Amazing difference from the stock Cooper tires in snow

So far they're great. I'm very happy with them. It's no problem starting from a hill pulling out onto another road when snow/slush is a problem. I would definitely buy them again.

tires mounted on alloy wheels but needed 4 ft cheater bar on breaker bar to loosen lug nuts.

I purchased these for potential snowy conditions in upstate NY. To date, there has been very little snow and have been unable to determine how they would handle in these conditions.

Quiet tires , great ride, confident in bad weather feel the grip starting out and braking.

Great tires! I just drove to Canada and back, and there was some serious lake effect snow up by pulaski. My CRV did very well, and I was confident the entire ride. Breaking distances were tremendously improved from the all seasons that were on from the factory. The only thing I think that needs improving is deep snow traction. I noticed once the snow was around 4-6 inches it started to become a little more unstable at higher speeds. Which in theory is to be expected, but I just wish it was a little better. The ride off snow is also quite good. You lose some of the stiffness of a an all seasons, but it's still almost as responsive. This is probably where the trade off is for deep snow traction. I know there are tires with better deep snow traction but you get more road noise usually. I live in upstate NY and sometimes there isn't snow on the ground so I like To me, this is good compromise between performance and ride quality and I would recommend them.

Not enough experience to answer all questions

Great tire I did all wheels and immediately .noticed the difference in stopping distance and ease of starting up with no tire spin on slippery road surfaces.

Too new to know about treadwear. Otherwise, and excellent tire by Michelin

50+ years in Upstate NY winters and I'm sick of slippin and slidin on the roads at all hours of the day and night and now that I've got these tires - its not happening anymore! I'm in love with my car and these tires are a perfect "10" - worth every stinkin penny I spent on them! My car rides smoothly, no noise at all like you usually have from snow tires, and the best part - we had an ice storm the day after I put these on and there were cars off the road everywhere and I glided right through like it was nothing. A couple weeks ago we had one of those inch to two inches an hour snowstorms and the roads were a mess and driving at night took twice the time to get home from work as usual because visibility was zero-another night with cars off the road everywhere. My car handled great-just like I wanted. My confidence in driving through all kinds of weather has been restored and I'm recommending these tires (and my car type) to anyone who lives and drives in horrible road conditions.
