Won't buy this one again
I have had three sets of these tires on my 2016 Ford Focus RS. It was the OEM winter tire for the car, and I was impressed enough to buy subsequent sets. The first two sets were incredible - great handling characteristics for a winter tire, quiet and smooth drive, great treadwear life, and unstoppable in even deep snow. However, this past winter I put a replacement set on, and the handling characteristics have gone significantly downhill. There is so much sidewall flex, and such significant movement in the tread that I feel like I'm driving on jello. I'm guessing that this is a new rubber compound, and while it does perform well in snow and on ice, I am disappointed that the change in compound has so negatively impacted the driving characteristics. I know that no winter tire will ever give as crisp and edgy handling as a summer tire, but I am directly comparing this tire to itself.

Nothing better than the Pilot Alpin PA6 for high powered Sports Cars
Over the past five years, I’ve used two full sets of Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4 tires on my 2020 AMG GT C for winter driving, and they’ve been absolutely spectacular. At temperatures below 40°F (4°C), these tires provide better grip than most summer tires do at 60°F (15°C) and above. On dry roads, even at high speeds (up to 168 MPH / 270 KPH), I have full confidence in their performance when taking fast corners, even in temperatures below 20°F (-7°C). Braking performance is also exceptional. On damp surfaces, they inspire more confidence than track-focused tires like the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 while on dry surface. In wet or lightly snow-covered conditions, I can drive cautiously but confidently, knowing they will keep me safe and get me where I need to go. It’s worth noting that my GT C is RWD with nearly 600 HP, so maintaining grip in extreme cold is absolutely crucial—and these tires deliver.

Great Big O Tires
I find my new Big O Legacy Tires, have good traction, and I feel it provide a comfortable ride. The main reason I bought these tires is for the free tire repair at Big O Tires. I seem to run over nails often.

Tires are performing well, I like how quiet they are as they are not the OEM brand that is recommended (no longer available). Jury is still out on any gas mileage changes from the Pirellis as the car is a Hybrid

Love these tires!
The grip is great. After installing them, I could feel it. Also, they're very stable, provide me a feeling of total control. I was surprised that they're pretty quiet too. Lexus is a very quiet car, and I think they fit quite well. I love the look and tread of the tires. So far so good. No snow yet, I will give you a follow up review if I can.

WARNING: Serious or fatal injury may result from tire failure due to underinflation or overloading. To ensure correct air pressure and vehicle load, refer to vehicle owner's manual or tire information placard on the vehicle. Serious injury or death may result from explosion of tire/rim assembly due to improper mounting. Only tire professionals should mount tires and they should never inflate beyond 40 psi to seat the beads. Before mixing types of tires in any configuration on any vehicle, be sure to check the vehicle owner's manual for its recommendations.
DANGER: Never mount a 16" diameter tire on a 16.5" rim.
DANGER: Never mount a 17" diameter tire on a 17.5" rim
Inflation pressure increase must not exceed the maximum pressure branded on the tire sidewall. When a customer requests a replacement tire with a lower speed rating than the original equipment tire, you must clearly communicate to him or her that the handling of the vehicle may be different, and that its maximum speed capability is limited to that of the lowest speed-rated tire on the vehicle. Exceeding the lawful speed limit is neither recommended nor endorsed.
For high-speed driving, additional inflation pressure and possibly reduced tire loading and/or upsizing is required. In the absence of specific recommendations by the vehicle manufacturer, use the following guidelines based on those in the European Tyre and Rim Technical Organization Standards Manual.
For speeds over 160mph (100 mph), load and inflation must be adjusted according to the table below.
