Among the studded tires for several years, the podium is divided by Continental, Nokian and Michelin, not launching strangers in the chosen one. And this year was no exception.
The Troika "Shipovok" is again the best on Russian roads: each more than 900 points. First place at Nokian Hakkapeliitta 7, most suitable for active drivers. But she, alas, the most expensive and most disadvantageous: price / quality ratio is 6.24. Quite nearby, with a difference in less than half a full-range, Russian version of Michelin X-Ice North 2: Cool, confident and inexpensive, price / quality - 5.51. Continental, a little stray with the presentation of the NEW CONICECONTACT, threw a breakthrough of his Vassal Gislaved Nord Frost 5 (price / quality - 5.15), slightly adjusting to it spikes. He did not let and dismantled Senor third place, and lagging behind the leader in less than 2%.
Pirelli and Goodyear struggled to come up with the first three competition, but she once again beat off the attack. So, in the fourth place "lighter" Pirelli Winter Carving Edge, on the fifth - intelligent Goodyear Ultra Grip Extreme. By the price / quality ratio, both tires are practically equivalent: 5.06 and 5.09, respectively.
The sixth and seventh lines occupied strong good - Dutch Vredestein Arctrac (862 points, price / quality - 4.29) and domestic
CORDIANT SNO-MAX (856 points and 3.62).
Slightly, next to the bar 840 points, Bridgestone Ice Cruiser 5000 (price / quality - 5.43) and the Korean "Winter Pike" Hankook Winter I-Pike, clearly competing with "Fredenty", as the price / quality ratio they have the same. Tens of Nizhnekamsk novelty KAMA EURO 519 closes with a modest result of 828 points (price / quality - 3.62, like the "Cordiant"), which did not have so strong as expected. Let's hope for an ambulance upgrade.
10th place: kama euro 519
- Despite the fact that the spikes at the "Kama" most of all, the coupling properties on the ice are very low: the car is trring and accelerates uncertainly, inhibits the transverse clutch jerks, the weakest of all "riding". With a speed of speed, the car demoloses from the intended path, it slides for a long time. Especially unpleasant unexpected slipping and sharp loss of clutch. The beginning of the breakdown is impossible to predict, you understand it only when the car already "swam".
- In the snow, overclocking and braking weak, the transverse clutch is worse than all, the line of transition to slip, as in ice, is not felt.
- On the snowy road, the car goes smoothly, however, if you throw the steering wheel, strives to go into deeper snow. When the course is adjusted, the corner of the steering wheel is better to overcome with intensive bounce. Undoubted dignity - confident check-out back, if you failed to break your way.
- Course stability on asphalt is not bad, but there is not enough informativeness on the steering wheel and interfere with the delay when piring. Braking on dry and wet asphalt is worse than medium.
- Fuel consumption average at any speed. The spikes are unnecessarily mad, which largely explains the low coupling properties on the ice.
- Very very noisy, passes on the car all the micropropouls of the roads are strongly pushed.
9th place: Hankook Winter I-Pike
- "Pike" or "tip" - the last word is translated into the tire name with a tread pattern, similar to the frequently copied Gislaved NF 3.
- On the ice coupling properties of weak, make you move slowly. With a slight increase in the speed, the car "does not hear" the steering wheel in turn, loses the intended trajectory and slides standing. It is good that breakdowns and restoration occur rather smoothly.
- In the snow, the tires slow down and accelerate confidently, but the transverse clutch is much worse than the longitudinal.
- At low angles, the driver interferes with the driver from the "empty" steering wheel, with large - breakdowns in a skid. It is impossible to feel the beginning of slip.
- On the snow-covered road carry a car without comments. In the deep snow, the latitude is reluctant, and it comes from a loaf, otherwise you can dig.
- On the asphalt is a little delayed during infringements. Brokes dry and wet worse than the rest.
- Unpleasantly noisy at any speed, two rumbleing peak are distinguished from the total grumble - with urban (40-60 km / h) and country (90-110 km / h) speeds.
- Sensitively shake the car on irregularities.
- Fuel consumption average at any speed.
- But neatly, but small, additional two or three tenth millimeters of spikes will improve the grip on the ice.
8th place: Bridgestone Ice Cruiser 5000
- The model goes down in history, giving way to a novelty of IC 7000, but while successfully sold.
- These tires were never strong on ice: reluctant acceleration, braking worse than medium, frankly weak transverse clutch and sluggish reactions. Nevertheless, at moderate speed, they behave quite adequately. The problem is only one: guess this speed.
