Before these tires, I also went to Spikes. It's been 5 seasons and it's time for a change. So I realized that in the Spike-02 SUV model, Japan wanted to make the spikes more stable in the rubber. I was pleased with the past, now I took it without hesitation. Immediately struck by how much the tread pattern has changed. What can I say, having skated one season: a balanced, indestructible tire. All spikes are in place, the tread is not worn. Surface grip is excellent. They wanted to modify the spikes, but they redid almost everything and for the better. It brakes even better than the previous one - the tread was changed for good reason. I love these tires for their indestructibility. If all the spikes remain in place over the coming winters, then Bridgestone will get the highest score from me.
