The product is terrible, much below my expectations.

When I bought these tires of dimension 205/55-16, I was assured that there would be no problems with spikes. Apparently Michelin is guided by the principle - "no studs - no problems with studs." Skated a total of no more than 25 thousand km. The operation of the city is basically. After three seasons, everything was in order, I checked it on purpose. After the 4th season, I was horrified that 30-35% fell out, the same number hang out in their seats and are ready to fall out next season. The company claims that it is possible to ride without spikes, they make replies about non-observance of running-in (it is not at all mandatory, as it turns out). BUT, if I did not need spikes, then I would just buy Velcro. After reading about this problem, I realized that I was still lucky that only for the 4th season they began to fly actively. Apparently, the driving style had an effect, since some spikes began to fly out actively after the 1st season.

Pros

Acceptable noise level.

Cons

Spikes fly out. At near-zero temperatures, they become too soft, it becomes very uncomfortable to ride.

Different pros: Very quiet tires, handles well in corners Different cons: Braking is slightly weaker compared to the capelita 8, but the silence in the cabin compensates for everything
