Having read a road tyre test, they came top in snow and a good allrounder in other areas, and after using them in all conditions, the test was accurate. I will be buying them again for sure.

First time of using these tyres but recommended by a more knowledgable friend and pleased that I took their advice. As good as the Standard Continetals that came with the car and well worth the money.

I use these tyres for driving to Austria and spending the season driving around various ski resorts. I have never needed snow chains over three winters. I also use them all year in the UK as with an annual mileage below 8K I find no need to change them. These are the V rated version for higher speeds with a stiffer sidewall.

Good rubber on snow and wet, too bad that lasts up to 2 years after they become hard!

England's wettist winter for years and these tyres deserve 5 stars for the way in which they brake grip the road and litteraly give great confidence of being glued to the road. Npo experoence of snow so put middle 3 stars but supsect that they will rate very high Great depth of tread and even though made in Russia - Oponeo and its support in getting them for Xmas was brilliant If there are winter tyres that are better in the wet than these I'd be very surprised - Great Value for amazing rubber that truly grips the road and brake and dispell massive amounts of standing water, even at high speeds Worth every penny Brillaint

Bought these winter tyres after researching on various websites and struggling in the snow the year before and I couldn't believe the difference. Absolutely fantastic. In fact I wish it had been a terrible winter so that I could used them longer. The lack of road noise was immediately obvious as soon as I drove away and far quieter than the Continental that they replaced.

So far, the tyre does the job completely. First snow without unpleasant surprises, full control over the car.

I found Nokian WR A3 on sale for 122 pounds - yet there was no snow at that moment. Running great,as if my car became lighter and had smaller rolling resistance.Also good on dry surface, When I was trying to enter into the streets to push for faster movements the car nearly aquaplaned , but Nokian WR A3 are the tyres dedicated to drive on the snow above all - will see how it works on the snow falls. My suggestion, as fitted on wheels that did not wobbled, grooves were just about wobbling the side and 5 cm in one of them, but did not influence the ride.
