I have a VAG that handles amazingly. More precisely, it was controlled . until I installed these tires, after running in they behave strangely and, in addition to noise, there is a feeling that they are "carried" in a rut. Production took Poland, the end of the 20th year. Has pros: The very first km was pretty quiet. When driving through puddles, it more or less holds, although the sound from the puddles is strongly audible. Noise after 100 mph does not increase anymore. Cons: noise . just tin, after a little break-in, they approached the first thousand km and began to make noise like a steam locomotive. They make more noise than a studded winter. They are non-directional, the handle is far from the best, but with such noise . In general, you can safely call it UNDERpremium, take Dunlop or other cheaper tires with a directional "water" tread and not know grief.
