Not perfect quality, some small defect.

Installed on SGVN 2.4AT. Rolled carefully last March. All this winter on it. Do not care about the noise, there are already enough bugs. Bought for the everyday combination of village-road-city in the conditions of the Ural winter. I'm not a racer, but I lost my first spikes back in October. By February, he looked again: dear mother! In loose porridge, the steering wheel must be turned, and then partially returned so that the turn does start (funny, but dangerous in the first place). In loose…

Pros
  • Driving on fresh, incl. 20-centimeter snow - handling "like on rails", rulitsya easily and safely, literally with one finger.
Cons
  • Lost up to 40% of spikes per season. Not friendly with ESP at all. In an icy rut, snow porridge, slush - uncertain, like a pioneer on execution. Understeer/lag on loose snow. Hydroplaning is also present, but on a moderate scale.

I bought this particular model - goodyear ultragrip ice arctic 185/65 r15 88t, before that there was Gislaved Nord Frost 5 185/65 R15 92T XL If there is even a little bit of snow on the road, the car simply carries. It’s scary to enter turns even at a speed of 20 km / h! Always carries the car. CONSTANTLY! Soft gas from a place on a front-wheel drive Kia Rio at a traffic light - the car carries anywhere. Noisy like hell, even after proper break-in. I say this after I skated 4.5 years on…

Pros
  • On bare ice, yes, braking is excellent. But that's where all the goodness ends. Because driving on this rubber is just scary.
Cons
  • The car carries through the snow all the time, not only in a rut. The car just floats in the snow in an arbitrary direction. Snow is not recommended for this tire.

I recommend to buy, the product is of high quality.

before this rubber I went to Nordman 4, the experience of breeches, Michelin, Dunlop, Kumho. If we compare Kumho and Nordman 4. I actually expected more from buzzers, most likely in the spring I will throw it into ebay and return to Nokia, it is time-tested, but on Goodyear let them travel in Europe in their arctic winters. PS spikes are all in place, most likely due to the fact that we do not clean the roads to the asphalt. Audi A6.

Pros
  • regular winter tires are no worse and no better than the rest
Cons
  • on the rolled ice, not any, it throws it out of the rut, at first it made noise after 500 km, the noise disappeared, or maybe I got used to it.

Auto Chevrolet Cruze, 205x60 16. On asphalt, these tires perform well. You drive them confidently with heavy braking, you can hear how the "scratches" crunch, the car stops quickly. I don’t feel the track, it doesn’t allow drifts and drifts. On ice, it behaves almost like on asphalt, there are no drifts or drifts. The noise level will suit me, it is average, but at a speed of 120 km / h there is such a noise, as if you were not in a car but on a Boeing, and now there will be a lift off the…

Pros
  • Holds the car well on asphalt and on ice.
Cons
  • Doesn't do well in loose snow.

Perfect product for any user!

Used size 215/70/R16 100T SUV on Renault Duster 2.0 4x4 since autumn 2022. No problems. I will ate the review after the end of the 1st season of this set of tires. (Before that, on Logan, in size 195/65/R15 91T XL, skated for 1.5 seasons, I really liked the tires, good for front-wheel drive, I didn’t get stuck already.) It balances well, light tires, regular pressure of 2 kg, spikes and now everything is in place (I looked at the lift), made in Germany. Mileage on the Duster in this size is

Pros
  • The first 50 km you ride like on "claws", the spikes click on the dry. Tread noise like from a gear for the first 500 km with a decrease to 1000 km of run. The spikes fall into place and you can’t hear them anymore, like from new. Confidence and tenacity of rubber appears closer than 250 km. Excellent road holding, good directional stability, rolling, start from a standstill in the ice hill. Now it is quiet, it releases spikes when braking, you can hear it right away. On snowy porridge, excellent cross-country ability, leaving the rut is no problem. Fresh deep snow, ice, very comfortable. I recommend. (I used this on Logan, the same driving experience.)
Cons
  • In some stores, they began to "ache" the price, at the level of hacky 8.

The perfect product for any user!

