Valuable purchase, nothing but pluses!

Before that, I used Haku 7 for 6 years in winter, it suited me perfectly, but last year a pair of wheels lost their geometry and began to knock at speed.
I tried X-ice4 last winter, I bought one for my wife for a car within a 16m radius, she liked it.
I decided not to experiment and save on safety, I took the same one for myself.
Surprisingly like asphalt, winter has not yet come.

Pros

Manageability even at positive temperatures is better than on inexpensive Korean summer tires. For spikes, the noise is moderate. Appearance is subjective and doesn't matter to me.

Cons

Size 245/60/18, not common and expensive, you could take for example 235/60/18 for 10tr cheaper per set. With other manufacturers, the difference in this size is not so significant. Not silent, after 100 km / h there is a sound similar to the sound of a helicopter flying far enough away. At the same time, during the run-in, the first tens of kilometers were even noisier.
