| Big snow storm on the east coat the other day, so I got a chance to see how the winter traction is on the Goodyear Eagle F1 All-Seasons . . . FWIW.
Traction on packed snow/ice is fine. The heavy/deep "mashed potato" snow was a problem. My 2006 C230 has the wider tires in the back (245's) and probably not enough weight in the back to get through the deeper/mushy stuff.
I would say the winter traction is somewhere between an OEM tire and a pure Winter tire.
BTW - the hard ride and the noise has subsided, now that the tires have a few (3K) miles on them. So, far so good. |
