Full compliance with the manufacturers assurances, high quality.

My IMHO - in the era of globalization, all goods in the same price group have approximately the same level of consumer properties. Marketing difference. Therefore, reviews like "The best winter tires I have ever ridden" and "The worst tires" are brushed aside at the start.

235/60/R18. The rubber is clear, worth the money, but this is as of November-December 2022 in Hong Kong. The real winter will come - I will write separately.

01/10/2022: Well, winter has come. On New Year's Eve, the first good snow fell. I went to the country on a no-man's road after a snowfall (rolled otpalirovanny snow). Handling and braking with a bang! As expected, snow and ice are the elements of this tire. Clear control, direction holds, braking is excellent.

Pros

I’ll make a reservation right away - now, on the eve of New Year 2022, it’s useless to wait for a full review from 2022 buyers living on the Central 2022 Upland! There is no snow in the cities, the temperature is struggling with 0 degrees Celsius! These studded tires in the city on clean asphalt have the following advantages: - moderate noise. Do not believe the comments that they are not noisy. people are either impressionable, or the music is full, or marketing. But they are slightly less noisy than the Nokian SUV 5 and noticeably quieter than the Toyo OpenCountry. But even with good Shumkov, there is this rumble closer than 100 km and its rhythmic howl. BUT there are no spikes without this symptom. - 2 months on asphalt on a Honda C-RV K24 and all the spikes are in place. I think this is a good indicator. - good rolling resistance. Despite the studded tread and soft rubber, this model starts from a traffic light without much "thoughtfulness". That's all for now. I'll write it off later when the real 2022 winter comes.

Cons

To be honest, succumbing to marketing, I expected a lower noise level. Although all my life I drive only on studded tires in winter, I thought, well, that's it. There is noise, but lower than that of the previously operated Nokian SUV 5 and Toyo OpenCountry. No other shortcomings were noticed. The real winter will come - we'll see.
