Случаи. В -20 на укатанном снегу превратившеся в полу ледяное покрытие ведет себя лучшим образом, экстренное торможение можно сравнить с летними шинами.

Безопасность. При экстренных ситуациях, в момент когда происходит испуг повреждения, всегда шина совместно с системами безопасности вывозит и предотвращает пришествие.

Комфорт. По звуку, данный экземпляр ни как не проявляется громче летних, по крайне мере при обкатке летнего комплекта, шум был замечен, а на зимнем комплекте не обращаешь внимание на шум, потому как его нет.
Ощущение по движению по колейности ожидаемые, автомобиль не бросает но нужно быть на чеку.

Долговечность. Общий пробег на данных шинах около 20тыс км. Ошиповка немного сдвинусь по направлению движения но шипы держаться надежно.
Износ. Эксплуатация в регионе ХМАО. Средняя температура -20, при таких условиях истирание протектора не значительные.

В сезон переобувки +7 градусов, ее показатели резко ухудшаются, ощущение на сухом асфальте такие, что тормозной путь даже при спокойном вождении увеличивается.

Excellent grip on all types of winter surfaces. Great job on the ice roads. Very quiet and comfortable tires when driving on a clean road. When you leave the road, it copes wondefrul. After running 13,000 km, the studs took their position and remain in place. I recommend to buy, the best studded tire, to my mind.
