I'm sure the higher profile, non-staggered setup provides for better traction, but I compromised to keep the look of the 19 inch multi-spoke wheels and I'm satisfied with my choice.


They did just fine in the snow. I didn't notice any difference in road noise either. I had severe pothole damage to one tire that required replacement. I don't know if another tire would have survived the pothole. It was difficult to get the tire replaced. It took a couple of days to order. My first year service is scheduled for the end of September. I'll swap out the summer tires for the Sottozeros again at that time.
