This is my first ever set of all-season M+S tires with 3PMSF rating. Looking at their pretty aggressive tread, I thought they would be pretty noisy. But it promised good grip in snow and rain, and that was a deal-maker for me. Gotta admit, I was wrong. These tires are quiet and comfortable. As for performance, they handle nicely on icy, snowy, dry, wet, and puddled roads.
