I skated 5000 kilometers on these tires, and three out of four hernias came out (and on one radial), even though I drive carefully; on the tires I had before, none of my hernias ever came out after five seasons of use. If other people's experiences are any indication, I'm not the only one who feels this way about these tires. If that's the case, consider yourself really fortunate. It is better to spend extra and take something different because safety depends on it, and as for me, I will never buy rubber from this company again. It is better to pay extra and take something else.
