The overall experience of working with this rubber has met my expectations. After three months of driving this way, I have observed that I save between one and two liters of petrol, which is extremely great. The lamellas are effective at draining water, the snow does not become entangled, and the contact patch is adequate; the tire adheres to brushed asphalt, snow, and ice by a factor of 5 or more, but only 5 on ice. The item lived up to my expectations and was well worth the cash. Auto - Kia sportage
