Tires feel too stiff, good traits only show on heavier vehicles (Largus), on sedans/hatchbacks Lada and Datsun - satisfactory, tire prices increase and this negatively affects the price/quality ratio.

Despite the fact that Ssangyong Action New doesn't have very good sound insulation of the tire tread noise, which was very loud immediately after the tire change, it decreased after the run-in. I ran the tires 500-700 kilometers at a speed of not more than 80 km/h, without sudden acceleration or braking. It holds snow, ice, and curves perfectly! All studs are in place. Handling is no worse than on the Nokias, not at all. A

Excellent tire, OEM treadwear, top-notch tire tread quality, and most importantly "Made in Korea" - that was one of the key criteria for choosing, because even Bridgestone and other well-known brands are made here in Russia, but the quality of course immediately drops compared to the original.

I bought these tires for the Urals winter. This season’s novelty. They excel on snowy roads and behave confidently on icy roads. The tires are soft, with star-shaped tread. There’s regional delivery plus a good price.

I bought tires on this site during summer, they arrived quickly with packaging bags for old tires. Previously I was driving on Nokian (Finnish 4-season) and Continental (German glued rectangular studs). I liked Conti the most - soft, quiet, there were no studs loss at all and this at interstate speed up to 180 km/h. Took Korean ones for a try as there is no sense in putting premium tires on a cheap car. They are okay for the money,

I bought Hankook tires as I've had good experience with them previously. I don't drive on asphalt immediately, I use them on bare ice, groomed snow, as I drive in the city near the sea. I shift into second gear on snow, keep the gas pedal full, tackle deep snow and steep inclines with a lot of camber, jump over logs, hit potholes, and I can tell you that this tire is worth it - predictable in slides, I don't

I stumbled upon Tyres by chance. Budget was limited and being a fan of hacks, I had to make a more affordable choice. I opted for Hankook. This review is based on two winter seasons, with some 35,000 km covered. During the first winter, I had to swap the tyres three times after hitting potholes, but the Hankook tyres survived without a single puncture or sidewall cut. During the second winter, one tyre finally got damaged, but the hole

Fitted with 225/55R17, full-time AWD. Quietest treaded tire I've ever driven with. Summer Bridgestones with run-flats were noisier. Excellent handling on treaded tires in any weather conditions. After 18 summer tires, the car became more "sloppy" during lane changes and turns. This is due to the higher profile and softer compound of the tire. Balanced easily, no tread wear or loss throughout the season. Produced in Korea

Great tire that's value for money. Noise level is at, or slightly below, the Hakkapeliitta 8, and doesn't cause any discomfort. Dry handling is good, wet handling is good on solid 4+, and the ice handling is well predicted, snow finally caught up with it late in the season.

Good tire. Under asphalt, slightly bites on the front during active driving. Under snow, bites and holds firmly, brakes well too. According to tests, it was one of the leaders at the time of purchase, but in reality, for example, Pirelli Formula Ice pleased me more, I have it on the second car, I don't know how it will be with wear resistance, but otherwise Hankook seemed more pleasant.