Size 205*55*16 made in Poland, car Focus-3, mileage 2.5-3 thousand km 50/50 city-highway. again - the answer is YES! With its pros: Previous tires Goodyear Ultragrip 500 - seven seasons (!) of operation, 50% lost studs, so there were no questions about the brand of the next tires. Very good grip on almost any surface: asphalt, snow, ice. Excellent value for money. Compared to similar Dunlop rubber quality is noticeably better. Its cons: Noisy at the beginning of operation, the first 1-1.5…

The product is good, there are only a few minor flaws.

Do not trust the comments left by tire users. After all, everything is known in comparison. What are the people who write reviews here comparing to? With tires that were last winter on another car? Read better tire tests in automotive magazines, better than European ones, and draw your own conclusions. Well, who is too lazy to read, I can briefly tell you that these tires appeared last year and immediately showed the best performance among competitors in the "braking" nomination due to the…

Pros
  • Short braking distance on ice and snow, high efficiency.
Cons
  • Low grip in the transverse direction (early demolishes in corners), not stable quality.

No complaints, I recommend to buy.

I bought a used mileage of about 1500 km, the price is 11000. The next day, the 2022 Honda Civic hybrid car changed shoes, immediately adjusted the wheel alignment, drove out into the street, was surprised by the noise like in a helicopter, but a month later it was not very comfortable to drive on asphalt in our climate, it is better to put in December.

I rarely write reviews in the market, but this time I decided to write. By the end of winter, I had to change tires, because on the old (3 seasons) Continental WinterViking 2 tires, after hitting a hole on the track, a serious hernia came out. Now for the feeling. Considering that knee-deep March snow fell in the Hong Kong region, the conditions for testing new rubber are the most favorable - snowdrifts, drifts, ice. The first impression is unequivocal - delight. Despite the weather conditions,

Pros
  • Excellent cross-country ability - bites into ice, snow. Exchange rate stability, adequate behavior in a rut. Excellent acceleration and deceleration. For all the main parameters of driving safety - I put all fives.
Cons
  • Noisy. Perhaps after running it will become quieter, but this is not the most important thing. In my opinion, winter tires should first of all perform their basic functions.

Matches the description completely, very satisfied.

Departure for the third season in Hong Kong, on all wheels it took 2-3 spikes for all this time. I operate 215/65/16 in Qashqai. Despite the fact that the sidewall is as thick as a bicycle tire, one morning I got into the car and drove, I did not understand why the food was bad. I drove a couple of kilometers, they told me at a traffic light that the rear wheel was flat. Despite the fact that I was riding on a rim, the rubber was not torn, not worn. Fortunately, there was a tire fitting nearby,

Pros
  • Strength
Cons
  • Noisy, although I may find fault, as this is my first studded rubber.

Previously, there was experience of using it on previous cars, the dimensions r13, r15 on viburnum and Mazda troika - it was absolutely fine, in the amount of 235x50r18 I took the price-quality ratio, in general I got what I wanted, I am absolutely satisfied. I recommend - for this money the optimum, well, of course, it is preferable for regions with snow in winter

Pros
  • A strong cord, excellent driving qualities on snow porridge, rulitsya well.
Cons
  • In the off-season, at temperatures above +5, it becomes a little loose, but this is more likely not a drawback. Didn't notice anything else.

A wonderful product, its nice to use.

So, I bought this rubber at a price of 3650r per cylinder. Prior's car. Never used Velcro and didn't take the risk this time. Every time I buy new studded tires I am convinced that I did the right thing. Velcro for those who drive on cleared roads in the city, and nothing more. And given that public utilities do not have time to cope with the snow, then in the city it is not relevant now. Drove 1500 km on asphalt. Rubber is quite noisy, but not critical as some describe. I ran in the first 250…

Pros
  • Very tenacious, if there is 10 cm of snow, then you are the king of the road. Due to the softness of bumps and pits, I pass more confidently, it feels like I put the suspension softer.
Cons
  • Noise. It cannot be called a disadvantage, because. there is no winter studded tires that do not make noise.

Just a terrible product, very upset.

I don’t know who tested this rubber there, in the tests “behind the wheel” in the first places, I was seduced, bought and horror. It snowed today, I drove 40 km along an uncleaned track, 5 cm of snow is a nightmare, the previous cordians, if compared, were just lovely, more than 60 km on an uncleaned track with a small layer of snow, the car was simply thrown from side to side, not directly I could drive, it’s just not possible to somehow drive in a straight line, I thought the cordiant was…

Pros
  • No
Cons
  • Noisy on pavement, in turns, even in smooth ones, the tire is crushed, the car kind of twists the ankle, there is no directional stability after 100 km, you need to steer all the time on the pavement, it’s just awful in the snow, the snowy road up to 80 on a straight line is nothing like an uncleaned place, when rebuilding, the car starts to take down a lot, it's scary to drive.

