The average product, you can find a better one.

The tires were used for 4 months on a Skoda Octavia A7 1.4 tsi manual transmission, I specifically indicate - front-wheel drive and a torque motor for a mono-drive, however, the driving style is not aggressive and the first 500 km were generally neatly rolled, tire pressure recommended! The tires were bought new and for a tiny mileage I did not expect the vision of such a number of spikes . Before that, there was experience in operating Nokian, Michelin, the ancient Bridgestone ice cruiser 5000, this was not even close .
Rubber is normal, for its price, but it is important to build on the operating conditions and the make and model of the car when choosing tires.

Pros

Rubber is strong in architecture, in 2022 realities it is quite a viable option. Does well on ice and snow. Adequately behaves on asphalt.

Cons

It makes noise, in my opinion, moderately, you can’t call it quiet. Braking on wet pavement back to back, especially when all the spikes are in place. Sufficiently hard rubber, but this is not entirely a drawback, because. it is really strong and holds the road well. The main "for me" minus: For 4.5 thousand mileage on the front wheels, 15-20 spikes flew out of the central part of the tread, the rest shifted 45 degrees in the direction of travel. Rear tires are like new. That is, for city driving with episodic abrupt starts on a monodrive, there is a high probability of losing 20-30 spikes per season.
