The product did not disappoint, the quality pleases.

I skated 13000 km last summer and recently changed my shoes again from winter.
I drove the winter on Nordman 7 - I will compare with them.
1) The sidewall of the Nordman is thin - if you push the car to the side, then it sways on wheels like jelly. There is no such thing on Viatti, it feels like the car has become like a kart.
2) Noise is moderate. After 80, the sound from air turbulence begins to predominate. But fresh, rough asphalt sounds quite loud (especially when new).
3) Compared to Nordman 7 (but winter in size 175/65/14 and Viatti 185/60/14) - feels the rut more strongly. Nordmann simply rearranges himself in a rut, and Viatti seeks to turn the steering wheel. I associate this again with the hard sidewalls.
4) Braking is good. Much better than spikes.
5) Wear is normal - enough for a couple of seasons of active driving. And then it's easier to buy new ones, the price tag allows.

Pros

The strength of the sidewalls by 5 points - impenetrable. They drain water well - they cut puddles like a knife through butter. Normally balanced, do not hit.

Cons
