Average product, you can do better.

I bought these tires in 2022, sold them for a penny in September 2022. It turns out that I rode them for 5 seasons (October - April, Hong Kong).
The release year was 2022.
Operated on a front-wheel drive Tiguan, 122 hp, mechanics.

I can’t praise this rubber, but I can’t even say that it’s bad. All the features I have described are attributed to the shortcomings of the car. Except the spikes. Break down.

Nevertheless, I bought another tire, also new, from the premium segment. Compare :) In a year I will add a review.

Pros

Compared to the linden Bridgestone Revo GZ seemed to me more predictable. It's become more fun to drive. In general, there were no particular complaints about the rubber, despite the very soft sidewall: they were scared that hernias on it were a frequent occurrence. I didn't catch one. The roads in our city are not ideal, I flew into the pits - mother do not worry. As for noise, I would say: - as long as there are spikes: speed up to 60 km / h - they are like summer ones, maybe even quieter. Above - buzzing. - there are no spikes: they are quieter than summer ones :) I have summer Bridgestone H/P. They make noise :) The tread is aggressive, despite the softness, after five winters it was still very decent.

Cons

On the spikes: in the third year of operation, they began to break. They broke, but didn't fall out. That is, there is a piece of iron in the hole, but there is no spike. For the fourth season, there were very few spikes, and for the fifth, there were none left at all. Some iron stumps. Ride became hard, especially uphill on the ice, sold for a penny. But my car is so tricky.

Different pros: + manageability + fairly quiet tires (maybe new) + Feels confident on the ice and on the pavement. Some cons: Haven't revealed yet.

After two seasons I am looking for other tires. I do not recommend these.

Has some pros: holds the road well, specially drove on ice and snow, I really liked it. Has cons: sooo soft, I already threw out one cylinder, fell into a small hole, the sidewall burst
