1999 Volvo C70 Tires

I bought a pair of these for my car just before winter of 2021. They've been on for a couple thousand miles now and honestly for the price these are probably the best winter tires you can get. My car came with a terrible feature from the factory where if it senses any wheelslip it will cut all power to the wheels. It ends up being a particular problem when going uphill. Anyway, this past season I hadnt experienced nearly any uphill slips which is a pretty good testament to this tire's grip in the snow and ice. Now its spring and for the few warm and dry days there have been, these tires grip well enough. They certainly aren't a track tire and can't take much lateral load before giving out, but hey it's cheap- what do you expect. One minor mishap I had right before winter hit was that I hit a pothole doing 15-20mph and blew out the sidewall, rendering the tire useless. I'm not sure if it was because of the tire or the weather or the pot hole, but I did have to shell out another ~$100 for a new one. Even with that mishap, I'll still probably get these in the future if I need a winter tire.
