Great tires, especially in harsh snowy winters. Stands on RAV4 205/65/16, Region of operation, Sverdlovsk region. The first winter I skated perfectly, I didn’t notice any particular minuses, I always rowed confidently, and slowed down perfectly. All spikes are in place. City-highway no problem. Very often I had to travel to the north of the region, roads rarely poured there, the tires were confident. This winter, I changed my shoes a little earlier than usual, already in the snow at the end of October, but the snow melted after 2 days and a minus was immediately found in the form of a rumble with the clatter of the whole variety of spikes on the asphalt. On the highway, it’s very, very little more than 110 to drive on bare dry asphalt, although the car is partially glued. Although there are a lot of reviews that she is supposedly quiet, either I have a very irritable ear, or they overpraise. At first I thought about the first one, but this year they put the same tire on the service Skoda Octavia, and the effect is the same, the rumble on the asphalt is like in a Boeing, the noise in it is worse, it’s just not comfortable on the highway. Draw your own conclusions. In general, I would recommend this rubber to regions where there is a lot of rainfall and a minimum of bare asphalt. Most of the reviews written apparently immediately after the acquisition, for some kind of marketing campaign from Michelin. Consider gentlemen.

Pros
  • - grips well on ice - well removes water in positive temperature, does not float - soft, swallows holes well, the joints pass very gently, even compared to the summer Michelin - brakes well even without ABS
Cons
  • - noisy on bare asphalt - Expensive, but everything is relative - floats a little, sometimes you have to catch the wheel