- I drove a little faster - the angles of rotation of the steering wheel and the time of the machine's reaction is significantly increased, it begins to smear the trajectory and comes out from under control.
- In the snow, the turning angles of the steering wheel are less, but the behavior is unstable, demolition travelers in the initial phase of rotation and drift on the constant radius arc. In both cases, a small bust of speed leads to long slides. Brokes worse than the rest, the rearrangement is performed at the lowest speed, along with "Kama".
- On the snowy road, the straight is kept confident. They are not afraid of deep snowy recesses on the road, overcoming them without tension.
- At pure asphalt, like an informative wheel and clear execution of infringement commands.
- Braking on the asphalt of any state average.
- It is not sufficiently comfortable: the protector makes almost the helicopter hum, and the tires transmit pushes from any road irregularities on the body, as well as vibrations on the polik and steering wheel.
- OshIpovka is very high-quality on scattering (no more than 0.2 mm), but somewhat fine and spikes per dozen less than that of tires of other brands.
7th place: Cordiant Sno-Max
- Domestic tires; Unlike the "Kama", in the number of spikes correspond to European standards.
- They accelerate and brake on the ice average, but in turn make you be careful: across is kept noticeably worse than in the longitudinal direction. They require a sinking amplitude of the taxi, and on the ability an impression does not leave the feeling that the car turns not due to the rotation of the front wheels, but because of the rear injections.
- In the snow, the balance "Along-across" is changing. The weakest overclocking and braking are combined with an average cross-clutch level. When driving, the angles of rotation of the ram, sliding a little longer than the Grande, although they remain within reason.
- The course in the snow is kept clearly, but large angles of infringement complicate its adjustment. Snow drifts and snowdrifts are not afraid: they start up confidently, moving and rotate, they are reliably chosen by reverse.
- On the asphalt floating, the steering wheel is "empty", turn it on significant angles.
- On dry asphalt, there is a middle, the wet is better than average.
- They are strongly noisy on asphalt with a protector and spikes and sum up on a dense snow. Transmit vibrations from small road irregularities and shocks from road jacks.
- As for fuel consumption, the most insatiable in the test.
- Quality of misappropriation: Sparkling of speakers small (0.4 mm), but sticking the spikes is still high, there is a risk of confusion or break the cores from them.
6th place: vredestein arctrac
- The feature of the tire is a small mass, rolling with increased lifting capacity.
- On ice, longitudinal coupling properties are weak, and transverse - medium. Slip when starting, tightening the acceleration process; Machine stop worse than all. At the same time, the circle shows the average results, although in the turns, they do not instill confidence: they are clinging, they break off. Rewardly restored, unpleasantly pulling the car. Slides do not like.
- In the snow, they accelerate modestly, inhibit and turn medium.
- The car is clearly controlled on them, but only before the start of slides, which goes unexpectedly for the driver. The case ends with a swinging drift.
- On a snow-covered straight, Rovenkhonko moves, without comments.
- Deep snow overcome uncertainly, turn reluctantly, but back it is not bad.
- On the asphalt, I liked the clear course and understandable "zero."
- Brokes well, and on dry coverage - very well, almost on a par with "Houdier". The wet show average results.
- Noise and shake the car, voicing asphalt irregularities, loudly rustle on a dense snow.
- At a speed of 90 km / h, the fuel consumption is medium, at 60 km / h - elevated.
- OshIPOVA QUALITY AND ON THE SPECIAL OF SHIPS, AND ON REDUCTION.
5th place: Goodyear Ultra Grip Extreme
- Acceleration and transverse clutch on ice Average, braking better. Each rotation of the steering wheel at a speed above 30 km / h causes a lightweight sweater. If at the same time reset the gas, the skid will increase and require the steering adjustment.
- In the snow, all characteristics are also not lower than the average. In turns, the car is managed clearly, the limit is limited to the demolition demolition. However, in the second corridor, the rearrangement already at low speed begins. It is possible to keep the car in the ultrasound and achieve high results only with the help of the electronic assistant or proactive actions of the driver.
- Course stability on the snow covered road clear, without comments.
- Snowy repetitions are not for these tires. According to the snowdrifts, it is better to move only the latitude, otherwise you will stand, otherwise you get drunk.
- On the asphalt in a straight line, it goes smoothly, but delayed with infringements .. it is the best of all inhibit, and on the wet, and dry (in this almost a par with "Fredenty").
- We are tedied by the tread, but the noise of spikes is a separate article. Wait at high speed and clearly crush on the small. Shake the car on small and medium irregularities.
- It is not bad, therefore fuel consumed medium.
- In terms of quality, comparable with "Cordian": scatter in reasonable limits, but speaking on the verge of maximum permissible.
