In my opinion, the tires are of excellent quality, before that I drove Nokian Nordman 4 spikes and Dunlop Graspic DS 3 compared to them, handling is more stable, the car does not throw as it was on Dunlop Graspic DS 3. The machine does not grind. There were some problems with Nokian Nordman 4 on the hill, such as the Troika cafe on Boevaya street. I drive a Mark 2 in a 90-93 body. As for the noise, honestly I don’t hear it, and what kind of spike will not make noise