Good time everyone. I want to share my opinion about this rubber. I decided to buy this brand because I watched the tests and I liked everything. This rubber was practically not inferior to Nokian Hakka7. Skated more than one season, all the super maxim 2-3 spikes lost during the entire period of operation is an indicator. And it's time to change the car. Accordingly, I did not think about buying shoes. I bought it myself. And after the winter for me was of course a shock. On each wheel, more…

Pros
  • Not noisy
Cons
  • bad spike. Less than 50% of spikes left after season 1

I am delighted, the product is really worthy.

I liked the rubber, after running it became noticeably quieter. Spike loss: front -2 and -4, back everything is in place. True, I dashed off on rubber for only 3000 km (the second car), the coating is mainly asphalt, city, slush. In the snowy porridge, it was somehow impossible to check. On a snow-covered track, it holds confidently. Unlike Nordman 4, it does not float at temperatures > +10. Lots of hard starts. My wife annealed a couple of times when starting uphill (I even got sick of pity…

Pros
  • all the same, it rolled on and calmed down, strong spikes, does not float at high temperatures, an interesting recognizable tread pattern and spikes :)
Cons
  • the first 1000 km is very, well, very noisy, not cheap

I do not recommend spending my money on this.

I bought five new wheels with disks (one for the spare tire) 185/60 R15, the tires are light, soft, predictable behavior of the car on the road, BUT ! for two winters I threw out three tires (one with a hernia, the other two - breakdowns of the sidewalls) is afraid of blows and insignificant, as it always seemed to me, holes in the nearest suburbs. For 12 years of experience, this is the first time I have come across such a weak tire, while I had the experience of buying Goodyear winter tires…

Pros
  • good price, good grip
Cons
  • VERY weak sidewall (for good roads)

It functions perfectly, nothing unusual.

- Dimension 195/65R15, Poland, date - 23 weeks. 13; - operation on Octavia A5 1.4t + dsg; - the period of operation from autumn 2022 to spring 2022 - 6 seasons; - mileage per season is approximately 4 thousand. Km - total 24 thousand. km for 6 seasons; (total car mileage for winter and summer is about 65 thousand km) - driving style - neat, antibuks present. But there were late tire changes; - tread residue 7.5-8.0 mm - practically not worn out; - the rest of the spikes 10-30%; - used kit sold…

Pros
  • Characteristics correspond to the price and year of the tire. Various tests have confirmed this over and over again.
Cons
  • Poor spike design. Insufficient fixation of the stud in the tire.

I put this rubber on and was unpleasantly surprised how the car keeps dry asphalt at a speed of 100-120 km / h (before that, the Bridgestone Ice Cruiser 5000 kept dry asphalt better) the car floated and did not hold the road. The problem was partially solved by increasing the tire pressure to 2.2 atm became tolerable, the car began to work hard on asphalt joints. I think here the spikes play their role as if they create some kind of pillow. The tires are noisy but tolerable, you drive like on…

Pros
  • Normal rubber, very soft
Cons
  • Noisy, does not hold dry pavement well

The purchase is a failure, very unhappy.

Rubber is generally excellent, given the low price, it is probably the best choice, but there are limitations: it does not like high speeds and bad roads. for one trip to a distant castle brought a hernia on two wheels, high tires 215/65R16. I checked the pressure before leaving. Now they removed the wheels, the disks are even, that is, there was no super shock. And after talking with the sellers, I was finally convinced that bad roads are contraindicated for this rubber.

Pros
  • Everything is fine on snow and ice, everything is decent on porridge, but not perfect. The sound from the spikes almost disappeared after about 1000 kilometers after purchase. All the spikes are in place, the mileage is now about 15 thousand km on this rubber
Cons
  • The car "carries" on dry asphalt, the feeling is similar to driving on underinflated wheels, it does not affect the management in any way, but the feeling is not pleasant, now I'm used to it. And now the real jamb, this rubber has a VERY WEAK sidewall.
