What a great disappointment!
I bought this used tire in a fairly good condition and no more than 3 years from the production date. Since I planned to drive from Sochi to the mountains of Krasnaya Polyana, I didn't pay attention to the studs. The road is cleaned regularly, and there's no significant snow for most of the season. In short, it's 0 to +5 degrees Celsius. And what did I get? It brakes AWFULLY on a wet highway. Acceleration is also poor. It's quite noisy compared to Nokian WRG2. On packed snow, it crawls along moderately, and on fresh snow, if you drive carefully, there are no surprises. On ice, there's absolutely no grip. I was lucky to stay on the road once when I hit an icy stretch of road in Kuban, thanks to warnings from oncoming cars.
I didn't drive aggressively on it, but driving at speeds over 110 km/h was completely unappealing)))
On gravel, it collects small rocks, and the clattering noise lasts for a long time even after returning to asphalt. I had 3 punctures over the last season, so I'll be replacing them. I need something more reliable.
In general, I've driven through 3 short southern winters, and each time I was thrilled to switch to summer tires, as I was happy with the adequate reaction of the tires to the road surface.

I've driven through two winters and one summer, and now I'm driving through winter again, planning to buy the same ones.
They handle the road perfectly, there's no noise, no skidding, I wanted to drift but couldn't due to the tread pattern. Reliable, probably the best that could have been thought up. Fully matches the description. I drove to the nearest tire shop on a deflated tire, nothing happened to it. I recommend.

Excellent choice, considering the price-quality ratio.
Its functions, the tires perform at 100%.
But be prepared that at speeds above 100 km/h it will be noisy.- Vehicle:

I bought these tires 8 years ago, installed them only for winter, and they handle snow like a tank, never getting stuck anywhere, I would have continued driving on them, but 8 years take their toll, they've cracked, although the tread is still good, if you're a "racer)))" then these aren't for you, excellent tires in my opinion.

No issues. Was on the track, was on snow and ice. Quality is normal. I guess it depends on how much you deflate it. I deflate on the track as per the placard. In the city 2.2

Good winter studded tyres with balanced operational characteristics and excellent price performance in Mosavtochina store. The 50% discount on tyre mounting offered by the salesperson was a nice addition to the purchase. I picked them up in St. Petersburg on Mineralnaya 6; the store has a tyre changing facility. Not my first purchase of tyres. Made in Korea but allegedly studded in Russia. All of the tyres date from 2019. This year, tyres have an additional marking (
