Just had a 6 inch snowstorm. Tires worked great.

These tires were put on our Mini Countryman. Snow is no match as they perform very well. Starting and stopping is very good on slippery roads. I also have a set on my Ram pickup and they perform super! I actually plow with them and have never gotten stuck.

ALL AROUND GOOD

Great tire for all winter driving. Great grip in slushy snow to dry powder. Northern MI driving, so it's worth getting a quality winter tire and this one checks all the boxes. Very low road noise and corners pretty well.

Good aggressive tires

Only a couple hundred miles on them a little noisy but traction in snow and ice is next level

2nd Set of these Tires

When our last set of these tires needed to be replaced I did not hesitate to get them again. They are a great price, do great in snow, aren't terribly loud and have good tread life.

Awesome tires

I have been buying General Artic tires for my cars and truck for over 12 years. Best tires to have in winter weather. Run them all year and they wear extremely well provided you rotate your tires.
