Its the Winter performance. Not just snow but cold weather performance. The colder it gets the less these tires lock up in icy conditions. They may last a long time, and perhaps that rubber technology that allows for that, doesn't contribute to being a good Winter tire. I am not exaggerating it is hard to find tire shops willing to take these new tires on trade. They don't sell well here. During the Winter especially and you ask guys that have them, nearly everyone complains about them in the Winter. I had a set on a new 3500 SRW pickup last year. One loaded pull in tough weather and I pulled them off and put EXO Grapplers on. I will never see the mileage out of them that you would out of the Michelins, but staying on the road is more important than total mileage out of the tires.
