Good tire! Totally worth it. A bit noisy, but I think it's the tread. But what's most important is safety!

I lasted for 2 winters over 2 years 60,000 km by the third season it was completely cracked, I applied a metal cord, the studs started to fall off, the date of manufacture of the tire is June 2009, I bought it in the fall of 2010, when I removed the tire from the car it was cracked all over inside, the tire was on a Toyota ORA front axle drive.

I bought the tire without knowing much about it. I needed a winter tire with studs, preferably imported one.
Pros:
-The steering becomes very light - this is immediately noticeable.
-Good for snowy porridge and snowdrifts, never got stuck.
-Studs hold well, 25,000 km and still in place.
Cons:
-Does not handle rail tracks well, like a tram on rails, difficult to exit.<- Vehicle:

Bad tyre, but very cheap. I don't think it's possible to drive without experience in winter. I drove one season and sold the car together with it. Now I'm driving on a different tyre, Euro 519, it's like heaven and earth.

I had already left a review about this tire in the Roadstena section.
After switching to it from the Hakkapeliitta, I noted that the tire handles well and has decent cornering stability in winter conditions and drives well on asphalt. However, I had a lot of doubts.
After switching to the Bridgestone completely disappointed. The Nexen tire is like a studded all-season tire with satisfactory characteristics. On the highway, it's quite hazardous, although it has

Refused Continental Winter Contact in favor of Nexen. At +15 switched to Michelin Primacy summer tire and almost flew on a turn. The tire behaves well in most cases. Pros - soft, grippy, holds turns and road well, good braking, snow doesn't get stuck. Disadvantages - louder at speeds approaching 65 km/h and in warm weather brakes with a screech due to high softness, slightly drifts on ice.

There is one major drawback - awful behavior on ice, it's like driving on deflated tires or something is wrong with the suspension, otherwise, the tire is surprisingly balanced in terms of price/quality, and of course, like all winter tires, it smooths out and makes the car's behavior sluggish, like switching to a Bigfoot, there's little noise, it holds snow reasonably well, there's little noise, the studs don't come loose, it was passed down to me from the
