The product is completely satisfied, performs its functions.

215/55R16 97H XL production 2022, Hong Kong.
Tire with calm reactions, no drive.
Of the features, it should be borne in mind that the mixture and the tread carcass are oak, and the sidewall is very elastic, which affects the sluggish reaction with small steering deviations from zero and the specific reaction to bumps - a trifle passes to the body, the tread does not extinguish it due to rigidity.
Drainage works only on a straight course, when cornering they require attention.
In habits they resemble ContiPremiumContact 2, but adjusted for the fact that Conti has a soft tread, but here it is slippery and hard.

Pros

At the time of purchase in 2022, they were out of competition in price Good drainage, (but tread compound is slippery) Low sensitivity to rutting Excellent geometry and balance Good resource - after one season wear is minimal

Cons

Sensitive to temperature changes - need control / selection of pressure, warming up. Slightly increased noise at speeds of 60-80 km / h. With a chic drainage system, it can glide quite intensively on wet asphalt, because the tread compound is oak, it clings weakly - not the most confident behavior on a wet arc.
