The price/quality ratio is great, I will buy again.

The set is coming to an end, it has been in operation for about 6 years and during all this time there has not been a single case when I would like to throw away a set of tires and buy another one. It keeps well on the road, brakes well, durable, I personally did not notice a lot of noise. Normal, good wheels. Now, if only there were no problems with rutting . . However, with a huge degree of probability, next time I will buy exactly the same ones.

Pros

-Very durable. Several times I caught deep holes at speed, from the last - at a speed of 120 km / h I caught a piece of iron 10-15 centimeters high, standing on an edge. Notch on the tire and sidewall, sidewall imprint on the rim, but the wheel is intact. No hernias, no ruptures. I put it back and I'll calmly roll it. -It keeps the road well (225 \ 55 R17), I drive "with my head", but still quite "sharply", I have never heard a tire squeak and did not feel demolition, even when I caught myself thinking that with the speed of approach I overdo it in a turn. Ceteris paribus, the past Yokohama in such conditions squealed and strove to go sideways.

Cons

-Very strongly feels the rut. Right here VERY. When it hits a rut, the car in the literal sense of the word “throws”, you have to catch and hold it with almost two hands. It is especially difficult to rebuild after the winter Hakapelitta, where in a rut of any depth you can simply let go of the steering wheel and the car will not move.
