Just super, the product is made wonderfully, very satisfied.

I was specially waiting for winter and snow to check how it behaves - it’s good in the city, even when there is porridge, a little ice and rolled snow, but you need to be careful. In moderate frost it does not tan, in a strong one did not go. When driving off asphalt in winter, there are difficulties with icy or rolled roads with elevation changes and slopes - it is better to change shoes.

Pros

Versatility, wear resistance, strong, comfort, appearance. Worth Tiguan II 4x4 in dimension 235x55r18 speed index V. Departure on her summer season and a bit of winter. The first is the appearance - it immediately sunk into my soul, it looks a little brutal with a beautiful sidewall)). Secondly, it is a truly versatile tire, excellent driving performance on any road. You can safely move off the asphalt without worrying that there will be severe problems. Strong sidewall with curb protection. Managed to ride it on almost all surfaces. The rubber is quiet for its pattern, the nuance is in shortcomings. It behaves perfectly on the pavement, it even managed to catch emergency braking - it did not disappoint. Very comfortable rubber, small, most nasty joints practically does not notice. I keep the pressure a little lower than the recommended one (2.2 instead of 2.3). . The rubber is soft - you don’t drive on it, it is designed more for comfortable movement, and not for sharp maneuvers. But how she rides on the dirt road is just a fairy tale. This tire is the king of primers, I don’t even slow down when the asphalt ends, there is almost no difference (if there are not deep enough bumps, even considering that the tigi has a stiff suspension), it amazingly swallows small stones and sand. It goes well in the mud, but there are problems with leaving the rut - you need to rev properly (this despite the fact that the more asphalt yokohama geolandar suv g055 that I had on my previous Tiguan got out of such places with surprising ease). Here they write that it is poorly cleaned - it is perfectly cleaned of dirt and clay, you just need to turn off the esp sometimes and rev it well;)) Small stones get stuck in the tread - yes. Perfectly copes with a dry rocky surface, where the yoka passed, wet grass. I rode on sharp stones - not a single scratch (I made my way on the yoke with difficulty, and after that I was all pokotsana and even had a cut). There is a nuance - when I put it on a wider disk - it became a little harder.

Cons

Price, workmanship (wtf michelin?). In fact, the biggest drawback is the price, the rest is tolerable: Fuel consumption is slightly increased, by about 0.5 - 1.0 l compared to the factory highway in urban mode (extra-urban ~ 0.3 l). There is a nuance in terms of noise - at a speed of about 60-70 km it hums (I sin on quality), but at a speed above 100 it is almost inaudible, and the higher the speed, the less stressful noise. It seemed to balance normally, but visually on 2 disks out of 4 - eight (hence, presumably, the rumble at a certain speed) When I had a 2022-made jetta on michelin primacy - not a single complaint, but these French and quality problems. Creaking when cornering at high outside temperatures
