It would appear that those individuals who immediately try to anneal it after the purchase, without first running it in and without "shaving" it, are the ones who have left the unfavorable reviews of this rubber. Instead, I anticipate the same level of traction on snow and ice from it as I do from decent winter tires in the winter, which fundamentally cannot be the case. These are brand new tires, and they have a lot of "hair." Even though the gear shifts are quite smooth, the automobile still hovers significantly until these technological hairs are shaved off. Consequently, the initial break-in for these tires is VERY REQUIRED, which entails traveling at speeds of no more than 70–80 km/h, braking and maneuvering smoothly, and avoiding curves at high speeds. After roughly 600–700 kilometers, the tread on my tires began to "shave," and shortly thereafter, I noticed an Amazing improvement in grip. At the conclusion of the break-in and "shaving," these tires hold the road excellently even at 170-180 kilometers per hour, which is where I flew to St. Petersburg on a nighttime paysite (taking into account permanent all-wheel drive). When it comes to its resistance to wear, it won't be feasible to make a determination until the end of winter. The previous third iteration experienced a discernible drop in the number of studs beginning in the second season (when driving vigorously). On versions 2-3, however, the spikes were made of aluminum, and they frequently snapped off rather than being pushed out. These spikes are already made of steel, and they were modeled after those used in battle and rallies; as a result, they should be more powerful and last for longer. There were reviews that said the spikes were crooked or not fully inserted. When I bought the tires, I carefully checked them, and I did not find a single instance of either problem for any of the four tires.
