s, and RE040s I've previously owned.

Handling is a bit sharper than the Alpins too.

Very nice tire.

Default What size are these tires?
Are they at least 225/45/17's. If not then they are undersized tires.

Haven't tried in the snow yet, but they have a very aggressive tread pattern for the snow.

4th. Been driving on them in sunny LA. Great snow traction, very acceptable as a regular tire too