4th place: Pirelli Winter Carving Edge
- Ice, like "Houdier," is not afraid. They accelerate, brake and rotate confidently. On the constant radius arc, the limit speed causes a pronounced demolition or drift, the car turning is close to neutral. On the ice ring, the speed is limited to a soft demolition-drift. This allows you to change the curvature of rotation by reset or by adding gas.
- In the snow, too, work quite conscientiously: in braking, acceleration and on the rearrangement show average results. The behavior is clear, understandable, without comments, with an element of "ignition" - provoke to active ride.
- On the snow-covered road, it goes smoothly, clearly responding to infringement.
- Deep snow is better to overcome with a slight bucking, but without excessive zeal, otherwise you can dig.
- The asphalt line is kept in a summer tenacious, braking on the wet coating average, on dry above average.
- Charging the hoarse-proper crunch of spikes. Deliberately shake on any irregularities, right up to small.
- OshIpovka is satisfactory in all respects.
3 place: Gislaved Nord Frost 5
- Different from last year's slightly enlarged size of solid spikes.
- Open the category of premium-tires. The best braking and transverse clutch, very good overclocking on the ice. In turns behave very confidently, in the limit, the speed limits the lightweight skid, requiring a small adjustment.
- On the snow, too, it is worthy of: very good braking, good overclocking and medium transverse coupling properties. There are no complaints about the controllability of the car, its behavior and understandability of the reactions. Well managed even in slides.
- Stubbornly hold the course on a snowy road. In deep snow, however, they behave very confidently.
- At the asphalt remind "Houdier": a little late with a reaction to the course adjustment.
- In braking on wet asphalt, the best (along with the "Houdier"), on dry - quite a worthy average result.
- Noisy, very clearly crush spikes, especially at low speed.
- Transmit to the body to jolts from single irregularities.
- Fuel consumption elevated at any speed.
- OshIPOVA: Larction of speaking in reasonable limits, but the speech itself would be quite well reduced - for the sake of durability of spikes.
2nd place: Michelin X-Ice North 2
- Pleasant feature of these tires, insting security confidence on any road - well-balanced longitudinal and transverse coupling qualities. We note good braking on ice (despite classic round spikes), medium acceleration and very good cross clutch. On the abrade arc, when the gas is discharged, slightly twisted the car, helping to register the turn.
- In the snow, excellent coupling properties: the shortest braking path, intense acceleration and record speed on the rearrangement. Stable behavior and clear reactions even in slides. When crossing speed, gently slide sideways, intensely dropping speed.
- Better than others hold a snow-covered road, react sensitively to steering actions. Deep snow overcome confidently, allowing you to make any maneuvers.
- Good on asphalt: Clearly hold the specified direction, react to steering actions without delay.
- Braking on dry coating average, but on the wet tires pass: the weakest result.
- Frying noise on the roads with a solid coating. A little shake the car on the road micronias.
- The most economical (on a par with Nokian) at any speed.
- OshIpovka is very high quality, it gives reason to believe that the spikes will serve for a long time.
1st place: Nokian Hakkapeliitta 7
- From confidence before aggressiveness one step. All ice characteristics, including the time of the circle, are better than average, and overclocking is the best. Nevertheless, there is a feeling that the tires accelerate and brake better than turn. The behavior in the corners on the ice is clear and predictable, in the limit of easy helpful skid.
- In the snow, very good braking (better only at Mishlen), the best overclocking, the second result on the rearrangement. It is well managed even in slides, react without delay to the cooler of the steering wheel, due to this fit into the turn, it would seem unthinkable steepness. All this provokes to quick ride, so you need to honestly assess the level of your skill.
- Clearly follow the specified course on the snowy road.
- In deep snow, everything makes everything easy and easy, without fear of any stops, nor starts with a bounce, no steep turns.
- On the asphalt they float a little from side to side.
- Brokes on dry coating medium, but on the wet they show the most modest result.
- We rustle with spikes and protector, shook the car on small irregularities.
- Economic at any speed.
- Missed very qualitatively, problems because of the loss of spikes is not foreseen.
Outside: Continental Contilcecontact
- These tires were represented by the public after the completion of our "white" tests. But we found the opportunity to compare them with the winner of the Nokian HKPL 7 test in New Zealand, where in June winter in full swing. Rent the same "Golf VI", which had their own tests, but could not find asphalt roads, because the duel took place only on ice and snow. However, for the first acquaintance and identifying the abilities of the novelty of this enough.
