When I first got the tyres they seemed to be a little soft. There was a slight delay on the steering input. Either the tyres have become a little stiffer with use or I don't notice it anymore. The winter has been mild but I did encounter snow falling snow and a light layer of snow driving home one evening. There was no lose of traction and the car was we'll behaved at all times. I have been surprised many times stepping out of the car onto an icy car park and realising how slippery the conditions where. The car only broke grip once on an untreated road. It broke grip on all four wheels but it quickly recovered. Winter tyres don't make you invulnerable but for a rear wheel drive BMW they do provide better traction in winter. Winter tyres are not summer sport tyres. They cannot take the same amount of power as the summer tyres. I can feel some flex if to much power is applied but you really shouldn't drive near full throttle in winter. However they are much quieter than the summer tyres and provide a more comfortable ride. Anyone who buys these tyres would need to set their expectations according. It still debatable if you need winters tyres in the UK. However on the winter days when you get stuck and have no traction you will be sorry you do not have them.

I do agree with all comments about the Goodyear UG Performance G1 tyres. They provide an excellent grip. I have done quite a lot of miles on them and I am surprised by their overall performance. They prevent my car from skidding even in the most demanding weather conditions. It feels like my vehicle was sticked to the road. It is an outstanding feeling. Furthermore, I think that their price is quite reasonable.

In my opinion, I made a very good choice. On a wet surface the car behaved very well. Too little snowfall this winter does not allow me to assess driving in these conditions. I would recommend.

During a short tire are quiet, very well suppress, good behavior on the surface, both wet and dry-behaves almost like a summer tire. The snow had not yet tested, waiting for the first snow, but I think it will be fine. I highly recommend this tire.

After changing tires the car on the highway stopped dealing confident and precyzjnie. I was sure that this can some suspension components, but the car went through a full overview, diagnostic path and at my request additional geometry setting (which was standard). Unfortunately, it turned out to be a wine tires. When it comes to assessing driving in snow and slush that this winter I did not have the possibility to check the tires.

Tires bought as this year's novelty. For dry they are ok, but he's not the case in the tire. The rain behaved longer on average, and when the rain really had much to slow down. As the novelty is rather a medium level, there is no tragedy, but also the lack of great behavior. I have not tested the snow because it has not been, but last winter showed that in the city there was not snow much, so tire for driving on a black city, at best average. Goodyear promotion of free assiastane very poor, you have to give a lot of sensitive personal data, I preferred not to serve. He was also a problem in the workshop, a very hard tire, extremely hard to install, place the valves on both sides, unless some version of the Englishman ??. It's hard to balance.
