Rubber is not bad. Definitely recommended to all my friends. Wear is minimal, the snow is just amazing. In general, I am very pleased with the rubber, but I started to lower it at the place where the spikes were attached in the third season. Therefore, I will skate this season, and next I will have to choose something else. In fact, the tires are very decent and could go two or three more winters, but as always, flaws in details are in the details.
