These are fantastic. We have a Dodge Caravan which we normally run the all weather Nokian WRG series, however we moved out to the country with dirt roads and a steep dirt driveway. With the snowpack on top of the driveway the van needed more bite to get up. These did the trick. As with any studded tire they are loud.
