I used rubber (205/55 zr16) for 2 seasons (it didn’t wear out, it just didn’t fit on a new car). On a front wheel drive car. Bought it after goodyear. This is heaven and earth: the car began to bite into the asphalt. Tires are noisy as well as michlen energy saver (they are on another car, I did not find the same one on r15). Excessive wear was not observed. For all the time not a single hernia. Its pros: Excellent road holding in any weather (did not check in ice). It is very difficult to break into a skid. Very confidently keeps a given trajectory even in the downpour. Slightly subject to wear. Cons below: In comparison with goodyear (used 3 different models), they are not.
