This tire is for regions where snow doesn't fall. I don't know how they write good reviews about this tire. Maybe you've never had a good winter tire. I have anti-lock braking system (ABS), electronic stability control (ESC), and AWD on my car, but even with all that, I didn't feel confident. After 30,000 km, the tread is worn out by 3 mm, and the car is stuck in the snow and won't budge. I

Underperforming on the road when the road surface is icy under a layer of snow, and brake by tread, with ABS kicking in. Otherwise, it's a great value for the money. Not ideal for driving in the snow on a country road.

Tyres not for a snowy winter. Doesn't run well in deep snow (more than 15 cm), also struggles on frost on the road. Ran the whole winter quietly, only because the car has anti-lock and anti-slip. Would have sold this tyre on another car.
If you don't take into account these "winter drawbacks", the tyre is quite good. Silent, inexpensive, aquaplaning is great, almost no wear during the first winter (6,000

Good tires for warm winters
I bought them in mid-November, drove for a month on dry roads - no difference compared to summer tires: the car's behavior hasn't changed, low noise, yesterday a lot of snow fell, that's it, I've been waiting... and so...

Spent three winters with no hassle. Mud and snow are cleared stably (unlike the current Bridgestone Blizzak REVO GZ, which isn't afraid of fresh snow). Drove from Kursk to Ternopil in the winter (snow, snow with rain, rain on ice) - goes stably and predictably. Wore the tire out on 200 km of asphalt on the Sudzha-Kiev road, drove a fully loaded car at 90

The tire performs very well with good comfort. We use one set of tires for 3 seasons without any issues on all roads. And in 2 of them, we actually had a bit of snow 3 winters for us to deal with at the time while driving to work.

Awesome!!!
Firstly, the price attracted me +1. Secondly, it's a very soft and comfortable tire, but at the same time, it doesn't "float" (currently -2 to +3 outside) +2. Thirdly, the rim protection, speed index H +3. On icy asphalt mixed with water, mud, and all the other crap we have on our roads, it just rolls and does its job perfectly, 5 points. Moreover, the brakes

Don't buy if it snows in your region.
I bought the tires very recently and spontaneously. The price of the issue turned out to be VERY advantageous for tires of this size. I drove well, everything was fine, but only until the snow fell. On snowy slush, it's very bad - the tires slip, grind, and when starting, the car throws forward. A small snowdrift - and the car gets stuck. My verdict - a good high-speed tire for

Excellent tires for regions without ice, a fair Europrice! Wet road (asymmetric tread), snowy mush at positive temperatures (tread performs well), dry asphalt at sub-zero temperatures performs well (pleasantly soft rubber). But real ice is not for her!!! Well-balanced. Made in Korea. Always tried to keep the pressure at 2.2 and the wear after four winters has pleasantly surprised me with 70000km!
