Pros: Smooth ride, great on snow and ice.
Cons: A bit pricey

I scored these for my '00 Sport a few weeks before I went ahead and traded in on a '99 Eddie Bauer with AWD. I have gone years without snow tires (relying on Michelin All Seasons with good success). Ever since I became a parent in '04 I find myself considering someone else for a change....my son. I decided to get better tires for winter, "just in case".

Combined with the AWD, these tires stick to road like glue in all conditions. We've had several snows this summer and Calgary streets are notorious for ice in winter because of the incompetence of our city workers. I have always been a good winter driver and know how to drive to the conditions, but with these tires and the AWD, it's almost like cheating. Good braking in all conditions as well.

On drive payment, they're pretty smooth and almost feel like all-seasons. Pretty cushy ride in all conditions.

Great winter tire.
