I would recommend it to people who are particularly concerned about their ability to run cross-country, as well as people who live in the private sector or in rural locations (and are frequently required to face winter barriers). I do not advocate owning a car to someone who uses it primarily in the city. With its positives being: Sturdy sidewall. Resistance to wear and tear. Patency. Spikes with the right kind of break-in, hang on with some pride. Got cons: Particularly when walking on the pavement. Previously went to the Gislaved NF200 spike., the latter is significantly more quiet (one of the quietest among the spike.). I used to think that the Nordman 4 was the most noisy, but the Pirelli I Zero is just as loud. When compared, the Nordman 7 is noticeably more quiet, albeit not by an excessive amount.