- On ice accelerates and brake almost on a par with Nokian, but in cross-clutch just a head above: the difference is more than 8% in favor of German new items. The controllability is above all silence, the reaction to the rotation of the steering wheel is clearer, the behavior is more stable - in the limit, the machine is only slightly occasionated by the rear axle. And this is on a very slippery ice, where "Nokian" behaves like a midview: does not shine informative on the steering wheel and the stability of behavior - it breaks into demolition, then in a skid and slides longer than I would like.
- In the snow, the difference is almost the same, the braking path and the time of acceleration is comparable to Nokianovsky, but handling, as in ice, is better than that of the "seven". Baranca is filled with informativeness on straight, clear reactions and understandable behavior in turn. Tires draw a car in turns without a hint of HKPL 7 demolition on the same highway less informative, give a periodically occurring demolition at the entrance to the rotation and more active skidding on the arc.
- In the deep snow, the "Germans" lose a little "Finnam": they are insecure, demanding the addition of gas, but with intensive slip, they strive to bury.
- OshIpovka high quality and stable.
Rating friction tires
Ashable tires assembled in the test, they are "velcro" or "Scandinavians", are already known to our readers. They are updated two or three years ago, the exception is the long-liver Vredestein NORD-Trac and the novelty Goodyear Ultra Grip Ice +.
The results of the leaders lay down in the interval from 899 to 924 points. The first five and at all differ at no more than 3%. But they have different characters, and each tire in our test installed its own record, or even a few.
The reader when choosing should be focused not on the overall result, but on individual addictions and preferences and, of course, take into account the advantages and disadvantages listed by us.
Russian Nokian Hakkapeliitta R installed records in braking and acceleration in the snow and at the same time demonstrated the worst braking on dry asphalt. It remains on the market for the most expensive: price / quality - 6.16. The most attractive BRIDGESTONE BLIZZAK WS60 (4,99) is the best for the longitudinal coupling properties on ice and braking on dry asphalt, but the most voracious, if evaluating fuel consumption. Michelin X-Ice 2 is a well-balanced tire, the indicators are all high, with the exception of overclocking in the snow. At the expensive ContivikingContact 5 (price / quality - 6.04) the best results in the ice circle and in acceleration in the snow, and in braking on the wet asphalt it turned out to be worst. Goodyear Ultra Grip Ice + Smooth in all characteristics of the tire, the best in rearrangement. The price / quality ratio (5.45) is the same as the Michelin tire, and, apparently, they have to compete with each other on the market. But the title of the most economical tire in the fight Nokian Hakkapeliitta 7 and Michelin X-Ice 2 won the Russian-Finnish tire.
Not a new Vredestein NORD-TRAC with 852 points noticeably lags behind others. Even at a ratio of price / quality, equal to 4.11, it can be seen that he is no longer part of competing with younger grandi.
Kama Euro 519 without spikes scored 830 points. Here is an example of the inappropriate use of the product originally created in the studded version. Under the hardness of rubber, Nizhnekamysk tires closer to "Europeans" (such as ContiWinterContact TS 830, Michelin Alpine, Pirelli Snowsport, Kumho KW17), and therefore cannot compete with "Scandinavians" on ice and snow. But on pure asphalt feel very confident.
7th place: kama euro 519
- These tires are designed to be missed, but completely sold and nearby and "bald" option is not a better solution for iced and snow-covered roads.
- On Ice, the coupling properties are worse than all real unsuccessful tires. Overclocking tightened, inhibition ineffective, jerks. In turns, large angles of rotation of the steering wheel, delaying reactions, tightened slides, in the limit demolition of the front and a significant straightening of the trajectory.
- In the snow, the braking is very weak - worse only "Fredstoren"; Overclocking mediocre, as well as "Mishlen"; At the rearrangement, the limiting speed and behavior is worse than the rest. The comments are practically the same as on ice: insufficient informativeness on the steering wheel, big corners of his turn, tightened slipping. On the snow-covered straight line pulls toward deeper snow, the course adjustment complicates large steering angles of the steering wheel.
- In deep snow, turn better than they go straight, so if necessary, you can move the galks. On the asphalt, they are slightly floating within the strip and late during infringement. Brokes great. On the wet coverage show the best results, on dry - above average.
- One of the reasons: Rubber is tougher than others are not sufficiently comfortable: they are very noisy, periodically sum up and tangible shake the car. Fuel consumption at 60 km / h is large, at 90 km / h medium.
6th place: vredestein nord-trac
- On Ice, coupling properties leave much to be desired; Braking and overclocking are very weak (worse only at the "Kama"). However, in the ice circle, they hold in middling, creak, like other Scandinavians, however, the behavior of the car is predictable, without surprises and problems. When the limit speed is reached, it begins to gently slide out, straightening the trajectory.
