I am satisfied with the tires, for normal road driving - quite. There is no feeling of a tank, as on studded Nokian and Gislaved, but also the price. For 20 years I have tried a lot of rubber and this one is no worse than the hyped brands. But the main trouble with cheap tires is hard frost and microcracks on the tread after 2-3 years, I hope this will not happen here, time will tell. For a heavy (2 tons or more) car, and for off-road driving, I would still put something with a more powerful sidewall.
