I've not run those. Tread design looks great, but usually with performance snows the actual rubber compound isn't as soft or porous - which is what gives the grip on cold hard, slick surfaces. It is also what makes the tires soft and wayward on dry pavement and what makes them wear fast. Always a give and take.

TBH, I believe normal studless snows wear faster on dry pavement than performance do, I assume the performance is slightly more stiff on the dry which will give it slightly better treadlife in the dry, but worst grip on ice, snow.
