Everything in the product suited me, the price is generally perfect.

I have already traveled 4000 km, run in 500 km at speeds up to 60 km / h, tried not to borscht with acceleration / deceleration.
Of these 4000: 70% of the city (Hong Kong with terrible cleaning of streets and yards), 20% of the highway; 10% of snow-covered roads in the region.
All the pluses on wheels 235-60-18, as I wrote above, on a crossover with permanent all-wheel drive and 50/50 torque distribution (RX 350 2G 2022 rest), which leaves a certain imprint on control and sensations.
On the front wheel drive is likely to be different.

Pros

Controllability; excellent behavior on all surfaces except ice (but everything is expected there); excellent speed characteristics coupled with safety (no hint of slippage); confident acceleration and braking without "ABS lamp"; spikes of an interesting shape that should hold well; good directional tread pattern (similar to Hakku 8), good digging, confident in slush; relatively NORMAL price (here it is very close to sarcasm against the background of rubber prices); noise almost gone after 1500 km, very comfortable (factory Shumka is very average), the first 500 km was terrible of course. I would like to put 4.5-4.7, but the rating gives either 4 (it will not be enough) or 5 (a bit too much, but still closer to the truth). I recommend reading the comment, because. in my case of operation there is a feature.

Cons

The main, main disadvantage, according to my feelings, is the behavior in a rut, and it is in an "asphalt" rut on bad roads, the car drives uncertainly, not on the verge of departure, of course, but you subconsciously intercept the steering wheel more tightly. As I understand it, this is due to the structure of the tread, it is made very hilly, something like /=\ of this. I have 235-60-18 in fact have an "effective" width of about 225. On ice, you expect more grip from the spikes, but in general it will do, the main thing is to have a head.

You can admire this rubber if you haven’t ridden another one before.
