Comment:
Firstly, I cannot comment on what they are like in snow as where I live in the UK had one snowy day this winter. I look on winter tyres as like insurance: I pay for them but hope I never have to use them much. They did absolutely fine in the wet and sub-zero conditions which I did encounter and I felt safe having the right tyres for the conditions. This is not my first set of Contis and won't be my last.

Comment:
I bought the previous model tyres of Continental as I had to drive through Europe in winter to Germany where winter tyres are compulsory, even for visitors. My friends in Germany recommend and put these tyres on their cars. The ADAC tests keep putting them towards the top of their tests, so it seems a bit of a no brainer! Very sure-footed and stable, even when travelling at speed in adverse conditions.