- In the snow show itself about the same. In braking worse than all, the transverse grip is weak, except for the middle of the middle. When overclocking it is well felt, as the electronics holds the tires from slipping. Maneuvering complicate increased steering angles. In turns, the limit speed leads to light excessive turning.
- On a snow-covered straight with a uniform movement and reset the gas, the car goes a bit, in light acceleration goes much more clearly. The snowdrifts do not like, it is better to overcome their move, without stopping and not turn the steering wheel without need. It is not recommended to buck, otherwise you can dig.
- On asphalt goes smoothly, but delayed when the direction is adjusted. Braking on the asphalt is also not brilliant, and on the wet, and in dry the weakly slow down.
- The protector on the rough asphalt is rustled loudly, at high speeds are added in turns, clap on irregularities. Large irregularities pass unpleasantly hard. Fuel consumption at 60 km / h Medium, at 90 km / h increased.
5th place: Goodyear Ultra Grip Ice +
- New company, in essence, in the category of premium-tires.
- She does not have a noticeable preference to the coating, with the exception of asphalt. On any road, the tires demonstrate quite even character and similar behavior.
- On ice and longitudinal, and transverse grip. At the time of the troggy, it is easy to break the wheels in the slip, so you need to put pressure on gas.
- In the snow, braking and acceleration is also medium, and the speed on the rearrangement "pops up" into the leading. In part, it is the merit of electronics (on "Golf" it is untouched). The skid in the second corridor begins early, but ESP simply does not give it to develop. The same happens during overclocking: as well as on Fredtendy, it is good that the electronics stifles the engine, otherwise the tires will break into the slip.
- On the snowy road, everything is smoothly, without comments.
- In deep snow, they behave confidently, it is easy to maneuver, do not burst during the stopping.
- On the asphalt when changing the course there is a slight infringement of the rear axle.
- Braking is not a record, but very efficient and on wet asphalt, and (especially!) On dry.
- Comfortable: Quickly rustled by the tread, rolls on the way gently.
- At 60 km / h, the fuel is consumed economically, according to this indicator constitute the competition "Mishane". However, at 90 km / h consumption increases to medium.
4th place: Continental ContivikingContact 5
- The leader of our two-year-old test. This time the results are modest. Apparently, the new exercise "braking on wet asphalt" was influenced. Nevertheless, weaknesses in the snow and ice are not detected, held in the premium-tire category (more than 900 points).
- On the ice accelerates and brake in the first four, and in the circle there are the best result. Picks, creak, as if instead of ice under the wheels, wet concrete, but keep! When maneuvering turns of the steering wheel is pretty great.
- It feels much more confident in the snow: the best overclocking, very good braking and the average result on the rearrangement. Like ice, the beam corners are Velika. The course on the snow-covered road is quite clear, to adjust the directions are responded without delay
- Deep snow overcome confident in any mode.
- On the asphalt straight straight float within the strip. It is not bad to stop on dry asphalt, but it is hung on a wet, the brake is worse. The grip on the wet road Shinniki is considered antipode to rolling resistance. Here, like the Bridge, nor "wet" clutch, nor fuel economy.
- By comfort, comparable with Michelin: quiet and smooth.
- Fuel consumption at 60 km / h Medium, at 90 km / h increased.
3 place: Michelin X-Ice 2
- Confidently feel at the "white" roads and off-road. There are no failures, with the exception of weak acceleration in the snow.
- They do not shine on the ice, but they keep confidently: inhibit and accelerate actively, the second result is divided from "Nokian". Unlike Breeza, bribe the clutch by the clutch "along-across". Clear reactions, smooth transitions in sliding - in general, behave clearly and reliably.
- In the snow, the characteristics are not leading: in braking the worst of the first four, on the rearrangement, too, the fourth result, overclocking is the weakest.
- When the gas is added, they are actively screwed into the turn, and on the reset slightly straightened the trajectory.
- The snow-covered road is held without comments.
- In deep snow, behave confidently. Even with intensive bounces, they pop up, go ahead, not trying to jump, do not be afraid of the bounce.
- On asphalt go without comments, even on small turns of the steering wheel, react without delay, almost like summer tires.
- On dry asphalt, it slows down better than the average, on the wet - very good.
- Comfortable, noise and smoothness without comments. Economic at any speed, but rolls a little worse than Nokian.
2nd place: Bridgestone Blizzak WS60
- On the "white" coatings show outstanding results, but, alas, along with frankly weak. On the ice, excellent braking and best overclocking. It would seem that the model fit to declare Ice Leader!
