Yup comfy and relatively quiet even on old rotted pavement. That soft sidewall also means that they are great on dirt roads My only beef is they didn't last as long as I was hoping they would but I think that has a fair bit to do with how hot the pavement around here got the last two summers, a soft durometer grippy tire would wear faster when it's like that.

You're the second one to tout the snow performance. I had dedicated winter tires the last few years so didn't get to test that aspect but might this year if I replace them rather than my worn out winters (Conti WC).
