The stud-studded Hakkapelitta 9 SUV on the BMW X3 was too noisy for me, so I swapped it out for a Pirelli. I entered the tire shop wearing spikes when it was snowing on the street, and I left wearing this Velcro without noticing the difference. Driving seems to be identical to that on a studded tire, with the exception of ice. Since the rubber's manufacturer changed its composition, it is best to purchase manufacturing no earlier than 2022.
