Used X-ICE Nord 2 for 8 years, and it performed flawlessly. Even though there were no issues with the tread, I replaced it because of its advanced age. I wanted to purchase X-ICE Nord 4 studs, but the store didn't carry the necessary size, so I was unsure. In the end, I chose X-ICE SNOW without studs. Comparatively speaking, it seems lighter than the Conti Viking Contact 7 (I held both tires in my hands). till I come to regret it. I wonder how it will appear when there is frost in the winter.See full review
