So let's write a review of this rubber now. I drove it for three seasons, covering 12 thousand kilometers on average each year. No spike was lost or broken off for the entire three years; I only used it sparingly to commute from home to work and back, occasionally to the nearby city, and of course to the shopping center. I suggest this tire. Well, in regards to the noise, I'd say that an AvtoVAZ 2 gear makes considerably greater noise than this rubber on bare asphalt.
