I took hakkapeliitta 7 instead, and I must say that there is a difference. Maybe just the old rubber was well knurled and due to this it was softer, or maybe Nordman has a different composition, in general, I felt the difference, but I won’t say that this is a minus. On asphalt, be more careful: spikes are spikes and dry - like a cow on ice, but on everything else - there are no questions about rubber. I flew into the pits - the rubber is strong, don't be afraid here. Well, without fanaticism in winter, take care of yourself.
