Not had these long but already they are much better than the Conties that they have replaced. From new the grip has improved on the Conties.

Just had to replace the rears after 25,000 miles, the fronts have perhaps another 5,000 remaining. I also have noticed that with about 2 - 2.5mm of tread left the tread blocks appear to be degrading severely at the edges.
Decent grip in both dry & wet, ok in snow but not great, nothing special in slippery conditions.

I have read good reviews from exiting Volvo owners - many refer to the use of these tyres in Scandinavia and elsewhere in Europe. Not so common in the UK - yet.
Much cheaper than the OEM Continentals.
A little more noisy than the Continentals.
Lasted longer than my Continentals - 22,000 miles so far, but now almost on the limit.
Not much grip in snow or on ice though.

These tyres are terrible at my car. The car is very unstable when I go beyond 60 km/h if there is any tracks in the road. I'll change thwm before next winter season, even if the are almost brand new.
