The most disappointing to me was this particular model. Before them, there were both Hakapaele and Nordmans, and everything was fantastic during that time. They drove off in the vehicles; there was no need for them to even change. The final vehicle to receive a tire was a Nordman 5 suv. I didn't even feel ice. Attended CR-V-3 for a total of four years before being sold with a vehicle that was in pristine shape. (I roll ten thousand kilometers every winter) This Nordman 7 SUV tire was a necessity for the new CR-V-4, therefore I purchased it. Almost quickly, I observed that she stores her makeup in ice. I was taken aback when, during a tight curve at a slow speed, the vehicle's rear end began to slip. After that, it occurred once more in a variety of locations. Now, well in advance of any turn, I come to a complete stop and crawl. During the course of the season, I will switch to something different. There are no complaints about the quality of the rubber itself; the balance is great, and all of the spikes are in position. Perhaps I purchased a fake, but there are no complaints about the quality of the spikes. But they are appalling at the primary responsibility that they have!
