Ideal for urban winters in the southern regions. Every day I drive about 25 km in the city and the same amount on the highway. In all modes rubber behaves perfectly! Has some pros: Excellent, predictable handling on wet roads and slush. Asphalt with frost is also no problem. Very quiet and soft. Much quieter than my summer Dunlors. Well balanced. Adequate price. Has some cons: Not specifically identified. Worse, of course, on bare ice, but this is not a spike.
