Dimension - 255/60/R17
Experience - one season (approx. 10000 km)
Drawbacks: by spring, 30-40% of tread on the driving wheels was worn out; extremely aggressive, can be said that causes skidding; poorly brakes on dry asphalt; noisy; unstable on straight roads. Advantages: holds ice, also normal on snow. Summary: weak tire, does not recommend to purchase.- Vehicle:

This tire is complete trash, honestly. It's been winter and it still can't hold the road at all, forget about ice. In turns it slams when you brake, it's useless. It's like driving on summer tires, like a cow on ice. I paid a lot for this and it's not even worth it. Japanese tire, complete trash. But if you're driving a 4WD, it's normal, but you can drive on it with summer tires too. I

You guys who don't know what tires are and have this notion of coolness on the road... I can only say one thing to you – tires haven't been invented yet. Buy yourselves some brains, not a license plate. As for the tires: I ride a Lada 2106 with these tires, those very "Yokohama Guardex F700Z", and it's not the only one with such traction. I drove it through fields with snow up the exhaust

Hi! The tyres behave well and predictably only on dry asphalt and slightly worse on frozen and compacted snow. They stop normally in these conditions.
On a slightly snowed road (slightly drifted) with freshly fallen snow, at an air temperature of -3°C, the car starts to skid at speeds over 80 km/h. With freshly fallen snow on the asphalt, 1-3 cm thick, at a speed over 40 km/h the car is led into a

Super tire for the money. I've been driving it for the fourth season on my KIA 2.0 4WD. Asphalt (40% of the total mileage), and ice/snow (60%): it rides perfectly on any road, and as of now, I've had 30% wear on the studs. Whoever writes that the tire is trash, simply doesn't know how to drive - you need to replace the spacer between the steering wheel and seat. )

I actually have an Albea, it just wasn't listed. Don't blame this tire, it's pretty good. The only drawback is that it's very noisy. However, it does great on icy and snowy roads and pushes through snowdrifts well. I've seen cars stuck on the same road many times, and I even managed to get around them by turning my vehicle around. It doesn't lock up on ice with the brake pedal all the way down? Then it's not

Unsuccessful model, extremely, extremely and once again extremely noisy! But this is not the worst part, the main thing, and the most important thing, is that it is not safe to drive on these tires, both on snow and on asphalt.
The car loses power, and as a result, you have to press the gas harder, which leads to a 10-15% increase in fuel consumption.
I drove into a ditch on these tires and crashed my car

Pros: price, quality (almost all studs are still in place after 2 seasons)
Cons: 1. noise (due to studs?) 2. had an off-track experience on wet, but packed snow 3. on ice, when entering a turn, the car continued moving straight (maybe due to high speed?).
Conclusion: it's frightening to drive on our winter roads.- Vehicle:

I was disappointed specifically, on the first day of operation (without snow), my mood was terribly spoiled because of the noise, as if I was driving on an Ikars, not on a Camry, further more, on snow it goes straight for now, but power is significantly lost, during maneuvers it skids, the car drives with difficulty, I drove 500 km and 20 percent of the studs are gone. AWFUL TIRE, I'm selling it cheap, my wife has

On a wet road, snow is fine, but on ice it's terrible, it skids even at 20-30 km/h in the courtyard. Got into an accident, hit the ice, braking hard, the car slides like on skates, can't stop. That's why I don't recommend.
