Although it had been sitting in warehouses for almost a year before I purchased it at the beginning of January 2023, the price was the same as if it had been brand new. The tire had been manufactured in December 2022. Since I purchased it in stages while it was on the market, we will infer that this behavior is typical. Everything was in good balance, with 0 at the bottom having no greater deviations than the others. I installed it in a Ssang yong vehicle, which has fantastic sound insulation, so I won't comment on noise; but, I did notice an immediate improvement in driving performance after installing it. When I was there before, I turned on the front-wheel drive (there was a Kumho KW 11), but now I'm traveling quietly on just the rear wheel drive. It drives smoothly at speeds of up to 70 kilometers per hour but does not enter a skid even when the road is covered in snow. The vehicle maintains its traction. I enjoyed it more than Kumho, and I'm content with the purchase overall at this point.
