+ price
+ low noise.
+ made in 2022. Someone will laugh, but I see in this only an impact on point 1 (price)
The clatter of spikes is only at walking speeds, and a little further they are not audible at all. The clatter of Michelin x-ice 4 was heard up to at least 50 km / h
The howl of the tread, similar to an airplane engine, which I heard before from ALL winter tires that I used, is almost inaudible on our standard (lays in most cases) asphalt, this is a phenomenal result. There is a feeling that you are generally riding in the summer! Yes, a little howling is heard. But compared to its competitors, one can say that it is not at all. There is only one case when you can clearly pay attention to the howl of the tread: when you leave on a smooth patch of asphalt, which is fresh and even in rainy weather like a mirror. On it, any rubber is quiet, because it is the roughness of the asphalt that actually makes the main contribution to the noise background inside the car, if we are talking about tire noise, which is the main one. So, on smooth new asphalt, any rubber does not make noise, even such a disgusting one as Nexen. And when you go to such a site, then in the general silence you can clearly hear the howl of the protector Gislaved. But the joke is that smooth asphalt in our country can be found only a few short times a year, and then this smooth one quickly turns into ordinary, noisy. So 99.9% of the time, in the noise of ordinary asphalt, you will hardly hear the rumble of the tread typical for winter tires. And it's truly kayfovo, if you compare my past suffering in the winter.
