Pros

Of the pluses, I would especially like to note hydroplaning, which this particular model does not have as a view - it flew into puddles and “lakes” both on straight sections and on turns, and for 70 km, and for 150 km - a car goes like it's on rails. Brakes smoothly and very briefly. Very confident and strong sidewalls - flew into several holes - not a hint of a hernia.

Cons

Among the shortcomings: noisy, VERY NOISY, but I don’t know who the complaint is about tires or Korean cars in general (although the car is all around in very good sound insulation, including arches, hood, engine compartment, bottom, doors, fenders, trunk). Very tough, at first it seemed that it was no longer made of rubber, but of plastic, although for a season with considerable mileage, wear was almost zero. When kaleynost, the car goes crazy, throws from side to side (there is also a moot point, who is to blame, tires or a Korean car). Still, probably, in terms of stiffness, for hotter regions or high speeds.
