I love these tires on my Honda HRV. I keep traction and control during emergency maneuvers during NW Montana winter driving. Great on snow and ice. A touch noisy but I happily trade that for the better snow tire any day. I have had studded tires before and all weather's. These tires are my dedicated winter tires and have set the bar high. They are now the only snow tire I will purchase for future snow tire needs. The tread life is well worth the price of the tire as well,granted I don't put them on untill the weather sets in, or is due to come. I have no need for studs on my vehicle so these tires are perfect for my every day driving needs and long distance driving as well during winter.
