Thank you HotRodW. I think they are ok. Time will tell.
Twix, it doesn't really matter if they worn out fast. If they are good for what I want, I am happy. If they need replacement, then I am gonna replace them. Until then, maybe more tires will show up, maybe Michelin will make the MXV4 in this size, and we can get some inputs about the new Nokian WRG3. They look interesting.
Today, in paralel with my other car I figured out why they look slimer than 17" regardless they are on 18"; the tire wall si curved towards the midle of the tire. Maybe that explains why is a litle bit "boaty" when I try the "moose test", but I guess that being narrower will help in the snow.
I am watching the trip computer, it seems that the gas is going up a litle bit. It was at 9.7/100 with the old tires, now I am at 10.1/100km. that's quite a change.