- But the weak transverse clutch spoils the whole picture (the slower of the ice circle passes only "Kama"), it makes it be careful in the turns of the tire, instilling confidence during acceleration and braking, the grip is noticeably losing.
- Managing clear, sliding soft and understandable. In the snow, very good braking and a decent result on the rearrangement, but overclocking a very weak tires require accuracy with a trochier and only in motion are ready to take full gas (it seems to behave "Nokian").
- On the snow-covered road, they are better than others, without delay, respond to the direction adjustment.
- Sugroes overcome easily, not afraid of bounce, because they do not bury.
- The asphalt go clear, however, the reaction, like most winter tires, is slightly smeared.
- On a dry road, it is better in the best, wet do not complain - the result is worse than the average.
- Noisy, transmit vibrations and light itching from micronether.
- The highest fuel consumption at any speed.
1st place: Nokian Hakkapeliitta R
- Almost equally strong in the snow and on ice, not a single weak characteristic.
- On the ice surface, very good braking is harmonized with the same transverse clutch and acceleration. In the turn, the lightweight twisting skid helps, are well controlled in slides, gently restore the adhesion when leaving the slides.
- On the snow, all the characteristics are the best. Confident braking, energetic overclocking, high speed (a couple with "Houdier") performing rearrangement and clear behavior on it. Allowed and forgive small errors in control.
- Confidently hold on the snowy road. Sugges and snow reverses are not scary. Start after stopping, turns of any curvature, exit back - all this is done without difficulty and special skills.
- The asphalt is slightly floating within the strip.
- On dry asphalt, weakly brake on the wet. It seems that there is little for asphalt, all the "forces" went on the snow and ice.
- No comments no comments. But to the smoothness of the stroke you can complain: single irregularities are marked on the body with sharp shocks.
- They put a record for fuel economy, ahead of even "Mishlen".
The editors are appreciated by all companies that have provided tires for testing.
Special thanks to Nokian Tyres, which provided technical support.Briefly about the first impressions about Hankook Winter IPIKE RS2 W429. Once again, weather forecasters threw me with snow))). I decided that I would no longer wait and put the rubber in advance.
Start: Balancing was not bad - at the level of tires that are more expensive and are considered premium. It swung while warm and asphalt 2.3, so that the car is not a strong chill on a plate. From what it is probably worth paying attention to: the side shoulder on the tire is more likely summer than winter. In all my previous tires, this element was obviously more pronounced. Near the car in Goodyear Ultragrip Ice Arctic - here there is a shoulder so shoulder, even though the border pieces are cut off))). But as will be in real life will show winter already. Although there is there one moment about which I do not want to say in advance until I do not check in practice.
Moment 2: After installing on the disk and pumping the tire, I had the impression that the grooves between the checkers became even wider. (Maybe I drive ...) As a result, the tire looks already and does not even chibly urban. Large checkers and deep large ditches between them. It was not exactly one of the previous tires of such comprehension.
Moment 3: Noise from tires. Here I was pleasantly surprised at speeds up to 70. No longer tried in the city yet. 190 small spikes were quieter of many tires where 130 spikes. From the latter, I remember - in my opinion, it is exactly quieter than Michelin X-Ice North 2 and Nokian Hakkapelitta 7. And about the same level with Michelin X-Ice North 1.
Moment 4: brakes, overclocking and handling. In this weather, well, rightly slippery when starting. For a couple of the first time, even Schlifanlated on asphalt by pressing gas as usual on summer tires (naturally does not go about any sneaker in the floor). Then I went carefully. The brakes really did not understand, because it slowed down neatly. And yes, yes ... The keet again came to my life))). Although I do not know not one good winter tire (I do not take the calculation in the calculation) which would be in the plus temperature and on dry asphalt look like a summer behavior. Swim the car on them, but justice for the sake of for nothing more than other winter tires. The only thing I didn't like it yet: it's a taxiing on very small speeds. When reversal and turns at right angles, the rubber strongly slides like when starting from the place. With increasing speed, the situation becomes better. Apparently, at a minimum, dry asphalt and a confident plus on the street is not her topic at all. Again, there were no such pronounced effect on all previous tires. For the sake of justice, it should be noted that in tire tests, she showed that on the asphalt she leaves much to be desired. But not for such as conditions today I bought it.
