Anyhow, I have Winterforce tires on my wife's car. They have seen 2 winters (10 to 15,000 kms?) and are wearing evenly. Actually, the degree of wear is better than I expected. They are quite good in deep snow & slush. They are adequate on ice, though still far superior to all seasons. They are a tad noisy at speeds above 100 km/hr. I can live with a bit of noise for the peace of mind.
For the price, I don't think they can be beat. I will probably buy a set for my Focus in the next few weeks.
