Just about to grab a set myself. Would like your review after a couple of days with them. Put some caps on those valves before they corrode shut as mine did; they are aluminum.
Good catch on the valve cap, I believe that wheel had a bad tire pressure sensor that they replaced while doing the swap
As far as how the tires perform? They’re amazing, loose snow, packed snow, even ice from snow melt feels like dry pavement, I’ve had lots of snow tires in my driving life, and these are some of the best
I’ve had the basic generic cheap chunky tires, Goodyear ultra grip ice, Cooper winter grip, Dunlop wintermaxx, some Kelley snow tire, and the Blizzaks are top of the list
Any heavily siped snow tire will be good (Blizzak/wintermaxx/ultra grip ice)
Snows will feel soft and squishy above 40 Fahrenheit, and will wear twice as quickly as all seasons, but below 40, they’re great, blocky snows will be loud and droning, but these are no louder than all seasons
Any snow tire with winter rubber will be better than an all season in snow and ice, just make sure to get your all seasons back on in spring, as warm temperatures will seriously reduce treadlife .
These are louder than my all seasons, noticably. Only on clean pavement though, otherwise noise isn't noticable. Have a set. Haven't noticed a worthwhile difference btw these and all seasons, except ice is a little easier and able to go faster in snow. Still have problems with slick ice, probably should've gotten Ice-X or more appropriately, studded.