A huge number of different tires is implemented in the automotive market. Of these, you can highlight the most popular who have a good reputation among motorists. However, how to choose the best from manufacturers? Many drivers have long and steadily have their own preferences when purchasing rubber, but no less car owners still cannot choose the best. Therefore, we decided to consider Tire Pirelli and compare them with products from other manufacturers: what are they better or worse?
history of the company
The creation of Pirelli has occurred in 1872 in Milan, there is still a main office. The creator is Giovanni Battist Pirelli, who at the age of 23 knows exactly what he wants to open his business associated with the production of rubber products.
The company turned out to be small, the turnover was initially very small. Various rubber products were made, and the tires began to be manufactured only in 1894, and only for bicycles. The first car tires appeared in 1901.
Subsequently, the company began production of tires for sports cars participating in racing. In 1907, one of the participants with Pirelli tires ranked first in competitions, which brought the company popularity.
Another equally significant event in the history of the company is the release of calendars in 1964. Then they enjoyed great popularity. Currently, their release continues.
As before, the manufacturer offers high-quality tires. Therefore, many motorists think that better: Tires Pirelli or analogues?
Pirelli or Michelin.
For comparison, take the Pirelli Ice Zero and Michelin X-Ice North and Michelin X-Ice 3. Both specimens are equipped with spikes, and the tread pattern is very similar. Pirelli tires have special reliability, as well as capable of providing a minimum braking path.
Their quality fully corresponds to the price, but there is one significant drawback - with the positive temperature of the tires lose their properties.
If we consider the model from Michelin, it can be noted that it has excellent grip on the snow and asphalt, as well as efficient braking. However, coupling properties are worse on the ice.
These tires are optimal for those who drive on a car long, as they contribute to comfortable driving. If the indicators are important, then the preference of Pirelli is best to give preference.
Pirelli or Goodyear
If you compare the Pirelli Ice Zero tires with Goodyear Ultra Grip Ice Arctic, then the second option albeit a bit, but still leads. They showed themselves perfectly both on asphalt and in difficult conditions on off-road. At high speed, they have good term stability.
True, they have one substantial minus - when driving a rift begins. Therefore, Pirelli tires provide safer driving.
Pirelli or Nokian.
Also known to the manufacturer with a good reputation is Nokian. He has a leading model Nokian Nordman 5. Is she better than Pirelli Ice Zero?
Nokian has good handling and clutch on ice, but on asphalt, these indicators deteriorate significantly. Also, the spikes on the protectors fall pretty quickly, which cannot be attributed to positive qualities.
Pirelli tires have an increased resource, and the spikes do not fall out almost throughout the operation. The clutch on the ice is approximately the same, but due to wear-resistant winter tires Pirelli won.
As it turned out, the Winter Tires Pirelli is better than almost all of their competitors. They have all the necessary properties, but they cannot be operated at the positive air temperature. This is the only significant drawback.
Rubber. Pirelli or Goodyear? Pirelli or Michelin what is better
Tire War: Michelin or Pirelli?
2006 For all we were remembered by the confrontation of tire manufacturers in Formula 1 - Pirelli and Michelin. Passed almost 10 years from the moment and the struggle continues again, only outside the tracks. Let's analyze the situation along with Dieter Renken.
After the last incident, when Sebastian Vettel accused Pirelli in poor-quality tires, each manufacturer tries to "drag the blanket to himself" and prove that it is the best and only true choice for Formula 1 teams.
So, FIA has changed its principles and the rules for the selection of tire manufacturers after the conclusion of the contract with Pirelli. Thus, the latter managed to make the next marketing move with Formula One Management - now the Pirelli logos will be present at each stage and this should lead to the fact that potential competitors will slightly razoreden.
Now the completion of submission of applications for participation in the tender will be completed 18 months before the expiration date of the contract with this supplier. After that, the executives of motor racing will conduct a check of candidates for compliance with certain criteria: security, quality, technical and sports questions.
The list of criteria will be analyzed in detail by FOM, and only after this FIA makes a solution regarding the preferences. At the end of these procedures, long-term negotiations and meetings occur, at the end of which the World Council on Motorsport will decide to conclude a contract with a new manufacturer.
To date, only two statements came to FIA, and it's very easy to guess from whom - from Pirelli and Michelin. They both passed the first stage of the selection and will be announced on September 30, who ultimately chosen as a supplier for Formula 1.
Regarding tire manufacturers - their main goal is to get a monopoly on rubber delivery for F-1 for 2 years - from 2017 to 2019. Why exactly 2 years? Taking this decision, the FOM was guided by the fact that the validity of agreements with teams expires in 2020.
In the current season of the supplier, which will be determined for further cooperation, will have to provide the rubber for only one championship and after that the company will be forced to amend the product specification in accordance with the changed regulations.
