I have this tire as well - new for this year for me. Satisfied so far (with no snow :chuckle), but man is it noisy. By far the loudest winter tire I've ever had in 20+ years of driving.

Will wait and see what the snow performance is on this.

Too early to give a start rating yet.

I find my 17" iPikes WAY quieter than my 18" Falken Zeix ZE912's. Though the iPikes seem quieter than my Toyo Observe G02's....

I have this tire. Just took them off today. Put 14000 km on them this season. I thought they performed very well. To me they were a bit noisier than I was used to (driven on Michelin before) but the traction was great. Didn't get much testing in snow this season but I drove to Blue Mountain a couple of times in snow and I was happy with the performance. All in all, I am happy so far.
