It is better not to buy it, the product is not what it should be.

The wheels were always Nokian, so I'm dissatisfied and unsure whether to give the company another chance or sell what it already has and go to an other brand.
It's unfortunate to spend a lot of money on top-tier tires only to receive products that appear to be the work of Chinese craftsmen (although some claim that the Chinese are not the same as they were ten years ago).

Pros

great traction in the winter on a variety of surfaces. Excellent handling on ice, snow, and asphalt. Very soothing noise.

Cons

In the second season, only 10% of the spikes were left after one wheel entirely fell off. The other 3 are in good shape. Prior to them, there was a hakapelita that I would rate at 7, and uniform wear was not an issue. Although the studs are the essential component of a studded tire, they are not covered by the guarantee, therefore to me it appears to be a marriage.