Regarding the change of the latter, it was a forced measure, due to the transition to 6-cylinder turbo engines, as it caused the revision of the entire chassis design.
In the struggle for the possibility of becoming a monopolist, at this stage, Pirelli confidently leads. Remember when in 2010 the company literally saved Formula 1 players, prepare rubber for 12 months. In addition, the Italian company always tries to fulfill all the wishes of the teams, which is a competent and deliberate strategy. Naturally, the teams pay well for it - about a million dollars per season, but it is covered with interest, since Pirelli logos are placed on the chassis, and on overalls.
Now let's look at absolutely tough and not at all the flexible policy of Michelin, which refuse to take part in the tender if Formula 1 will not refuse to use 13-inch disks that are outdated. Of course, the requirements are reasonable, but with such a uniqueness of the company's tender not to win.
Who will win on this race manufacturers - it is not clear. It is clear only that the question is not only in the leadership of suppliers, but also in what is more important for Formula 1 - Sport, or Profit.

Rubber. Pirelli or Goodyear? / Personal blog AntonKharitonov / SMOTRA.RU
Personal blog Antonkharitonov → Hello everyone! So it's time to change the rubber, and then it became unsafe to ride on too erased .. Since I travel a lot by car, I decided to put a rubber again with Runflat technology, but it happens on the way, and here in the case of puncture the wheels will be the opportunity Drive at the speed of 80km / h to any car service. In general, from the RUNFLAT category for my car (BMW 335i E92) there were three brands of rubber - Bridgestone, Pirelli and Goodyear. Since Bridgestone was significantly more expensive, I immediately excluded it as an option) So, I choose between Pirelli Pzeroand Goodyear Eagle F1
Despite the fact that recently there are more and more posts about all sorts of left topics (how to fry meat, how to seduce chick or which computer games you play, etc.), this site still remains the portal for people Loving cars and dismantling in them! Therefore, I hope to hear useful tips / reviews, all the same rubber is of great importance in the use of our means of movement! For the price, Pirelli is about 30 euros more expensive for each wheel. So far, I'm more inclined to Pirelli, as I always considered this brand one of the best, but if goodyear is not really worse, is there any point in overpaying? Thanks in advance, and good luck on the roads to everyone!)

) What better spike. Rubber Pirelli or Yukoham
pirelli will be better, Japanese Yokohama Summer Rubber is certainly good, but winter tires are non-viaway, even in autogurworked in the tests of winter rubber, Uokhama has been low. I have a winter guislanda, good tires
Yokohama - unequivocally
I would take. Yokohama. Excellent quality without unnecessary overpayments
ekohama is better since softer, but if you ride on the asphalt, it is erased quickly so if you want to go longer on rubber and snow in winter it is not so much that is better than Pirelli !!! :) :)
I would take Yokohama.
Better Yokohama ... Pirelli That overpay a little need, but Yokohama and softer and in my opinion it is better ... All the same Japanese quality :)))
Yokohama do not take any way. I ran to a low price and a good name. The choice was, by the way, like you. As a result, I regret that I did not buy Pirelli. From Yoki, almost all spikes from the front axle flew in a couple of months with a mixed style. I tried not to grind and sharply did not slow down, the road is kept very figovy. ABS triggers almost immediately. The only thing is that these tires behave well this tires. I have never forced, but in the rest of the full G. I even corresponded with the representation of Yoka in Moscow, sent them pictures, they do not recognize that their products are poor-quality, they say that yes, the spikes flew out, but you can continue to ride. That's how! Take better Pirelli, and even better Zakopa dough and take Gislaved, I was very satisfied with them!
The last test of the winter tires was in the journal "Driving": H ** p: //www.zr.ru/articles/53965/ Here are the results
the coolest Nokian Hakkapelita-5 is the only minus price but rubber is above all praise
It is not worth saving on the rubber - at one time, for the same reason they took a Gudier - rare Kaka. Very sorry later, that they did not spend on any more decent. To be honest, Gislaved, I personally, too, somehow not very much. Nokia impressed. The last time I put Michelin Energy - just super. In Finland, in the winter, respectively, came on the old ones, went to new, if their goods were held, then the duty will be charged, 4-per-wheels R-16 together with the work, and the utilization of old wheels (they were only for the garbage, they cost 450 Euro. So think - you have only 800 km to Heltsinki.
The choice of proper automotive rubber is a good clutch with an expensive, and at the same time the driver's safety with passengers. In specialized stores and on the market there is an extremely wide range of tires, and therefore most consumers are simply lost in all this variety of brands and models.
