They liked 'em too. Hm. Better than Nokians, which I almost got last winter? I'm in an area where we get occasional ice & snow, but most of the winter the roads are dry. So e.g. the Gislaveds aren't a good answer for me -- great if you live in a super-snowy area, but not so good for dry roads. In fact I drove the car all last winter with the stock Aero tires, which *suck* on ice & snow, and only had troubles for about 4-5 days all winter. But that's pushing my luck, so I do need some kind of snow or all-season tire. I'm interested in noise, handling, and lifespan on dry roads, and good performance on snow, more than ultra-amazing performance in snow. Gary
