This past Winter was not really trying. We missed most of the inland snow when we stayed on the coast during last year's dump. Wear is good even though they are more aggressive than the Continentals. They go well on unpaved roads even when wet with less slippage and tread packing. I bought mine online and had the local Schwab mount and balance them. I have been going to same store since the early 90's and know most of the staff. There is one store closer to me, but they don't have the knowledge or skills of this established store.
