In the past 3 years, the tires of the Concern Cordiant are really pleasing, the quality is growing, and with him the army of satisfied fans of inexpensive high-quality tires is growing. In today's review we will look at the new year of 2013, which for 2 years in trend has been collecting a huge amount positive feedback. Meet - studded tire Cordiant Snow Cross..
All as one users, seeing the drawing of the tread, begin to scream - this is a clone of Hakki 7, do not think that they buy a Cordiant and get the same hachak, the difference is huge and blah blah.
Of course, to compare the Finnish tire and our difference in price by 3 times - the occupation is incorrect. Who has money - he takes Hakku without thinking and not soared. Who has no money - they have to look for reviews in the internet, to shove the mountains of information, search for tests, video and other info. Yes, even when testing tires, they take them from one "weight" category - premium, comfort, budget. And compare the budget bay bus tires with class comfort is simply meaningless. In most tests, the dear tire will be ahead, but much? And is it important when daily exploitation? In general, we will talk better about Snow Cross - according to the results of tests and numerous reviews - it really is worth paying attention to it. Photo:
The previous model Snow Max also showed excellent results, people are satisfied as an elephant. And Snow Cross is the continuation of Max technologies, the cross is even better, adapting, technologically, if you want. Technology production tires do not stand still and top Tires 2005 will now show very low results. That is why the people study the innovations of the market, because they will certainly be better than previous ones. Progress Do not stop.
Cordiant Snow Cross - studded rubber, the composition of the rubber mix is \u200b\u200bstill improved, there is even more silica, and therefore the tire even in hard frosts (-30) remains soft, so that the tire after a long night frost parking will not be square, but will remain round)) and winter The tire should always be soft - these are a priori!
The pattern of the tread is similar to Hakku-7, but purely externally, there are consistency of considerable differences. Nevertheless, according to the reviews of the people (for 2 years there is a lot of accumulated), the tire is canceled digging deep snow, loose snow is also excellent. Snow porridge - wonderful, water and impregnated with moisture snow well is discharged from the contact spot. Photo by Snow Cross:
But the photo of Hakki 7 for comparison, there is a difference and she is noticeable, so it's not necessary to la-la, that the protector is the same (the hackki spits go almost non-stop across the tire, the Cordian is noticeably less common):
Crowd spikes - again the new technology, the shape of the tire and its inside, landing. As a reserved - the loss of spikes is minimal, it is, but compared to competitors the Cordian is really better. Who did the competitors lose? Such a popular Nokian Nordman 4, which everyone is good, but the spikes holds not as cool, as we would like it. Of course, no one has canceled the correctness of the run, but still according to the reviews of the people it can be seen that Snow the crossing the spikes are really better. And if you compare with Yokohama Ig35 - here you yourself know, Iocca on the ice is perfect only the first season, on the second - it is already without spikes))
By the way, we will recommend another chic option, but already a velcro tire -, the highest quality, reviews in the overwhelming majority are excellent. Well, the chic price. If the city is clean and the temperature allows you to take it.
On Ice, Snow Cross shows excellent results for the budget tire (and the difference between the tires of another price category is minimal). To put the car in the trash, it turns out not always, but if winter Road Ride with your head, then the ice holder will be 5 points.
Video - Test for loose snow
In the snow - this tire is simply created for him. Rocked snow - 6 of 5 points, loose, wet, deep - perfect. Snow is empty, side hooks for "digging" and to derive water wide and deep.
What are there any minuses? We read in reviews - on bare asphalt with +5 badly slow down. Hehe, the same spikes and a priori they should slow down. Hakka 7 will also brake badly, but probably a little better than a snow cross))
What else from minuses is bad balancing. This is not a fact, it all depends on the tire, what will you get. Most completely balanced normally, but there are exceptions. So, the quality of manufacture does not hold at the level and it is bad. On the other hand, buy tires immediately with the tire installation and if the dofiga weights - ask the other bus, replace without problems.
In general, the rubber boldly set 4.5 points, in budget class It is real one of the best. Not long ago, yesterday, a chevik was seen on this rubber, came up, talked - the owner is terribly satisfied, he drives a lot in the snow and loves to park in a snowdrift when there is no place in the parking lot. With this rubber, he has no problems at all. All types of winter road canvases are ideal except naked asphalt - here a little worse. We definitely recommend to buy, excellent inexpensive spindlers.
CORDIANT SNOW CROSS CARDIANT SNOW TIRS Designed for use in winter. These russian tires We are in demand among drivers who want to acquire reliable auto strokes at an affordable price.
