On a moderate winter conditions this is the best tire I've driven ever, dry and wet, and little icy for ~20 K miles on them it was difficult for me to get these tires to the limit. Still look like brand new with 7mm tread depth.
However, this is not the proper tire to be driven in deep snow at low speed. Climbing a "white" road in a village in a mountains will not be an easy task while the car is fitted with them. It is intended for a sporty winter driving on the highway.

With the Octavia L & K I had to buy 15 inch rims to go with the above tyres; combined they provide the same rolling circumferance as the summer wheels. I've driven on my winter set in ice and snow, never had to use chains in the mountains and drove comfortably and safely on four skiing trips. Currently, ( 22/12/2009) I'm driving around our back roads in Suffolk where many others do not venture. These winter wheels are just brilliant. My local tyre agent changes the wheels around twice a year for free. Another thing, you have to use up rubber anyway so the only extra outlay is the rims!!

Bought these tyre 5 days ago, have driven on packed snow, thick slush,ice, and in the wet on the motorway. I am astounded at the performance. It is as if the road is dry all the time, turns my 2.0tdi skoda into a four whell drive car. Up hills ,down hills, outstanding. Should be made compulsory or at least lower the insurance as one is a lot safer.

Last year (Oct 2010) I was looking for a tyre that was good in winter weather and also in the summer weather.
I was shown the new Bridgestone A001 All season tyres.
The very helpful tyre dealer said it would be good in the winter weather as well as the summer weather.
We did discuss the option of changing tyres from summer tyres to winter tyres but as I am a little lazy couldnt be bothered with this and also the expence of having to buy a second set of wheels for the second set of tyres.
So I decided to go for the A001's.
What a good decsion this was.
As the winter weather drew in and the snow started I got to drive up and down the hills I live on with out any worry or concerns in any weather condition. I even moved the car with 9 inch's of snow on the road.
My previous tyres I have used were useless and wouldn't get me off the drive let alone up the hills if there was a dusting of snow.
I am now a convert to these tyres and explain to anyone willing to listen just how much of a difference they make in the winter weather, I was amazed that tyres could make such a difference.
I have just replaced the first pair and will be changing the others when they need to be replaced to the A001's and will be changing all of the tyres to these on my wife's car.
I used to use Michelin Pilot Primacy's (summer tyres) but the A001's grip as well in the summer conditions or rain as they did.
My only dissapointment with these tyres is the amount of miles I got out of the first pair.
I got 14,000 miles which was lower then the Michelin's although my freindly tyre dealer suggested transfering the tyres back to front every 5,000 miles will increase the tyre wear. He did also tell me that the other all season tyres wouldnt get to 14,000 miles and that 14,000 miles was very good for the A001's.
As you have probably gathered by now I would highly recommend these tyres.
