I bought them primarily for their authentic look. I had no expectations regarding their performance, as they are old diagonal tires. The first surprise was during balancing - they spin perfectly smoothly. The second surprise was when I drove - the softness, all the small bumps like gravel disappear in the tires; acceleration improved due to the narrow tires, and the steering wheel is easier to turn. In short, on a classic car, they are only a plus compared to modern tires. But after standing still, I discovered a nuance of diagonal tires - the tread sinks in the contact area with the surface, and when you start moving, there is vibration, the tire needs to be "rolled out". I put it back on the balancer to check the rotation. All the evenness is gone) They wobble from side to side. I took it for granted. With the onset of cold weather, I delayed the tire change, as the tires have some kind of A/T pattern and drive acceptably even in small snow. They are very loud). For the next winter season, I will buy Barnaul AI168U. So that both summer and winter would be authentic) Conclusion: for old classic cars, in villages, and on dirt roads, they are perfect! 5 points to the Barnaul plant for producing classic tires, although all their other products under the Nortec and Professional brands are just bad.
