Last winter I drove from UK back to camp in Germany. In germany we have a lot more snow... and winter tyres are a common site on cars.
The journey i did is over 400miles. When i got back their was 3-4 foot of snow, and similar all across europe. The ICE TOURING Tyres were fantastic, the grip and confidence they give is well worth the cost outlay. ive covered about 3000miles on these tyres in snow and ice.
This year I have refitted the same tyres as they are NOT worn out. I would recommend to everyone to use these or any winter tyres. My father was so impressed he has now got these on his car.
Anyone that tells you that winter tyres dont work and are a waste of money< you can be sure they have never used them.. Why would it be LAW in Austria, latvia, Finland, Sweden and now Germany, if they did not work?

Fitted a set of 4 to my rear wheel driver V6 Omega. Previously to these I had a set of 4 Michelin PS2's which last for around 21000 miles. I replaced with the Primacy HP's as it was all they had in stock. Whilst the ride was very slightly more comfortable I did lose some grip. That said, I drive my cars very hard and to the average driver you probably wouldn't notice. The grip, however, was still very good and these lasted a bit longer - around 24000 miles all round.

I put these on an Omega which previously was lethal in the wet. After I fitted these it would drive like it was on rails, wet or dry - highly recommended.

A good performance tyre with a great tread pattern which helps stability these were great replacements for the awful Yokos that I bought the car with.

Perhaps these are better suited to RWD cars. I'm on my 2nd set on a large saloon car and find them quite good. They are, after all, a "budget tyre" but seem to handle well. Perhaps geometry setup plays a big part too as I have recently changed the track rod ends for an MOT and the handling is slightly worse than it was before. Needs another full setup to give a fair comparison though. I found them quite capable in the snow/ice as long as consideration was given to the conditions.

So that is what the noise was. 32,000 miles in my rear wheel Omega and now these tyres need changing. Paid too much for them in the first place. Toyo or Yokohama only ?10 more per corner.
Here is how it went;
0 to 20,000 miles only took 3 months in Feb to May. Motorway & dual carriageways wet and dry. Excellent response, even on wet roundabouts in this rear wheel.
20,000 to 30,000 miles in Jun & Jul not so good in wet roads. Wheelspinning this TD car accelerating was not logical, it never wheelspins. Dry roads not too bad.
Now over 30,000 miles, these tyres are shot. Take care in all corners, dry and straight you still get grip. Wears on outside edges first, looks over worn before their time.
Time to get shot of these. May try something closer to premium rather than this budget mid range. Garage was surprised I got over 32k out of the Sunny's in 6 months.

When I got the car it had Nexen all round and had done say 10,000 miles - I got another 10,000 out of the fronts and the backs have now done an additional 20,000. The Dry grip is good and tyres are responsive if a little harsh on ride. THE PROBLEM is that in the wet they were awful. Fronts would break away on damp roads at cornering (even low speeds) and backs spin on damp etc when pulling away. Mileage was very impressive but the wet weather performance has put me off buying again. Nice looking tyre on the car though !!!!

Generaly the rubber compound is to hard, after time a glaze can be seen across the surface of the tread which reduces the grip significantly.
Not a nice tyre on this vehicle.

I really liked these tyres at first, but found as they begain to wear they would tramline, which became very bad towards replacement. I found that they wore faster than my previous maxxis tyres, with the road holding being very good, but with the tendancy to grab the white line. I would not purchase them again, as I found the white line grab so pronounced that I was pleased when they needed replacement. Driving very poor roads in North of Scotland quite vigourously found they wore out quickly compared with other brands. I have a second car a citroen c6 2.7 HDI which again is a heavy car and am finding the same as with my vauxhall omega.
