Strong noise when I installed new ones, after 200 km the noise decreased, but still not very comfortable compared to my past Gislaved and Kumho, the contrast will probably be even stronger relative to the top brands. Tires are good for the money, let's see what happens after the first season. Has some pros: budget, Good tread pattern copied from top tires. Works well on ice and snow Perfectly balanced on 4 wheels, more than 45g each was not on 235 / 65R17 Its cons: The noise is quite loud and annoying. On the slurry, it slips a little when cornering, but maybe it depends on the car.
