Translation

Welcome. On dry pavement tires behave well. The problem starts in the snow. During the first winter tire went nicely. There was no problem with driving in the snow, uphill trips not caused any problems. The situation has changed drastically even during the second season. It was harder to move the snow, let alone ice. Now, after three seasons, although 6 mm tread, tires have lost a great deal for the new. It is easy to break traction when starting off. During the anti-lock braking the car still running. Guilty as it is a mixture of rubber, which is made tire. It is very sensitive to aging. Also riding on tires Nokian, purchased at the same time as Firestony, with a similar tread depth and quality of the ride is quite different. Car much better moves and stops on these tires. To sum up: tires can and good, but only for the first winter. This is followed by a rapid loss of their properties winter.

Tyre average quality but at an affordable cenie.Nie recommend it for high-end cars. It is better to invest in a brand tyres. The tyre is noisy and unstable in corners, as the water drains poorly, well exercised in kopnym snow, is her only asset.

Tires middle class! They ensure safety in all conditions at a low price. The only reason I can find fault with this abrasiveness: After 25 ffm - 5mm tread ahead at a moderate driving .... a little bit ... ah ... an additional 2 tires are not beating the factory to balance - Firestone did not consider the complaint ... They can go only so ...

Tires very well. Ideal behavior on dry and wet roads. Be careful when the temperature rises to more than 7 ° C, because the tire is then very soft and in curves or at intersections behaves as if he had broken down. I test the tires are generally out of the city and on the roads, where often the path is not cleared of snow. But I had no problem with the directions from the snow.

Really very good tires. Finally it snowed, so I can write something. For this money, I find that you can not buy better tires, are well on snow, rain and dry surface. Ice has its own rules, but this tire is also able to cope with. I was afraid that the new EVO version 2 can be a bit worse than the previous version. I drove three seasons with car with rear drive axle and it was really good. I do not know if they are better than the previous one, but I am sure that these are also very good. I recommend.

The choice fell on Firestone because I everywhere Nokian W + could not buy. Yes, but to the point, that is, very quiet tires (low rolling resistance), the trip to the dry conditions without reservation, crossed the mud like knife through butter, and remains stable. And now some drawbacks: Even on the icy asphalt loses grip when braking, when you start well but it still goes. Not yet tested in the wet snow - has small cubes (but many sections) and I do not know if it does not become clogged with snow - but these are my guesses when it drops a lot of snow, we will see. Overall I recommend - definitely much better than Debica Frigo, which I had before - (quieter and better results)
