I bought 4 of these tyres this winter, which were recently produced according to the DOT code. However I'm seriously disappointed with their wet grip, they start spinning too quickly when accelerating or in sharp corners. They also understeer quickly in fast corners on the dry. We just had 2cm of snow and these tyres couldn't cope with that at all, zero traction, almost impossible to accelerate or steer on a tiny layer of snow. I've had summer tyres which were better in the snow than these "Winter Tyres" from Continental!

Great Winter Tire!
