Do not hesitate to buy, the quality is amazing for the price.

Drove them 2 times in January Hong Kong-Hong Kong-Hong Kong. Different coverage in the regions, temperatures from +2 to -29, uncleaned roads, etc. - not a single problem or dangerous situation. Tires are not cheap, but fully justified the price. Over 8,000 km in 2 winters - not a single dangerous situation, in the city, on the highway, in the snow. Before that, there were NF5 gislaveds, Nokian 8 - I will never put spikes again. Separately, a bold plus is confidence when changing lanes at high speed during snow-asphalt transitions and side grip in corners. I do not take into account acceleration, because 4x4.

Pros

Handling, braking on snow/asphalt, lane change accuracy at the asphalt-snow-asphalt gauge boundary when overtaking over 100 km/h. Very quiet.

Cons

I did not find the regular dimension 215/70 16, I took 215/65 - the speedometer is lying, of course. You have to be careful when braking on heavily iced asphalt - after all, the braking distance is higher than that of the spikes.
