Hello. I bought these tires in November 2016. Made in Japan. I ran them for a season, about 14,000 km. The tire is excellent!!! On any winter tires it behaves wonderfully! It's not eager to get stuck in loose snow, but rather drives slowly. On packed snow, perfect! On a snow and water mixture - also excellent! On dry ice, on dry asphalt, on wet asphalt - speed, braking and car control remains confident and controlled. On ice

Briefly on a 5-point scale:
SNOW -- 5. Grip excellent.
SLEET -- 5. Same as above point.
ICE -- 5. Excellent behavior on ice, very close to Nokian Hakkapeliitta 7 as far as my personal feelings are concerned. Braking and acceleration, as well as handling in a calm mode (not to be confused with “retirement age”) are all top notch. Everything is very

Last winter, I bought the "nitto" tires and was pleasantly surprised by their quality and handling. Excellent handling, quiet throughout the winter and not a single stud came off, despite the vehicle being quite heavy, a Range Rover, almost 3 tons. Very pleased with the price, I would definitely recommend it to anyone. Soft even in "good" minus. Huge thanks for the fast delivery. Excellent company.

I'll immediately state that I've only driven 1000 km on these tires, so I can't say much about wear. All other parameters are perfect +++ As the tires broke in, the noise decreased. Braking is like on ice, on packed snow it's like on asphalt in summer. Acceleration with sudden pressure on the accelerator is smooth on any surface without wheelspin and skidding. Handling is stable up to now. I've previously had Hankook 419 tires, which were awful

In 2018, I bought 2 Nitto NT SPK 205/55/R16 studded tires because of the wear of the old ones. I mounted them in the front, I've been using tires from this brand for a long time - Dura Grappler, NT 860, NT 830. I've also tried Toyo. The Japanese-Malaysian production quality, in my opinion, does not differ. They came from different factories. Why Nitto?

I bought these tires this autumn, with only 500 km on them, so it's too early to assess the pros and cons, but I can say a few things. The tread is asymmetric with a large number of grooves, and the studs are distributed evenly across the width of the tire, from the edge to the center. The tire feels soft to the touch, I don't think it will become hard in cold weather. The tires do not react at all to road imperfections, at

Pros:
- "hit the ground running" without any issues, all tire balloons are perfectly round
- on the first frost I didn't immediately realize I was driving on ice. The car just kept going and going straight
- to engage ABS I had to try really hard
- spun on a empty parking lot at the shopping center: didn't get it right away, but the spin was controlled and predictable
- car handling is medium (acceleration

Over 5000 km were driven on these tires during the 2017-2018 winter season (late October to early April). Overall, great tires, they don't get stuck in the snow or in snowy slush, we never got stuck during the snowstorms. The tires held up to all of the snowstorms: sharp braking, sudden acceleration. The tires held up to everything. They hold the road perfectly, HOWEVER, the potholes are not their thing, you need to be

Excellent tyres. Bought for AUDI Q7, car handles well! Really like the tyres. Affordable and good quality. No tyre blowouts in 3 months of use.
