The product is definitely not worth the nerves spent, it's better not to take it.

Foolishly and in a hurry, I bought a new set of these wonderful tires in size 245/40r19 on original BMW 786m rims. For 3 months of operation of new tires - 3 side cuts, in completely harmless pits on the Hong Kong Ring Road and its environs. The third did not repair, threw it away.
The handling of the BMW 530dx is disgusting on them. I stopped trusting the car, because the behavior is predicted very poorly. A small snowball - and you go like a vegetable.
The speed index is T (up to 190), but if you drive for 5-10 minutes at a speed of 150 and get out of the car, you can clearly feel the smell of burnt rubber.
Wouldn't recommend to anyone who drives fast.

Pros

- low noise level; - in a rut behaves decently; - on wet roads and temperatures around zero, they have advantages over both summer and studs.

Cons

- weak sidewalls on a low profile; - C grade aquaplaning; - controllability on dry pavement for a C grade, the sharpness of the steering wheel is greatly lost in comparison with summer; - on ice - a deuce, they seem to be holding, but they break down unpredictably. - in the snow - deuce, do not keep the trajectory.
