Not a bad purchase, worth the money.

The tread pattern is a copy of Nokian Nordman 7 and Nordman 7 SUV, also known as Hakkapellita 7 SUV. Operated on Renault Duster 4x4. Also operated a different size on the Renault Logan.
Overall a solid 4 considering the price. In the budget segment, this tire has the best value for money. If for small sizes you can throw a little and take something better, then for 215/70 r16 the difference is already noticeable. Therefore, the larger the size, the more due to the price Cordiant wins compared to competitors. You should not take tires older than a year, although this applies to all budget tires.

Pros

- The main advantage is the price. - Well balanced. (When buying, check that there is one batch or at least one week of production. 4-digit code on the sidewall xxyu, where xx is the serial number of the week of manufacture in the year, yy is the year of manufacture. ) - Good road holding on a straight line and cornering. - In this size, it swallows well the rutting on the road when changing lanes. - The tread well removes water and snow porridge at positive temperatures. - Rowing well in loose snow. - Feels good on clean ice with new spikes (I don't know what will happen next) - The studs hold up well if run-in is done beforehand. (based on opinions of 4 independent car owners) - Moderately noisy (at size 215/70) - Large selection of sizes.

Cons

- The tread width is much narrower than that of competitors, the tire has the following profile: \__/, this should be taken into account when choosing the size. With a tire width of 215, the tread width corresponds to approximately 205-195. (I did not take this into account, it was worth taking 225 or even 235) - Due to the shape of the profile, it is difficult to get out of a deep rut. - The rubber compound is harsh for the 2022n winter, at -30 friction clutches (notches) do not work. - Long braking distance on icy pavement. Use with caution without ABS - In hard snow or at positive temperatures in the mud, it is washed out and does not row. - Sellers often have a variety of sorts by batch and date of manufacture.
