  • Mazda 3 - 205/55R16 - I've used many winter tires (Bridgestone WT02, Michelin Alpin, Blizzak WS50, Dunlop Winter Sport, Blizzak WS60) and these are the best. Low noise, excellent ride, better than my all seasons. Not being performance winters you do give up dry traction (noticeable on on-ramps) but they are the least feeling winters I have owned with the exception of the Dunlop Winter Sports, however the Dunlops did not inspire the same level of confidence when the weather turns nasty. They are very stable during on the highway and do not exhibit some of the “mushiness” that affects many winter tires. Deep and packed snow and ice traction is incredible, I have to slam on the brakes to engage the ABS. Backing up a sloped driveway after freezing rain I did not slip once. Wet traction is also very good with no sense of hydroplaning on the highway. From starting there is minimal wheel spin and cornering is also very good. How much do I like them ? I installed them on all 3 of our cars.

  • 2007 Ford Mustang - 17 - I live in Nebraska and we have already had well over 2 feet of snow this year. If I did not have these tires, I would probably still be stuck in my house. I was forced into a drift because of an on coming vehicle that could not pass. I thought I was going to be stuck for sure. With my Arctic tires, I went through that drift with no hesitation. I am truly impressed with these tires and all my friends and family cannot believe I am getting around in all this snow in a Mustang! I could go on and on about these tires, but I think having a Mustang getting around in vast amounts of snow says it all!

  • mazda - 225 70 15 - Great tire in snow, as good as my last set(toyo observe). I think the toyo were a little better on ice but the altimax are a little better in snow. Overall great tire for a great price. My only con would be some chunking of the tire when driving on gravel roads, little bits of tire tread broke off when pebbles wedged in the sipes. Very minor but if you were doing a lot of gravel roads it may eat up your tires a bit. After one season very satisfied overall.
