The product did not disappoint, the quality pleases.

Tires rolled about 500km. During this time, the resonance point has shifted from 108-110 km / h to 102-104. Tire size 205/55R16. In a different size, the resonance will probably be at a different speed.
I tried to brake on bare dry asphalt and frozen - the tire behaves adequately, no worse than the old Nordman4.
Let's see how many spikes remain after the season.
I consider it a completely competitive tire for such giants as Hakkapelita, Continental and Michelin, which cost 1.5-2 times more.

Pros

1. Small spikes, so the tire is quiet, it does not differ much from the summer tire in terms of noise. Much quieter compared to Nordman4. 2. Korea production 3. Holds the road better than my previous Nordman4 4. Well balanced. Loaders no more than 50g per wheel.

Cons

At a speed of 102-104 km / h (according to the speedometer 108-110) enters into resonance and begins to howl. It is not very comfortable, because on the highway this is the main speed.