Technical characteristics of the product
Protector features
Manufacturers of this model of auto strokes when creating tires special attention We paid their controllability and stability. Enhancement of coupling characteristics managed to achieve due to the unusual design of the protector pattern. The drawing is made in the form of rays, divergent from the center of the tread.
A closed edge in the central region of the tread ensures rapid overcoming of snowy snowdrifts. The grooves in the shoulder tire zones increase the coupling characteristics of rubber with the road surface. Practical transverse channels and elongated blocks create closed cavities. Thus, the tire acquires the minimum brake path on the ice and in the snow.
OshIpovka rubber
Automotive tires OT russian manufacturer have an enhanced ushipovka system - 16 Stud rows. In rubber there are anchor two-inflated spikes. Each spike has a shape of a snowflake - Uniq Studs.. The core of spikes is made of high strength material. These technologies make it possible to prevent the wheel slip, which often occurs when the motor vehicle is accelerated.
Construction of auto strokes
Tires have a two-layer tread design - Double Tread.. The top layer is made of a soft rubber layer. Such material provides good coupling quality products. The inner layer consists of rigid rubber, which reduces the tire wear rate and contributes to a uniform pressure distribution inside the tread. So, a two-layer design allows you to make rubber more resistant to external influence.
Tire sizes Cordiant Snow Cross
In stock There are Cordiant Snow Cross tires with R 14 radius. Sizes are available for customers R 14 175/65 and 185/60.
According to the results of testing the magazine "TEST WORLD":
Positive properties of automotive rubber Cordiant Snow Cross
Owners automotive tiresCordiant manufactured by such advantages of these products as:
- excellent handling;
- high tire stability indicator when driving in the snow and ice;
- a long service life of tires, which is provided by the deep protector pattern and innovative tire structure.
Synonyms: Cordiant Snow Cross
The task was initially cooled to prepare for the production of tires with a landing diameter of 17 and 18 inches for cars premium segment. However, such products need not just good, but very good. Cordiant Snow Cross Tire Tread Figure Preserved the same, but re-developed a mixture. Its chemical composition allowed us to provide a wide temperature range of performance: + 10 ... -53 ° C. Prior to modernization, the lower limit was -45 ° C.
For improvement coupling properties Skike-Cor spike-Cor spike-Cor spikes applied on ice. In the aluminum building of the new "Cunt", a carbide octaigrated insert from tungsten carbide was introduced. The former spikes were dressed in a stainless steel housing, their carbide insert did not have a cut.
A dozen of such "COGOTKS" is constantly in the spnow of contact. According to the Cordian, the brake path during a slowdown from 30 to 5 km / h on modernized tires in comparison with the previous ones decreased by 8%, and acceleration from 5 to 30 km / h became faster by 3.7%.
Modernization touched not only expensive 17- and 18-inch models, but also more affordable 13-16-inch.
On the snow-covered airfield of the Aerodrome sortsaws of Shinniki gathered rear-wheel drive cars of premium brands. The Test Program of the Modernized Model Cordiant Snow Cross included an estimate of the longitudinal clutch: after intensive overclocking up to 60 km / h - sharp braking up to a complete stop, first with the ESP turned on, and then C turned off. Clearly operating electronics leads a car without driving and slipping. But without electronic stabilization I confidently controlled the behavior of the "five" BMW in the snow.
The transverse clutch tried to evaluate the E-class Mercedes driving, performing the "elk" test. With no cone, when performing maneuvers, I did not hit, but I don't take anything about the benefits of new tires without comparison with the previous ones.
In a tire test, conducted by the expert group "Driving" (VD, 2016, No. 9), the updated "riding" Cordiant Snow Cross showed well. In 15-inch dimension, they were ahead of Michelin and Dunlop famous rivals. And the price of the third is lower: depending on the Snow Cross tire size sizer costs from 2000 to 4000 rubles.
I will start with the fact that this is my first feedback, but I could not not write. I bought Snow Cross, I can say that the tires are cool, they keep the road well, there is no hum when driving. The price and quality corresponds. I advise you will not regret. Thanks to the company's managers for consultation.
Ivan.Boys and girls! For these grandmothers, rubber tears all. The first tedos of the KM was noise, but then, right-handed, disappeared. I advise
SergeySnow fell, and I arranged a real test drive by these tires. To be honest, I do not regret that I chose them. Naturally, this is not a supere tires, but they give confidence on the road. No less lurked in the snow ... Or I have already listened.
