Tyres bought in size 185/65 R15 for a car that drives basically only in the city. With virtually no winters, I see no need to use and keep two sets of tyres, hence the choice. The tyres are not cheap, but it is still a little cheaper than buying and keeping two sets of tyres for a car that does only about 10,000 km a year. And here they are most suitable. The car drives stably, they do not make any noise. Both on dry and wet pavement is fine. Purchased six months ago and driven in the temperature range +20 to -15. On warm days the car does not float, behaves the same as in the cold. The tyres as new have 8mm of tread. After the mileage of about 6000 km it is less than 0.5 mm on both axles, so they should last a long time, even if the summer will be very hot. I haven't noticed any difference in the car's combustion. The only thing that hurts me is that subjectively in snow, slush it performs worse than Debica Frigo 2 (yes I know tests on YT praise it, but I know my own) from which I switched, and let's agree it was a 2 year old winter tyre, almost with full tread and it is certainly not a premium tyre (costs a little more than 1/2 the price of Michelin Crossclimate). I'd choose them again though, because I'd rather use up a relatively large amount of one tyre in say 5 years and replace it again with a new one than throw away two sets of tyres with almost full tread because of old rubber, or worse still try to drive on aged tyres.... So if you do up to 10k a year and in city traffic, I highly recommend it. If you live in the mountains or do more mileage only 2 sets of tyres and that's how it will stay in my second car.

Tyres purchased in October 2015, a little noisier than good summer tyres but not a tragedy. In the wet and dry they perform well. When it comes to winter conditions it's a bit worse than on good winter tyres but with sensible driving the tyres can cope. This is a sensible purchase for people who drive mainly in the city. If the trend for mild winters continues, there is no point in buying two sets of tyres and paying to replace them. If you do a lot of touring, I would probably opt for two sets of tyres. I also don't know how the tyres will perform next winter.

I live in an area with rough, single track and frequently very wet roads and have found these tyres excellent although a little noisy on the infrequent smooth stretches. They feel very secure in heavy rain and perform well in snow.

I put this tire at the start of the winter season. This could be an interesting solution for years, especially for those with vehicles with pressure sensors. No need for seasonal change of tires / wheels is also no need to purchase a second set of pressure sensors and extend the life of the car kit. This winter season has been for Cross Climate successful because within one week experienced temperatures from -5 to +12 degrees. I feel sorry for those who rode the 12 winter tires.

I was disappointed on these tires in winter conditions. On compacted snow to zero braking problem driving off uphill, slush car behaves hesitantly. In general, I would not buy these tires for the second time. I did the test in the same conditions, I have a second car for zimowkach. Winter tires definitely are better. Tires for those drivers who drive very little in winter.

Tires have not traveled with me many kilometers, so fresh I can say that so far works very well. I look forward to the winter, to assess the tire's slush. Regards

In the rubric snow and slush I gave one, because I do not have opinion on the issue. As for the tires, for me simply a revelation. On dry and wet pavement at high elevations and sharp cornering grip it is surprisingly good. I feel safe riding on these tires. Of course, like the rest of colleagues waiting for winter to be able to then test it. I would recommend!
