Love them.

An OK winter tire, but I would recommend having them studded. These are a high mileage tire, so compounds are not very soft. Great in the rain and resistance to hydroplaning. Where these tires really rate high is how many years you can get out of them. Even driving them hard, and sometimes daily over long distances, I got over 8 years of service (and still going strong). I finally sold the car with the tires, I swear with about 50% tread still left. So if you're looking for a reasonable winter tire that you could get 10+ years from, and a reasonable cost up front, not a bad choice.

Purchased second set of rims with these winter tires on the rims. Was very skeptical about these tires. I commute 150 km per day in Saskatchewan, and this winter has been very bad for icy highway conditions. I am very please with these tires. traction was excellent while traveling on very icy highways. Vehicle did not have any problem on pure ice conditions. Van stayed on the straight path all the time. I would recommend these tires as a very good winter tire.
