I mount Blizzaks during the winter so my winter driving assessment is somewhat hypothetical but these tires make my car feel like a 'sports car' on dry twisty roads....the car feels like it's on rails..
They are rated for 40K and will probably reach that easily.
If they make 50K I'd never buy anything else...

I have gone through a few different kinds of a/t tires and these tires have performed remarkably. I have a 2wd truck and had no problems In this Chicago snow. I would definitely recommend these tires to anyone.

This tire provides a soft, smooth ride with little noise and very good traction.

So these are my third set of Continentals having sworn off of Bridgestones and their miserable ride quality. The DWs when compared to the Contisports are a little down on dry grip. Not the end of the world as they give up grip in a very predictable and linear fashion unlike Bridgestone. Where these tires really seem to excel is in the wet, a huge benefit here in the North West. They ride soft, enough so that you'll find yourself checking tire pressures again, but they are awesome in their ability to soak up small imperfections. Overall terrific tires, cannot speak to longevity but they show little sings of wear in the first 1000 miles, and previous experience tells me that they will last fine.

This is my third set of tyres on my car. They replaced Michelin MXMV4s. They are amazing tires, though they do ride a bit firm. They are super quiet.

So far so good on the wifey's Murano. Did pretty well in the rain and is considerable less noisy than the previous set of Pirellis (probably because the tires are so new still). Have not really monitored the claimed MPG increase as there's a lot of factors that contribute to it. The ride is firm but not floaty and is responsive.

These tires are amazing. We took the factory Michelin's off because we had a bad tire and installed these. They now have 70,000 miles on them with 5/32's left. The tires have worn great, they are quiet, and they ride much better than the Michelin's ever did. When these wear out we will own buy the Serenity Plus.

Everything is positive about these tires. Quiet and responsive. No tread wear at 15,000 miles. 65,000 mile warranty. 5% mpg increase. It's the real deal.

Installed these all-season rated 225/45 fronts and 245/40 rears and the overall handling of our M3 is excellent. Had previously used Pirelli P Zero summers but wanted to extend the driving season. The RE970AS's are a great choice and highly recommended.

Second set of these same tires.

This is a very nice tire. I use a performance winter tire for 5 months each year so this tire is on my car about 60% of the year. It has lasted 3 seasons now and comfortably has another season remaining judging by the remaining tread depth. It is quiet and grippy at 7 tenths driving. I have full confidence in this tire at any speed and feel it is great value for the price as well as offering performance that exceeds my requirements. Is there a better tire out there for extremely aggressive driving? Well, maybe but you will likely pay more and experience quicker tread wear and less comfort. For most BMW owners this tire will not disappoint. M3 owners who need to tear up every piece of road they find themselves on? They are a fussy type of driver who might find something to complain about. This is a very under-rated tire and I would recommend it to anyone.

I have an AWD Acura RDX and both my wife and I drive it. I drive more aggressively then her and both of us are very pleased with these Pirellis. I will say I bought these mostly because of positive reviews by Tirerack and consumers. I have not had positive experiences with Pirellis in past but these after 4000 miles are great. In both dry and wet the tires inspire confidence. We had the Bridgestone Duelers on prior and these are MUCH quieter and better all around.

These tires are absolutely amazing. I took a trip to the Tail of the Dragon and had them mounted the same day I was to leave. They saw temperatures ranging from 32F in high elevations to 69F in the low lands during the first day. They did great in cold temperatures where I expected them to be stiff and unresponsive. I even drove on light sleet on the Blue Ridge Parkway near Cherokee, NC! Quiet on the highway and comfortable over rough roads and expansion joints. Unmatched turn-in response and feel in the dry. Now back in FL I've been daily driving them and have driven through rain heavy enough where it was decided best to pull over due to visibility, although the tires never slipped. Even now above 90F temps they have never felt greasy or lost their composure. Excellent tire.

I have these on a Rear Wheel Drive V8 Caddy and I could not be happier. I live in NE Ohio, so snow is not an uncommon occurrence, and dedicated snow tires make all the difference in the world.

Keep in mind, these are snow tires, so don’t put them on too early or leave them on too long. Know that even ½ throttle will over power them if you have a real motor and corners should be taken with a little more care than with the summer shoes.

Noise is no issue, it is winter – your windows should be up anyway – and if noise is a problem, it’s not the fault of the tire - you just need a Cadillac. I
I would definitely buy these again, and this is a much better solution than buying an AWD car with their lower MPG and heavier handling.

Went from the OEM 225/45/18 Hankook Optimo H431 on OEM 18x8 to 245/35/19 Michelin PSS on 19x8.5 wheels. I'm very ocd when it comes to proper air pressure. I use nitrogen and run 38psi, 3psi over oem to optimize for proper load rating. Even though I drive a 4-door sedan, I drive it spirited! The PSSs in my honest opinion is an incredible tire in all aspects. I use to race BMWs and Mazdas in SCCA and know a little about racing. Hence, this tire has great turn-in and allows for sustained control cornering with little push. The variable contact patch seems to just bite the harder I engage cornering and handles the car's weight transfer during cornering, maximizing lateral grip. Wet weather handling is great, however our rainy season has yet to hit us down here in central Florida. In the rain that we have had the tire does very well in both handling, hydroplaning, and breaking. I've driven on Goodyear's F1, Bridgestone's S04, and Conti's Contact DW & DWS. Looking forward to updating this review after I put some mileage on the tires. Stay tuned!

Replaced Continental's that only lasted 40,000 miles. Ride and handling much improved. Noticed roughly 2 mpg improvement which is the main reason I did the research and purchased tires. Great stabililty even on this very heavy crossover. Price much better than comparable Michelin's. Gas savings will more than pay for tires.
