I do like them. They are around 4 years old now and so far they haven't had a puncture. They are fairly low pressure (75 psi) hard case tires. The reflective sidewalls are bright. They don't have a particularly grippy tread. The tread is smooth with grooves in it. Cyclocross tires would probably be better in the snow than Vittoria Randonneurs. I haven't tried riding my Buena Vista in the snow because I have a mountain bike which is good in the snow.
