A wonderful product, it's nice to use.

BMW 3 Series F30 body, rear wheel drive.
Parameters - 225/45 R18.
Before that, he skated 5 seasons on Michelin X-Ice North 2.
At the end of March 2022 (I didn’t reach the heat a little) I caught a hole and on one wheel, as expected, a hernia got out, I had to look for a replacement.
In my native Hong Kong, I did not find tires in stock, only in Hong Kong, and there was no time to wait for delivery - I was looking for something that was sold "at hand".
The choice was between Hakka 8th (9th just released, but not yet in R18), and Ice Zero.

I already had experience with Hakka - 5th, on other cars (Volvo XC70, Volkswagen Passat, Toyota Camry). Rubber is generally not bad, but we must pay tribute to marketers - 25-30 percent of the cost is taken from the consumer for the brand.

I had experience in general, and with Pirelli - I went for several seasons on Pirelli Winter Carving, and I liked it then.

Decided - done. I bought a set, it came out to me in my size of 44,000.

Pros

- Perfectly holds a snow-covered road, ice; - Resistant to hydroplaning; - Perfectly balanced; - Adequate price tag; - High index of maximum speed (210 km / h) - not for a winter road pace, but sometimes it happens :)); - Manufacturer's warranty program - Tire Life - replacement of a damaged tire with a new one for free; It’s too early to talk about wear resistance, I drove only 1300 km on it, but in general, the rubber inspires confidence, time will tell.

Cons

So far, probably, only one, as many have noticed here - noise. But! Gentlemen, it is necessary to properly run-in and treat rubber more carefully on the first kilometers of the journey. I ran in at a maximum speed of 80-90 km / h with smooth braking and starts, at first there was a wild noise in the region of 80-90 km / h, then the border of "noise" shifted to an interval of 90-110 km / h, and after 1000 km of running-in, the noise went away by 130-140 km / h , and it seems that it will disappear on that range. I will observe, but the tires have become much more comfortable after the "break-in" stage.
