The hexagonal studs do not provide an advantage over other stud shapes, and in some cases are even outperformed by non-studded tires on ice. At high speed, the vehicle abruptly goes into skidding, with the rear axle being particularly problematic.

Over the past few years, the main problem with these tires has been the quality of the studs. The studs are seated too deep in the tread and therefore do not function properly. On snow, the vehicle accelerates the worst, and on the highway, it constantly skids due to lack of traction. The directional tread pattern has proven to be ineffective, and on snowy-watery slush, they lose grip earlier than others.

The advertisement claims that "the rubber compound of the tread of these tires has inclusions of organic material based on nut shells". Then everything converges: they are not worth "eaten shells".
