Le avevo 4 stagioni sulla Fiat punto del 2008, la mia prima auto.

Mi sono trovato molto bene, l'ho tenuta dal 2019 al 2022, sono andato anche sulla neve in montagna, in nevicata piena, e ho avuto zero problemi.

Pros: Mi sono trovato bene

Cons: Poi ho grippato

Vehicle: Fiat Punto

Mileage: 75000 km

Avute per 4 anni su una c3. Uso misto, in ordine: collina, citt\u00e0, autostrada a velocit\u00e0 sostenuta.

In inverno nevica poco da me, ma le abbiamo testate un paio di settimane fa (vecchie di 4 anni) e siamo usciti senza problemi dal vialetto sterrato e innevato.

Pros: si sono comportate bene

Vehicle: Citroen C3

I got new Barums for this winter and they’re doing absolutely fine (also on a Golf). Recently done 110 on snowed highway while everyone else was in the right lane doing like 80 and they felt perfectly stable. On wet road they also seem to do well.

Pros: perfectly stable, do well

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

second winter with my mk8 as well over on the east coast. the frequent issue I run into is my front assist being unavailable from snow / ice. Otherwise I find it very smooth in the winter, I almost prefer winter driving as opposed to spring-fall. my car drives better on my 17" winters than my 19" oem wheels.

Pros: very smooth in winter

Cons: front assist unavailable

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

Two things:

1. That is a straight MOT failure because it's dangerous.

2. Your choice is to replace the tyre today, or the wheel **and** the tyre tomorrow.

Cons: straight MOT failure

Vehicle: Volkswagen
