I'll throw my 2 cents in. I've had these for about 5000mi now, and we just had snow, mixed snow, and an ice storm within the past two weeks. These have been fantastic in the snow and ice. The wet traction is great, and I feel confident. Obviously, ice is ice, but the slippage has been minimal.

Can't say I really have any complaints. I've been playing around with tire pressures to see how the mpgs roll. 36-37 usually keeps me around 17.5, plus or minus a couple tenths depending on how my driving goes for the week. Overall, I usually do 60/40 city/highway. Of course, temp, driving style, air pressure (etc.) affect those mpgs, so it isn't super reliable or scientific. But I was ok with the chalk test on them.

In terms of noise, I find the road noise acceptable. It's higher pitched, but it is not nearly as loud as other ATs or MTs that I have heard while on the street.
