Of course I read the reviews before buying. Many wrote that the tires are noisy. I don’t know about anyone else - I have a lada vesta sw cross and even my native Pirellis are much noisier. I generally recommend this tire. Even more expensive tires on asphalt lost spikes, but here everything is in place, I personally checked all four cylinders. Pros: 1. Excellent handling on snow and ice. 2. For the entire period of operation (on snow, ice, wet and dry asphalt, mud), absolutely all the spikes are in place. 3. I liked the protector - it removes water and slush perfectly. 4. Quiet 5. I will take the price as a plus (for my money - it fully justifies itself). Some cons: The disadvantages include the fact that it has become a little warmer and the sata rubber is quite soft, as a result of which the protectors are full of small pebbles.
