Translation

While it is normal that the temperature hovering around 2 degrees in the wet, the tires are less efficient than a year, it does not matter, but if not, I would not recommend these tires. The snow can be. Slush already the worst. the dry braking too quickly lose grip. To summarize - there is nothing to get excited about this tire.

I think it's just a mid-range tire, which confirms and price. They also have their advantages: they are really quiet!

Shoot a fatal wet ... In this category deserves the lowest rating ... Other properties at a relatively good level. Due to the great difference of opinion between the categories I suggest investing in a different brand. By large fluctuations in charakterystce product can be acquired costly problems.

I bought a month ago, because I had a weak year in the record show ... For now, a few miles from the mixed feelings in the city. In the dry, the temperature, the more strongly without reservation. When driving in an unpleasant hissing rain at speeds over 70 Behaved as Barum Polaris2 (whistle). Zabaczymy that winter in the Giant Mountains, and write again. Regards

Tire to roll in the snow and not compacted. ice, slush, water (ponds), total defeat of compacted snow. Rubber seems to be quite hard. after exposure to winter conditions should make sure that these are the tires that I bought and are based in accordance with the recommended direction and that is definitely winter tires. It happened not move 2 (for the summer). good tire, but not the Polish winter residual mud, snow and nieodsniezanymi means. noticeable phenomenon in the flow of water puddles. in addition it is very quiet and very good grip in dry conditions.

Tire 165/70 R13 79T was also good for two years from the date of purchase, but no revelations. I did not match the tires of this model is that the emergency brake is very easy to lock the wheels on wet asphalt in the fall - winter! A massacre! It is difficult to detect when the wheels start to lock (I Absu). I was not so I Barum Polaris nor Kristal Fulda Montero II! After third year handle even more acute in the corners in the snow and very difficult to move in the snow kopnym. OK the first two seasons, but the third showed a poor properties season rubber - Firestone compounds because the tread still 7 mm thick! Of course, the tires "spent" driving course on improving Tor missiles Wroclaw in February 2010 in kopnym snow. Correct, but no revelations. It is difficult to move, difficult to slow down. Auto Skoda Felicia II 1.6 75HP 135Nm without ABS. BDB braking system. Tires are unlikely to recommend. This season, I bought winter tires Vredestein Snowtrac 3, and I hope this will be the best winter tires I had ;-) Be the first during the winter ;-)

I ride on these tires for the second year. Although dry conditions well run, wet a little worse, the snow for them is a big problem. Sometimes they behave as if it were summer tires - only 10 cm of snow and as long driveway is insurmountable. The new total lack of adherence snow.

Misbehaves during the wet asphalt, very easy to fall into the palette.
