Drove a season on this tire. Very happy! I strongly doubted its noise characteristics due to the tread pattern, but I was pleasantly surprised, the rubber does not make noise at various speeds, while holding the road perfectly. Dry/wet asphalt - all the same. Puddles without hydroplaning. Off-road - absolutely better than any main tire. Forgot about the rut. A huge plus is the presence of an additional reinforced bead on the side of the tire - I'm not afraid to scratch the disc when parking next to the curb. For 5 months of operation, the tires are like new, the wear is invisible (10,000 have passed).
