I installed these on a FWD Ford Maverick Hybrid. I live in a snowy area and wasn't sure how well they would do in the winter not being a dedicated winter only tire on a FWD vehicle. So far they have been great. They have an aggressive deep tread pattern and are certainly noisier than the stock tires they replaced. However, the noise isn't terrible and I wouldn't call it a big issue. Fuel economy went down a bit but not by much and well worth it considering the increased grip they give in all 4 seasons. In my previous vehicle I had Falken Wildpeak AT trails which are a competitor to these. I would say the Nokians seem to have better overall grip and are the same weight. The Wildpeaks were quieter and added no noticeable noise from stock tires. Tread life has yet to be determined but the starting tread depth is much deeper with the Nokians at 13/32 vs the Falkens 11/32. I wasn't impressed with the tread depth and tread life of the Wildpeaks and that was the primary reason I didn't buy those again. I also really like the looks of the Nokians as well.
