Rubber is not cheap, but more than fully justifies its cost! Naturally, one should not expect miracles from it on bare ice (it's always funny to read disappointed reviews about this), but for Velcro it is simply gorgeous! Its pros: The noise of tires is beyond praise! At first, it even seemed that it was quieter than summer. Course stability on slush is very pleasing, the car behaves very stably and predictably. Acceleration on packed snow is also very good for Velcro. With its cons: An impressive grip during acceleration can create a false sense of confidence (especially on all-wheel drive), you still need to be careful when braking (although this parameter is also very high for Velcro). The price is high - a set of 225 / 45R18 cost around 60 thousand.
