Regular tires for regular money. Size 185/65 R14. Got them with studs right away. Snow, ice - behaves predictably! No exceptional enthusiasm, light tread wear at hard braking, but gets you out of trouble confidently. Initially was very loud - 300 kilometers. On very slippery ice or packed snow with hard braking, tread wears too early, but NOT CRITICALLY. Disadvantages - some sort of sticky, inertial, fairly heavy, loses acceleration dynamics (especially

While I was away on business, my wife bought me a "Poweda". She was swayed by the salesmen's tales that it was a genuine import with special studs. The tire is indeed a Korean one with completely ordinary studs. The tread pattern reminds me of the Hakkapeliitta 5 and does not promise anything bad. The sidewall stiffness is quite good. In practice, the tire behaves well on dry asphalt, but on ice it's no good, especially in a cross

I have installed four 175/65 14" tires and driven 1500 km without any complaints (although there hasn't been much snow or ice yet). The tire is soft and almost silent. Handling on wet pavement is acceptable. Last season I used Amtel NordMaster ST-310, which is a total disaster and makes a tractor-like noise even at 140 km/h. The tread pattern is virtually non-existent and the car slides on any surface (except for 10-15

Škoda Fabia 2011. Prehistory! Bought these tyres in autumn to be ready for winter in advance. Wanted to buy Michelin, but since they've been made in Russia, I was dissatisfied with the quality, as winter tyres shouldn't be hard as wood in a warm room, but what will they be like in winter... Looked at Bridgestone 7000, cool, but too expensive, didn't have enough money, was advised to buy an import (

I bought this 195/55/R15 tyre and have only driven 150km so far. Handling is excellent on any road (mud, ice, wet asphalt) ABS hardly ever activates (compared to my previous tyre, the "sticky" Yokohama IG20). The one complaint I have so far is that on speeds between 40-60 km/h, it generates an awful roar! There are no complaints about noise at lower speeds, the summer tyre was no quieter. I

I didn’t buy this tire, it was handed down from the previous owner – probably a gift from the dealer (a cheap option at the time).
This tire is very noisy compared to the Yokohama ADVAN A.S-III in the summer. In plus temperature: the car bounces on the road, sways in turns, and without ABS, it is necessary to maintain a safe distance (When braking on asphalt, the wheels lock, and the car continues moving).<

Drove for 3 seasons. Total mileage on the tires is about 60,000 km. 50/50 city (mud, slush, ice and snow) and track (mainly dry asphalt)
After two years, there was 40-50% tread left. After three - a few studs on each tire. The studs do not wear off, they simply fly off.
The tire itself did not wear off. There were hits, the discs have d- Vehicle:

Four seasons drove on Hankook. Soft, quiet tire. Great value for money. Excellent handling and snow traction. All studs in place. Changed the tire a month before snow. 15% of the total winter run was on asphalt. Took another set of the same tire.

The only of the used tires that can be put on the 4th season when driven actively. Fully satisfies when moving on deep snow... . Handles well on wet asphalt.
