This tyre is excellent for calm driving style in winter conditions. Either cold dry, rainy or snow-covered roads are no problem. Only when you try to push it, there might not be enough traction. No experience on ice so far. It is in the noisier side, as most winter tyres, especially during dry parking manouvers. You can get very good fuel economy out of it. Based on wear so far, I would think they last around 30-40 k kilometers.

Since this is new model of Uniroyal winter tyres at first I was skeptical since there was no tyre reviews about them on the internet, but at the end I have decided to give them a chance and I'm quite satisfied with them. They have great grip and they behave great on dry, wet and snow, I didn't have a chance to test them on ice. Can't say much about wear since I drove them for about 2000miles so time will show.

★★★★☆

New type of Uniroyal Tyre, after driving with them for a few hundred KM:
-Noisy at the start, but already getting better. They might need some time to settle/wear. Of course winter tyres are always noisier.
-Good grip dry and wet. Haven't seen any snow yet.
-Handling: Hard to say. 185/65/15 will always be a tyre with a more flexible sidewall. 18" in summer. So far the tires were fine cornering even at higher speeds and they feel predictable, have not experienced any loss of grip yet.
