A good product, I advise you to try it.

In general, I drove on it for about 5000 km from May 12 at the time of writing the review, along Hong Kong roads, highways and broken local in the Hong Kong region. Before these, I had more miserable factory 415s that came from the factory, so they left about 90.000 without problems and were not completely erased. Compared to the 415, it's just different - the 415 rides like it's on rails, but harsh and noisy, with a sense of loss of traction, while the 435 rolls softly and predictably, giving an excessive feeling of complete control and stability. In general, I originally wanted to buy 415 for replacement, but they are no longer available, well, these ones do not lose to them, they are just different and their balance is different .

Pros

- not expensive; - hernias do not appear even with more or less decent impacts on pits at high speeds - hold the road well - drive well in the rain - very soft, before installation, as if made of silicone, but on the go like on springs - good cornering - average water removal - normal braking - the track is normally kept - due to the softness during acceleration, they scroll / slide less, especially noticeable with the start of an uphill movement. - Korean production.

Cons

- noise depends on the asphalt (sometimes very quiet, sometimes just unrealistically loud) - there was a couple of times strange behavior over 120 with a weak but constant side wind, as if they increased the windage and the car strangely pecked to the side, weakly, but extremely unexpectedly. - it is strange to divert water, at 130 and not heavy rain on a freeway, the beginning of a water wedge is not felt, but much less water is diverted through the mirrors, unlike 415, where in general clouds of fine water were like a truck. - with them, the car brakes faster with the engine than with the same 415. Apparently, the rolling resistance is not strong.
