Pros: handles great on snow

Le avevo 4 stagioni sulla Fiat punto del 2008, la mia prima auto.
Mi sono trovato molto bene, l'ho tenuta dal 2019 al 2022, sono andato anche sulla neve in montagna, in nevicata piena, e ho avuto zero problemi.
Pros: Mi sono trovato bene
Cons: Poi ho grippato
Vehicle:
Fiat Punto
Mileage: 75000 km
Avute per 4 anni su una c3. Uso misto, in ordine: collina, citt\u00e0, autostrada a velocit\u00e0 sostenuta.
In inverno nevica poco da me, ma le abbiamo testate un paio di settimane fa (vecchie di 4 anni) e siamo usciti senza problemi dal vialetto sterrato e innevato.
Pros: si sono comportate bene
Vehicle:
Citroen C3
I got new Barums for this winter and they’re doing absolutely fine (also on a Golf). Recently done 110 on snowed highway while everyone else was in the right lane doing like 80 and they felt perfectly stable. On wet road they also seem to do well.
Pros: perfectly stable, do well
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
second winter with my mk8 as well over on the east coast. the frequent issue I run into is my front assist being unavailable from snow / ice. Otherwise I find it very smooth in the winter, I almost prefer winter driving as opposed to spring-fall. my car drives better on my 17" winters than my 19" oem wheels.
Pros: very smooth in winter
Cons: front assist unavailable
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Sad sam stavio sve 4 nove Barumke, i prijatno sam se iznenadio kako su mek\u0161e i to\u0161e od Klebera.
Pros: mek\u0161e i to\u0161e
I had a front wheel drive VW Golf GTI with an ECU tune. My front tires lasted about 25k km.
Cons: tires lasted 25k km
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Mileage: 25000 km

Pros: ist noch ok
Cons: Beule wirft
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Lupo
Fanno cagare a spruzzo. Avute delle estive di quella marca e w gesu sul bagnato sembrava di guidare sul ghiaccio.
Cons: sul bagnato sembrava ghiaccio
Two things:
1. That is a straight MOT failure because it's dangerous.
2. Your choice is to replace the tyre today, or the wheel **and** the tyre tomorrow.
Cons: straight MOT failure
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
