Everything is relative to everything else. After five years of spikes, I put it away, and now it's much quieter, and the handling is normal. Have driven during all five seasons. After winter's end, I purchased some winter Bridgestone Blizzak Vrx tires. After they left, there was a significant difference: the rumble of the asphalt could be heard, the steering wheel had gotten heavier, and the response to the gas seemed to indicate that the car was loaded. Perhaps they are becoming older, considering that the sixth year has already passed. At the age of 40, one can already hear it very clearly. I am aware that after Velcro they are more difficult, but I replaced the winter one late, and I would ride it further because it didn't float, and it was suitable for most people. Now I want something that has the warmth and ambiance of summer. 5 seasons with very little wear, each running 7 kilometers. No punctures, cuts, no difficulties. It is in the realm of possibility to recommend. However, if you are accustomed to wonderful things, you will not see the difference to be in their favor. 185/65 r14 vw golf 3
