This tire has been driven 20,000 kilometers so far and still has 7-8 millimeters of tread life left. Despite the widespread belief that this rubber can be used in temperatures as low as -10 degrees Fahrenheit (I even specified it specifically at the Yokohama representative office in Hong Kong), I would not recommend using them for the duration of the winter season. The rubber performs poorly on icy asphalt but is more forgiving in loose snow. As early as the end of November, when snow can ALREADY be in places, I switch my car over to winter tires due to the soft rubber and aggressive tread. And when the snow doesn't seem to be melting, I switch to my Geolanders at the end of March. This is especially true in the Leningrad area, where the snow may not melt until the first of May. Rubber has adequate grip and stopping power in this regard, provided the driver takes it easy and slow during the colder months. The SUV drivers I know who have this rubber on their vehicles report being happy with it year-round use. However, I did not experience any humming while driving on the highway and believe that these tires are no noisier than any other summer option. If you ask me, the wind noise coming from the car's body is louder. Yes, and when you're driving in a stream somewhere on the ring road at speeds of 100-110 km/h and trucks and gazelles are passing you by, the noise from other cars is much louder than your own. Although it's been widely reported that Americans' gas use has increased, I've noticed no such trend in my own household. One other benefit mentioned in reviews was that "punctures and cuts are not terrible for a powerful layer of new rubber," which played a role in my choice to purchase this product. But one fall, a "klopik" style self-tapping screw dug into the tire and "lowered" it over time. I've included a photo of the insect as well as the tourniquet repair procedure. In addition, I discovered a rusty nail fragment in the right rear tire this spring (there was no hole; the bar staff removed it when balancing the wheels).
