I took it in the fall, drove through the winter. From all wheels, the loss is one spike (on each 250, if anything). The rest of the spikes and tread are in excellent condition. Mileage about 10 thousand for the winter. Driving style is more relaxed. It makes noise, of course (studded tires cannot help but make noise), but relative to others (and not cheap ones) it is much quieter, the size of the spikes (small) affects here. I have experience riding hacks up to 8 inclusive, Pirelli, bridges. I liked the bear the most.
