You should not take it, it does not meet any standards.

I purchased this rubber on October 15th, 2022, and it is currently the third winter. I looked at the front tires, and they had a lot of spikes, and the core section of the tire was shattered. There was no indication of this on any of my winter tires that I can recall. At the same time, it would appear that the rubber also wears out quite a bit because there are now spikes protruding from it. It was like that on the second Michelin X Ice Nord 2 mine, so presumably there was some kind of marriage with spikes.

Pros

There is not much tire noise. Maintains a firm grip on the road.

Cons

Removes the spikes' centralized portion and breaks it off. As the tires wear down, the spikes start to protrude. It is uncomfortable to be in the snow.

Got pros: New model. Not noisy. Claimed as a tire with good winter flotation and handling. Check it out in winter! Got cons: I'm at a loss, I haven't found any shortcomings yet.
