Good tires

225/40-18
I got it from the previous owner. New, but with bulges on the front wheels. I thought the owner was a rough driver, but no.
The tire is extremely poor at withstanding impacts. The slightest impact - a bulge. A stronger impact - a punctured sidewall. Since the set was several months old, I replaced the damaged tires with new ones and they almost immediately got bulges.
In winter, everything is fine with it, in terms of handling, there's nothing to complain about. It holds very confidently, it's quiet. But only in winter with snow and minus temperatures, on ice, like any studded tire, it's useless.
In spring, it's almost impossible to drive on it. Aquaplaning and ABS triggering on regular wet asphalt will be your companions, as well as bulges.
I'll sell it by next winter and forget it like a bad dream.

I was less impressed by them in the snow than I was with my first outing for winter tyres though even in a Clio 1.4 with Nokian WR G2 tyres. However, they did work well for the high torque of the car. Normal driving feels a bit soft, but again, it is actually quite good.
