Exactly as promised by the manufacturer, high quality.

Cutting for a real winter and for those who regularly travel long distances along peripheral routes or, in extreme cases, to the country, or work in the city and live in the region, then the purchase is one hundred percent justified! If you practically do not leave the city, where they clean relatively well, for example, Hong Kong, then I think some kind of friction tire is better, in the sense that it is not studded .
 Perhaps I will add a review after the fifth season, I'll see how long it takes!)

Pros

Handling on ice, especially braking and corner entry. Predictability under any conditions. Porridge with a slippery surface under it is also useless. Strong sidewall. Holds spikes great! Someone here wrote that they fall out a lot, just surprised . If correctly run in and after 2t. re-balance km, do not trot, of course, and at least keep minus 20 km / h in the summer, then there will be no losses. I'm driving for the third season, 3 spikes are lost in my opinion, two on one wheel, on the other - one is lost, and two wheels are no loss at all!

Cons

Harsh, I specially took the sixtieth profile (summer on the fortieth profile) and other disks for winter, but it feels no softer than summer. Noisy of course, especially on dry pavement, the rumble after 90 km / h is terrible, I even had to make an additional Shumkov. Well, what do you want 190 spikes on each wheel, there can be no miracles here . BUT these shortcomings are leveled when the real winter actually begins for her, she was created. The rumble is almost inaudible, and the rigidity gives controllability over porridge and uneven coverage.
