The history of Velcro purchases is extremely fascinating. When it was time to get a new winter resume, I decided on and ordered a studded Nokian at a well-known shop, took the necessary funds, and went to make the purchase. I started to wonder on the way to the store, "Well, maybe these spikes are nafig and take Velcro." What justifications exist "for" Velcro? Because there are no constantly flying spikes, there is no need to rebalance every one to two seasons; there is also no need to count "how many spikes did I lose" at the beginning and end of the season; there is no noise (obviously); and there is no need to adapt for the weather forecast. Relax, we'll change our shoes beforehand. This is due to the ease with which Velcro rolls on asphalt when the temperature is above zero. You'll feel like a cat on the ground if you're on spikes. 5. Spikes are clearly harsher on clean ice. But. Where in your city were you able to find "clean ice" when traveling? PGS is liberally applied to the roadways, and snow marks or compacted snow are present in the yards. The spikes/velcro work the same on snow and compacted snow; 6. Braking and acceleration on pavement are better. 7. Any studded tire begins to lose studs after two seasons. This type of spike gets significantly worse than Velcro when 30% of the spikes are removed. This is due to the worsening rubber composition, tread pattern, and sipe properties of the studs, which is why "Velcro" is referred to as "thorns without thorns". Justifications for this Nokian: According to evaluations, it is: 1. Quieter than other Velcro; 2. Has a good self-cleaning herringbone tread pattern; 3. Has several deep, sturdy lamellas; - One other thing: keep in mind where 95% of traffic delays occur. It is made of ice and is covered in snow. Any monodrive will experience issues in such circumstances, spikes or no spikes. Because the snow on the ice is too dense, the spikes cannot penetrate it and cannot stick to it. You can see how the rubber "sticks" to the snow in the photograph where I drove through clingy snow in a parking lot. Such snow will soon fly off when driving on asphalt or slipping, so don't worry about it here.
