I ran through the reviews and was slightly amazed at the musical ear of many owners! They can hear the differences in sounds from the tires by several decibels while on the go. This is impressive! I felt ashamed, because I couldn't even finish music school. So, about the quietness, if the car windows are closed, you can hear the sound: "shhhhh...", and if you open the windows, you can't hear the tires in the city at all, because other sounds drown them out! This is regarding decibels (dB). The coupling properties when braking/accelerating are quite good, as there was no understeer/skid. This is despite the fact that it snowed with rain for about five days in the fall and I drove through slush, but I don't recall having to emergency brake or accelerate! The tread depth is visually greater than on the "Continental" tires that were installed on the new car from the factory. In general, I liked the tires!

Purchased a new Sonata VII 2.4 R18 at an auto salon. Went 360 kilometers on asphalt in November, course stability was excellent even at 130. The noise is very quiet, that's a plus. Recently there was a thin ice layer, and it worked well, but if there was a layer of ice on the sides or a slight rut, the car would slide, and if the rut was even slightly wider, it would throw you off course.

I haven't tested them in snow really, as it's been so long since it snowed around here. However, the ice is a different story, as it's almost every morning. The tires are performing perfectly. They've saved me multiple times from hitting pedestrians who aren't paying attention. They're doing a good job on unpaved roads too. People say they slip, but I haven't had that problem. If you drive aggressively with the gas pedal all the way to the floor, any

Good tread for a low price. Already driven for two seasons. The tires hold the road exactly, they glide nicely through snowdrifts. There are no jolts when driving over potholes and ruts. I also note that the tires are relatively quiet compared to the ones I had before. For me, that's a special point – I don't like extra noise.

Normal tire for its price, studs do not shed. Holds the road. Sometimes, indeed, it "floats" in wet snow. In the rain, normal.

Excellent tire! Almost silent even with studs. No jet plane takeoff effect. Performs well on ice, no worse on dry and wet asphalt. Can't say much about snow yet, but the temperature has already dropped to -16 degrees. Reacts decently to potholes, while maintaining its shape with no blisters or deformation. Time will tell how it behaves in deep snow and on a snow-covered road. So far, in comparison with overhyped Conti's, any others,

The first day on studded tires, after slick tires it seems louder, but I thought it would be worse, but everything is within reasonable limits.
However, black ice is not scary, it steers, brakes completely without problems.- Vehicle:

Quality is fully meets expectations. All tread blocks have remained in place throughout the season. Well holds ice on the road. One of the best price/quality ratios.

I spent a long time choosing winter tires for my new car because I'm from the North. I drove a whole season in Moscow, and a trip to the South in Krasnodar, and I never regretted my choice! The car handles itself admirably and confidently on both snow and ice and on asphalt with puddles!

Good tire. I'm satisfied with the purchase. So far, I've driven a bit, but the impression of the tire is quite complete. The car brakes and steers. The tread noise is not too loud. Overall, a great tire, I'm satisfied with the purchase. I highly recommend it.
