These tires come with interior foam that reduce the stud noise significantly. Grip is great, especially on ice, no word on tire wear yet. But I will post to help my fellow EV drivers.

You can complete graduate school with a solid 75%... But if 1/4 of your tires are eccentric, you are unlikely to complete your journey. It is hard to write such a bad review, because I admire the company ethos of testing and development, and I know everyone makes mistakes. But QA systems exist to identify and mitigate variation/deviation in manufacturing. So, I can only assume Nokian employees evade their own quality systems. Perhaps Nokian pays peanuts to employ monkeys... Like Boeing. Perhaps Nokian puts their revenue toward track days for nepo-babies and blow for their nepotist CEOs, and so cannot pay competent machinists. Nokian has deceived me, Nokian has wasted my time, and Nokian has lost my respect. If you want to stay on the road, a drunken donkey is a better investment ;)

I love these tires they've gotten me through ice snow sleet never had a problem with any road. Very highly recommended.