Artem SergeevFor 6 months. The operation of the new tires of 2015 is 50 weeks for run 20 - 30 thousand. Cord breaks between the tread on 2-wheels from 4. And one more on the way. Machine light 700 kg. Conclusion: Do not take a Russian miracle. It is more expensive.
EvgenyThe strength and reliability of the tire provides both the structure and composition of the rubber itself, providing excellent driving qualities under different weather conditions, on different coatings and also in the puddles.
Rubber is very worthy, did not regret what she bought it, seasoned the season and looks still very good, I think it's enough for the years.
Cordiant has become for me good way Save on winter tires. Previously, I went to Nokian Hakk, gave about 30 to the Complete. But at the same time with finances it was not very, I decided to see what they offer from budget sneakers. I drove into the store, the seller suggested Dunlop Ice Touch, Cordiant Snow Cross and Kamu)) I immediately dropped as an option, I went at one time on the eight on it. As a result, from 2 options, the choice fell on the more budget, that is, Cordy. According to the result, as accurately not lost.
Edwardrecently I read that almost all manufacturers make rubber for the "European" winter and once again convinced of the correctness of their choice, because in minus 20 there were no problems at all! So that you understand the European winter is +5 \\ -7 somewhere, obviously not for our country!
Tires Cordiant Winter Drive. I can attribute to the advantages that in any cons fail, rows well, sticks out, too, and the price. Minus if you can call it, it later changed the rubber and noticed that I had a good way in +15
Of the advantages - the grip with asphalt and the ball under the wheels directly goes it well. Wear resistance is also at the level, quite pleasant thing. About minuses - here either from the bus itself and therefore loads are needed or with a disk problem
Bogdanrubber on solid 4
Someone here complains what loses the spikes, someone is that Klon Khaki 7, strange people. Have you heard about what studded tires need to run? I went on my 1500 km quietly, calmly and already ride the season 3, almost all the spikes with me.
And about the similarity I can tell you that it is only a plus, even if it is a clone (what's wrong), what's wrong? You get the rubber level of the premium for the price twice less, with excellent characteristics!
So on the experience of 3 seasons I can recommend, slows down, speeding
Very noisy. And some discomfort is not very clear when driving.
AlexanderPut a Cordiant Snow Cross in that year. Enough good model For lovers driving without any problems. For the period of use of claims I do not have.
Nikolaiit was running around 1500t / km, the spikes sat on their place. Now the engine is not linked everywhere for the spikes. I myself, from Kezhemsky R-she, so - what I checked the cut and goal and in the snow and off-road. So there is a figuring on solid 4, almost 5. And who does not hurt so much.
AlexeiThe first season of the tires were perfect for 18,000 mileage lost at 5-6 spikes on the wheel. In the second season for 3000 tires left without spikes. True riding mainly wet asphalt and icedoor. After 15 tons. The mileage changed places. Clear spikes not only in front but also from behind.
Very nice to ride on high-quality bus!
Victoralmost fire
Excellent tires
SergeyThe trips mostly from the village - the village, if for the winter they refund the road of the spinning three then it is a dasper fountain, there were no problems with leaving for a civilized road. It did not arise at all. On the asphalt noise and this is the only minus, with weakly negative temperatures, it is a feeling that you are going on the carpet, very gently Going. Regarding the loss of thorns, during the season, not a single spike lost, it is to be cooled to a competitive ride, and he did not complain. Winter is not time for racing where death is defeated or life, it is better to choose the last.
SergeyIn 2012, I bought a car and immediately zash, someone says that even kama will buy an al to the store and bought a new studded COORDIANT Snow-Cross tires, 2500, some say that it's better to buy something better than shit, and I will lead the results ..... In general, how dressed on the discs in 2012 did not take it once, and the departure of the 4th seasons never pumped it even, at the 5th season when the crazy had 0.5 atmospheres in a couple of wheels to regfequent Now I will shove it, this is the 7th season, 80% of spikes on the spot, and every season when I shoved, I changed the wheels the front with the rear cross on the cross and the tire pressure hold no more than 1.8 on the cold, this is enough and the hook area is more and softer and spikes do not fly, due to softness are hiding into rubber, though at any pressure, it is very noisy and balanced not very, overbalanced last year, it was the first for all the time, in short, keep kept proper pressure In the wheels and do not go to them from place and in turns and will not be worn!
AndrewBetter even than Velcro Nokia Nordman, I advise you to take without looking rudely speaking.
OlegTires are very good for economy class. Not once did not let down. Good keep the road at speed. On the snow and on the ice, everything is fine too. In general, I liked it. Even to complain about nothing. Spikes are all in place. It all depends on driving manners.
