Set of 2 Cooper Evolution Winter 205/60R16 92T Tires Fits: 2010-12 Ford Fusion S, 2015-17 Kia Soul LX

Took a chance on these for a 2016 Hyundai Accent. Have had them on for about a month and they have been very good so far. I'm in upstate NY so we get lots of snow. We have a uphill gravel driveway which can be a real challenge, even with snow tires, and impossible without snow tires. Previously I had Michelin x-ice on the car, which were very highly rated on many websites, and they were absolutely terrible in any more than 1" of snow. These Coopers are in a different league. I bought them because they were the most aggressive looking snow tire in the size I needed. I've had blizzaks on a different car before but the new blizzaks are advertising longer tread life. To me, the only way to get that is fewer sipes and/or a harder compound. So, I bought these Coopers. Only once could I not make it up the driveway so far, and after dropping the PSI down to 25 (was 33) I was able to make it. I think we had about 6" of snow that day. We've had a few bad snowstorms, one of which I had to drive in on the highway on these Coopers, and they never lost their grip. Yes the Coopers make noise. Yes they feel spongy on dry pavement. Good snow tires are going to do that. We will see how long they last, but as long a I get 2-3 winters, I'd buy them again.
