I note the "noisiness" characteristic of studded tires. I'm skating for the second season. A very soft ride on a snowy road, whether it's asphalt or dirt. The grip with the road surface is excellent - when starting from traffic lights, I don’t slip (perhaps due to smooth starting). For two years of operation, all the spikes remained in place. I drive mostly in the city. I enter the turns confidently, there is no drift. Rustles and keeps turning wonderful.