NikolaiTires are good. We exploit the car daily (on weekdays - 60 km per day, sometimes it reaches 500 km). The tires have already passed 3 seasons, lost like from four total 3 spikes. In general, the winter studded tires Cordiant had both on the previous car, also showed well. On the snow-covered highway are quite worthy and easy. The only minus that is still when you are going to feel that it is not a summer tires (it is hard for dry asphalt somehow). Well, both for me, so the car appears in the car, if the speed is above 90 km / h.
LoveThe choice is passenger winter rubber Today is so great that many drivers are quite difficult to decide on a specific manufacturer and model. Often the question is not even in price. The main criterion remains the quality and safety of motion. The implementation of both criteria promise Cordiant Snow Cross rubber manufacturers.
Customer Reviewers will help us figure out if this rubber really meets the requirements of the majority, especially since it is proposed by a fairly adequate price. Let's consistently consider all moments concerning these tires, and analyze in detail each element of their structure.
A little about the manufacturer
The Cordiant brand represents the Russian manufacturer called "SIBUR", which has proven itself for many years as a manufacturer of high-quality rubber, intended for harsh russian conditions. Since all tests are conducted under conditions as close as possible to those in which the tires will be operated, it is possible to achieve quite good results. Products are improving every year, the manufacturer creates the best winter tires, allowing you to choose the most suitable for the car and the ride style of the rubber model.
Short description model
First of all, the tires Cordiant Snow Cross studded is designed for operation on passenger cars different types. The model range has a large amount of sizes, thanks to which each driver can choose the option suitable for its car. The model saw the light relatively recently, which indicates application in its development newest technologiesavailable to the manufacturer at the moment. And every year, some edits are made in its production, which allow you to improve dynamic characteristics and general indicators in general.
First of all, the Cordiant Snow Cross PW model is focused on high-speed resistance and handling on snow-covered tracks. In order for the user only high-quality products, it is installed on all factory lines, checking each tire released. As a result, the percentage of marriage is minimal, and the guarantee provided allows not worrying about it at all.
Unique tread pattern
Although at first glance it may seem that these auto strokes for passenger cars You have already seen somewhere and the drawing seems to be pain your friends, do not hurry to conclude about the plagiarism. Many manufacturers use basic structural drawings by finalizing them in harmony with their technologies. So happened this time. The protector was created according to branded technology Snow-Cor, which pursues several goals at once. One of the main orientations is the most efficient removal of water and snow from the contact stain with the track. This is facilitated by the structure, which is a radial pattern, consigned from the center to the edges of the tire.
This approach made it possible to make rubber, which not only effectively repels water and snow, but can independently get rid of the sticking snow during the full turnover of the wheel. The average closed edge Cordiant Snow Cross R15 is intended for effective cutting of snow and the most quickly repulsion to the edges of the tire. It provides course stability at high-speed movement along the snow-covered track, as well as pair with the shoulder zones helps to make maneuvers, not much reducing speed.
Lamed as a factor that enhances the clutch with the surface
You should not forget about the structure of lamellas on the Cordiant Snow Cross rubber, the reviews about which we will look at at the end of this article. They provide the creation of a large amount of edges on the tread blocks, allowing the snow to more effectively. Their Z-shaped structure forms a large number of sharp faces, which, on the one hand, provide dynamic characteristics, and on the other, make it possible to reduce the braking path due to the effective resistance of the tread blocks.
Tire behavior with ice
Do not forget that in winter on the roads, except for snow or water, maybe a holy. In this case, a spikes made in a two-inflator embarrassment come into operation. The basis of them is made in the form of snowflakes and allows you to mostly fix the spike in the tire. With a holehead, the studded autoresina winter is considered. Velcro will never be able to cope with ice as spikes do.
Their main task is to prevent slipping with rapid acceleration, as well as the preservation of dynamic characteristics while driving. The absence of slipping positively affects fuel consumption, allowing you to save it a bit. In order for the spikes to work with greater efficiency, the scheme of their placement was thought out. And the sharp edges on the studded tread blocks provide even more high-quality hitch when driving on ice or ice, making and so the best winter tires even more attractive.
Application of a two-layer type of tire design
For the purpose of opposition uneven wear and the rapid output of the tire of the manufacturer decided to make a protector of two layers of rubber with different characteristics. Top layer is soft rubberwhich exhibits good properties with a clutch with a road surface and allows you to increase the dynamic characteristics of the tire. The inner layer is performed from more rigid rubber. This is done so that the internal tire pressure of the Cordiant Snow Cross tire is evenly distributed and could not lead to the occurrence of hernia or simply to disproportionate wear of the tread. As a result, rubber does not have a chance of the appearance of a beyon due to deformation, and also increases the resistance to punctures, cuts or shocks. Complements the picture durable metal Cord, providing stiffness all over the tire even at a plus temperature when the rubber is very softened.
