Result: Would you buy again? Definitely
Comment:
Roads don't get cleared of snow where I live and on the original fit tyres even a light fall of snow put the car out of use. We haven't had any serious snow since I bought these tyres, but a light fall caused no problems and these tyres instilled great confidence.
I was concerned that these tyres may result in higher fuel consumption and more road noise, but if anything they are a little quieter and more economical than the original Dunlop SPs. The only slight downside I can find is that the ride is slightly less compliant; very little in it though.
Note that the tyres I bought are AO standard which have a better fuel economy and noise rating than the standard Vector. I would certainly buy again.
