Very accurate first review. I just bought tires yesterday (23/02/2022). It is NOT oak to the touch, an interesting tread pattern - apparently an emphasis on comfort. The sidewalls are elastic, I didn’t feel any excessive softness - I compared Energy Saver with my Michelins. The tire is fresh - 46 weeks 2022. Just started shipping from the factory. Made in 2022. The world announcement, as far as I understand, is the summer of 2022. Reviews on foreign sites are excellent. We'll see in less than 2 months. 19/06/2022 In general, everyone is satisfied. The opinion about the tire has not changed. Good handling, acceptable noise level - what more do you need. The strong side in my opinion - the wet road is its element - it goes like on rails. Very comfortable on the Kia Ceed, soft (but not overbearing) rolls well and smooths out the stiff suspension.