Patented branded rubber mixture
The manufacturer decided not only to develop its own technology, but also to patent it to show that the development applies really innovative methods. As a result, a COR-FIX name appeared, which indicates the use of silica tires, made according to the new formula in the rubber mixture.
Thanks to this modification, the R16 rinse R16 retains the ability to remain soft even with very low temperaturesthat positively affects its characteristics. On the other hand, the additive into silicon and silicic acid makes it possible to reduce its wear when operating under the conditions of a positive temperature or when driving over purified asphalt. As a result, the rubber will be held much longer, and it does not have to change each season even with intense ride and a big kilometer.
Main positive parties on the manufacturer's application
It was time to compare, whether the manufacturer's promise itself matters regarding this auto stacks for passenger cars coincide with the opinions of users. To do this, let's briefly take a look at the list. strong Parties from developers, and then compare it with revocation of real users:
- A peculiar protector drawing, improved by branded technology, allows you to confidently move according to any type. road coatAt the same time, it provides excellent course stability and maneuverability without a threat of drift.
- The renewed rubber mixture and a thoughtful web of the lamella increases the coupling with an expensive at any circumstances, regardless of the type of road surface and its condition.
- Increasing the depth of the protector pattern, the use of a two-layer structure of its application and the additive of silicic acid into the rubber mixture significantly increased the service life of each tire separately and its strength, as well as resistance to various types of damage.
Let's now analyze the reviews and choose positive and negative opinions about the properties of these tires. Based on such information, it will be possible to conclude whether they should be purchased for their car.
Positive parties based on user reviews
It is worth noting in advance that as a result of the analysis of feedback there is a positive impression of model row, And critics to this rubber are not so much. Let's see what they say about and what users focus on the first place:
- Good rubber balancing from the plant. Most likely, the absence of unbalanced samples is determined by a good output tire quality control. Discs as a result do not look like a Christmas tree, dried by weights.
- Good resistance on dry asphalt. Frame problem The studded rubber is that it begins to slide on spikes when moving along a clean track. This model has this problem or is not observed, or minimized compared to competitors.
- It copes well both with the movement in the snow and on the ice. In the snow, the rowing characteristics of the tread manifest itself, providing a high-quality coupling with a road surface.
- Quality mounting of spikes. If the autoresina is winter (Velcro does not require such a care) is correctly tied after installation, then problems associated with the loss of spikes in the first few thousand kilometers, should not occur. The main thing is to follow the instruction manual, and do not try to squeeze out of rubber to the maximum all immediately after installation.
- Pleasant value. Given the large number of positive feedback, surprises a relatively low price, which is often characteristic of cheaper options with worse characteristics.
- Wear resistance. Indeed, the recycled formula of the rubber mixture makes itself felt and allows you to exploit the rubber much longer than before, which is poured into savings in recalculation on 100 kilometers.
On this it positive sides Do not end, but the remaining moments notes a small number of drivers, and they are not as critical. Let's now look at negative feedback on this model.
Negative sides of the analyzed tire model
Among the minuses noted by drivers, you can highlight two main, which are much more common than others. The first is a high tire noise. Even for the studded option, compared with the competitors, the rinse Winter R16 of this model is noise too loud. If this is a serious problem for you, you will have to either put up with it, or look for another option. However, given the excellent dynamic and running characteristics, you can close your eyes.
The second negative point that comes in response is the rigidity of the rubber itself. You should not confuse this indicator with the softness of the tread, there are no complaints to it. The rigidity of rubber indicates that it reluctantly adjusts to the irregularities, found on the road, so all sorts of pebbles and fragments of ice falling under the wheels are felt in the cabin if the suspension does not cope with them. Whether it is a big problem - depends on you, however, thanks to this property of the tire, the discs remain integer even with a strong impact.
Comparison of reviews and stated characteristics
As you can see, the manufacturer fully honestly revealed the main features of the tires. They are really well suited for the conditions of harsh Russian winter and allow you to confidently feel on the track regardless of the state of the road surface. If the above minuses are not too critical for you, you can safely buy this rubber, especially considering its relatively low cost. As they say about Cordiant Snow Cross ReviewsShe must justify the hopes of any driver, as it makes it possible to complete the car. This suggests that it is especially for her to pay attention to beginners who are not so good as well on the road in adverse weather conditions.
