People who are experiencing their first winter, people who lack experience driving in winter conditions, or people who are going to be traveling are not the types of people I would recommend this rubber to. The tires are quite quiet, much more so than many other types of summer tires. Excellent control in snow as well as on dry and wet pavement. Con: Driving in snowfall and ice requires a high level of awareness and caution, which is especially important if the individual does not have experience with anti-emergency driving techniques. Rubber does not enjoy snow porridge. On roads that are foreign to you, you need to use an increased level of caution when there is ice.
