Tyre 165/70 R13 79T was as good for 2 years from the date of purchase, but no revelations. What I did not match the tyres on this model is that the emergency brake is very easy to block the wheels on the wet asphalt in the autumn - winter! A massacre! It is difficult to detect the point at which the wheels start to lock (I do not ABSu). I was not so with the Barum Polaris I, nor the Fulda Kristal Montero II! After a third year noticeably worse cornering grip in the snow and very hard to move in kopnym snow. The first 2 seasons OK, but the third revealed a poor season rubber compound properties - Firestone tyres because the tread still has a 7 mm thick! Of course tyres "passed the" driving improvement course on Tor Missile Wroclaw in February 2010 in kopnym snow. Correct, but no revelations. It is hard to move, hard to slow down. Auto Skoda Felicia II 1.6 75HP 135Nm without ABS. BDB braking system. Tyres are unlikely to recommend. This season I bought winter tyres Vredestein Snowtrac 3, and I hope that it will be the best winter tyres that I had ;-) Be the first course in the winter ;-)

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

Behaves poorly when wet asphalt, very easy to fall into the skid.
