I read the reviews and have the feeling that most of them are about a completely different tire. For me, this is a silent city tire. It rides softly on asphalt, handles well, and you don't hear the studs (unlike the "clicking" of the 5th Hakkapeliitta). Fuel consumption is only slightly higher than in the summer, and this is while the 4L engine's heat is the main reason for increased consumption in the winter. It handles and brakes

Tires are fitted to my wife's Toyota Vitz. Overall opinion, despite some noise, is "excellent." Confident and predictable handling of the vehicle in all winter road conditions, including snow and black ice. Very good braking performance on any road condition. Note that studs do come loose over time, but this does not worsen vehicle handling. I have used many tires in my time - Michelin Maxxis (disappointing), Bridgestone Blizzak MZ (very bad

It's quite satisfactory, it's noisy - well, it's a winter and studded tire, what can you expect! But it grips like a train, my Volkswagen T4 with summer tires couldn't climb a snowy hill, but these tires got a grip on the snow and pulled me out onto flat and smooth ground, they bit through the entire snow cover on the dirt road. Handling, brakes, and everything else are subjective, of course, but I liked them - I'd buy them again

I've been driving for the fourth winter, and I've lost a total of seven studs so far. I think that in this modification, there's a lot of "sticky" effect. When braking on icy roads with slush, the tires themselves brake first, and then the studs come into play.

I've been using them since last Monday, 15.11.2004, on a Peugeot 406 - driving around Kiev and going on a good highway (Obukhov, Boryspil). Not the most comfortable feelings on wet snow, and even on a more stable snow cover with a light frost, the car is still being led. I hope that it's not the tires that are to blame, but my somewhat forgotten skills of winter driving, and everything will fall into
Great stuff!
I've driven through the season, great wheels, rear tires are studded (replaced with summer tires in the spring - all studs are in place). I've driven both in the city and out of town, snow, rain is not a problem, ice is also not scary. Although, to be honest, the car doesn't go faster than 140-145 km/h (Lada, haha), although on summer Rossava tires (will be changing them) I
Super!
Never got stuck anywhere with it! Didn't even think about not being able to get out of a snowbank. Better than TOYO or Michelin Agilis Snow Ice. I've tried both. On dry roads, it behaves like any other winter tire, uncertainly. VW T5.
I liked
Subaru Impreza WRX. Instead of 17-inch disks, I installed 15-inch ones with this tire. The first impression is that the sports car has turned into a Mercedes. Very soft. In deep snow, sitting on the bottom - the tire digs out of the pits. Wet snow with ice, confidently holds 100-120.
Very good!
R15, on the wheels they served 2.5 winters, took without studs, because otherwise there's a problem in Europe, speed on the highway 120-160, depending on the weather. Never let me down. Died from potholes on our roads. Passed a total of 45,000 km. The next ones will be the same!
Pros: optimal for winter
Cons: hum at speedThe best for its money. Conclusion - take it!
I bought it with tires for Skoda, did not regret a single penny spent. The tires are super. What was especially pleasant was the tank-like passability on thawed forest roads in December. So if you're going off-road in bad weather, I highly recommend it too!
Pros: Excellent passability and handling in the city and outside the city at speeds up to 140 km/h
Cons: Studs
