These tyres have transformed my car! I had cheap Chinese tyres on before and was losing grip in light summer showers. I drove on these through fairly heavy snow for 140 miles last week and had no problems. My traction light didn’t even come on once. Encountered many cars stuck, or spinning their wheels at junctions. Despite being rwd these tyres got me home safely.

I now feel that the car goes exactly where I point it rather than vaguely where I point it. It now uses slightly more power from the battery ( it is an electric car). However, that is a fair exchange. I got 33,000 miles out of my last tyres so it will be interesting to see how many miles I get from the Michelins.
