Average quality of the product, especially for the money.

I’m riding the LR DS for the second winter, I won’t buy the same ones again, you can ride in winter, but VERY carefully, in an extreme situation I’m not sure about them, I bought it after looking at reviews of famous bloggers, I understood that they were paid, as a result I unsubscribed from bloggers and banned, I'm rolling the tires this winter and will try to sell them. The only advantages of this rubber are that it rolls quietly, the spikes do not fly out, apparently for warm Europe and their roads and their rules they are really good, but we have a moot point to ride them in winter. Again, all that I wrote here about its shortcomings is just a comparison of the sensations of driving with a Hakka 5 (7) SUV on which I have been riding for the past 10 years and this is just my subjective opinion, in any case, you can drive it carefully in winter and even someone I like it, it all depends on the driving style.

Pros

Quiet, balanced well, for two winters the spikes seem to be in place.

Cons

When cornering, protracted and not very, there is always a feeling that the car is blowing away, no matter what, there is snow, ice or dry asphalt on the road. Bad braking on any road condition. All these shortcomings are only compared with Hakka 5, Hakka 5 SUV, Hakka 7 SUV. There is also a feeling that all these shortcomings are due to the number of spikes, there are really a lot of them, but they are small. And all these demolitions occur due to the fact that you roll on a studded cushion if on dry, and if on snow on ice, then their size seems to be not enough. Similarly, with braking, on dry you brake with them and slide, but on packed snow, ice cannot be caught on them. There were no such problems with Hakka, the only exception was when braking on dry pavement, but even here the Hakka had a more predictable braking distance. Well, the price for all these sensations from riding it is still quite high.
