street fun during snow storm and dry roads.
    Overall the tyre is confortable above everything, it has very soft sidewall, grips very well in wet, snow, slush and ok on dry, but could not call it good. Actually, grip was ok, had to pull the handbrake to initiate slides on snow, but on dry it was too soft and would not send much feedback. Braking was ok, so I think it has to do with the soft sides that handling was not that good.
    So, if you take it easy on the corners if dry, this is the perfect tyre. Same confort and snow/wet grip as premium tyres, but on a budget.

    Given 69% while driving a Fiat Bravo (205/55 R16 H) on mostly motorways for 60,000 easy going miles
    After 60k miles, they seem to have another 60k ahead. Fantastic - the more that half of those were summer miles (I didn't change tyres last year). All other parameters are average but they have the lowest cost/mile ratio around, hands down.

    I just drove over 300 km in full snow and -8 degrees; very good grips in snow and spectacular performance in flaccidity. I had some emotions regarding an uphill but everything was perfect. I recommend the acquisition for any type of car.

    Given 60% while driving a Renault Clio II 1.2 16v (185/55 R15) on mostly town for 25,000 easy going miles
    After 4,5 years of gentle town usage (no hard breaking) and minor car crash,tires went totally deformed and unusable so I wont buy them again for sure.All in all not bad tires but too expensive here and wears fast.

    Given 99% while driving a SEAT Cordoba Vario TDI Estate (225/45 R17) on mostly country roads for 6,000 spirited miles
    Very good tyre would recommend, using 195x50x15 on SEAT Cordoba TDI Estate. Excellent grip in cold and wet weather. The tread does not look like a traditional snow tread, just like any other modern tread pattern. Tyres feel safe at all times, and gives you more confidence on early morning cold and wet commuting. My 40 mile commute to work is mainly on rural fast roads fairly fast driving and have not let loose once. Displace water extremely well, almost no aqua planing through standing water. Already done about 6k on them no signs of visible wear, even on the shoulders of the front tyres. Would definately buy again. No snow this year yet, so no comments yet about grip in snow.

    They have a good grip on the road but they are noisy and after one season they deteriorated.

    Given 93% while driving a BMW (205/55 R16 H) on a combination of roads for 10,000 spirited miles
    Good tyres, on my rear wheel drive BMW E46 320d, no signs of wear, good grip in both dry and wet, and made the difference in the snow from being stranded to being able to stay mobile. As my 100 mile daily trip to work and back is done early in the morning and late in the evening I felt safer in the low to freezing temperatures knowing that the tyres are designed to operate below 7C. Will buy again in a few years, as having to sets of rims means easy change over for me and tyres last longer.

    I had these on my old Mondeo MK1. Best winter tires I've ever owned!
    There was no situation that my car couldn't handle, no matter if it was city or mountain snow!
    I'll be sure to buy them again for my Mondeo MK3!
