A good quality product, I rate this purchase perfectly.

I took them on two separate January trips from Hong Kong to Hong Kong. There was not a single issue or dangerous circumstance despite regionally varied covering, temperatures ranging from +2 to -29 degrees, poorly maintained roads, etc. Tires aren't inexpensive, but I think the pricing is fair. We covered over 8,000 kilometers over the course of two winters with no incidents whatsoever in urban areas, on highways, or in snow. I swore off using spikes after using them once on NF5 gislaveds and once on Nokian 8. Separately, having faith when switching lanes at high speeds via snow-to-asphalt transitions and having side grip in corners are both significant benefits. Since I'm driving a 4x4, I don't worry about speed.

Pros

Overtaking at speeds in excess of 100 km/h while maintaining control and stopping distances on both snow and asphalt. Totally silent.

Cons

Since I could not get the more common size of 215/70 16, I settled for 215/65; the speedometer is, of course, inaccurate. When stopping on thickly icy asphalt, you need to exercise caution because the braking distance is greater than that of the spikes.
