A good product, but having its own defects.

They stand on the Infiniti FX37 in the dimension 265/50 R20 111V. Bought new at the end of March 2022. In terms of handling - complete order. We were attracted by reviews about the softness and lack of noise, but in fact the noise is quite high and a resonant hum appears at speed. In terms of softness (taking into account the stiff suspension of the FX37) it is quite normal. At 120-130 km / h along the Hong Kong Ring Road, it is necessary to speak in the cabin in VERY raised tones, it is not comfortable to drive. Up to 80 km / h the situation is quite tolerable. I was surprised that the winter studded Yokohama IceGuard is at least not louder, and maybe up to 100 km / h and quieter. Definitely very attractive price, made in Japan and a beautiful tread pattern.

Pros

- No rutting is felt - Holds straight well - Excellent "hold" in the corners - Reasonable price

Cons

- Noisy and booming (noise increases in progression with increasing speed; noise figures are at the level of studded Yokohama IceGuard) - A bit harsh (especially in comparison with the winter studded Yokohama IceGuard)
