I have a set of these on my 706 wheels, which are my dedicated winter wheels. I got very little opportunity to drive in snow this winter but on cold and wet days, these tires worked very well. They also appear to have a good reputation. In general, at least on dry but cold roads, these tires were comfortable, reasonably quiet, and handled surprisingly.

I have the Pzero Winter too stock dimensions on the stock rims and they work fine. |
Thanks for the advice! That was my problem with the PZeros. They were just "fine" as a winter tire — they worked pretty well for purposes of snow/ice duty, but the performance left a lot to be desired. I feel like the last few winters I didn't get enough snow days to justify a huge decrease in performance for 4 to 5 months.
