These are on my wife's 2023 CR-V, installed about 2 months 1500 mile ago.
Might be considered a useless review since they are close to new, but thought I would share how they perform at this stage.
2 separate events within a couple days,
First one was 8-10" of heavy snow, low 30's while it was snowing.
Playing around on secondary streets that were not plowed yet, could hear snow scraping the underside, the tires performed great, had to try pretty hard to lose grip, including turning and stopping. The plowed roads had some compaction and was salted and started to get slushy, couldn't see bare pavement yet, the tires performed great again, really had to try hard to get any slip, felt comfortable and sure footed.
The second event added another 5-6", but got cold after it started snowing. What I think happened was the snow started melting from the fresh salt on the roads, and got cold and froze before accumulating, because after it was plowed, it was a thick hard layer of shiny ice.
This is where more grip would have been nice. Could easily get it to spin, and braking of course needed extra distance and planning. Comparing to the other vehicles out there, it seems we had about the same level of grip as everyone else. Driving on shiny thick ice was a good test, and was fine if driving for the conditions. If someone wants to drive fast on ice, might want to look for a different tire.
