I am not satisfied with the product, there are no positive qualities.

In the spring of 2022, I purchased this tire with a size of 215/65/R16 for a Chevrolet Niva. Leaving during the summer season of 2022. When traveling through certain areas of the city where the asphalt has been broken up by large vehicles, the vehicle has a lot of power and it requires some work to keep it going in the right direction. I examined the tires after it rained in the village when I was driving on the wet clay and black soil (not arable land, not a rut - in dry weather, a surface that is well-packed). The automobile was catapulted onto something even more treacherous than ice. The "ponizhayka" was the vehicle that allowed for the successful resolution of the issue. While I was travelling on the highway, I did not observe anything that was particularly remarkable. The handling of the vehicle receives a grade of C (it does not allow you to relax; you are need to continually taxi up and catch the road, particularly on asphalt that is "broken" with patches). Also on the street, people started getting caught in the pouring rain. The pace was close to 90 kilometers per hour. I won't claim that I had aquaplaning because the car moved rather smoothly, but the issues with steering did not go away, of course. Therefore, there are not any particular difficulties associated with the disposal of water. Because there were narrow wheels from Niva 2121 (J5) or in the state of a running car (although all maintenance is done on time, including even wheel alignment, the car does not participate in off-road drives), I initially believed that the problem was in the disks. Nevertheless, after the winter of 2022-2022 and driving on winter tires (I won't specify the brand so that there is no advertising), it became apparent that the problem was still in the rubber (I fitted this rubber on J6.5 wheels in the new season and compared it as a result to the controllability of winter). When I rode on ice in the winter, I didn't have to work as hard to maintain control as I did when I rode on this rubber in the summer. However, after I switched from winter tires to summer tires (provided tires) in the spring of 2022, it became significantly less comfortable to ride. In conclusion, I cannot give it my stamp of approval. The rubber is tough, and in my opinion, it will be just as much of a liability off-road as it would be on the track.

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Rigid. Even at moderate speeds, it has a difficult time keeping its bearings on dry asphalt. Even on flat pavement, it is necessary to steer when traveling at faster speeds. Even at slow speeds of 10 to 15 kilometers per hour, the car can become uncontrollable if it is driven on wet clay or black soil because the tread becomes clogged.
