Any Minerva snow tire reviews?

Looking for a set of reasonably priced snow tires. Was on the phone the my dealers tire supplier trying to order continental extreme winter contact snow tires but I was told the t rating was something to avoid. He suggested Minerva tires saying that he has had nothing but positive reviews from his customers and his daughters x3.being the skeptic that I'am, I can't help but think he has a bunch Minerva tires he's truing to get rid of and banking on them lol.im leaning towards the continentals as they're only $100 more for the set unless concinced otherwise
