Dmitro about the tire Continental ContiIceContact 2 SUV
If you like Yokogama, Gislaved, Dunlop - then definitely choose Conti. Velmy is inspired to keep himself on a practical surface! Trohi is warmer on the bare ice, it's beaten forging, but it's completely overdone, you just need to understand. The price is obviously not small, but she was completely right to herself! Chi does not slip on dry asphalt or on Moscow porridge, rowing on the fluffy snow, it is poured on the snowy highway. Dear m'yaka! The accuracy of the river is subjective, but the axis of the dunlop on the car of the squad just roared in pairs. One balloon (perhaps through damage to the guard) had to be balanced for a long time and painfully. But I think the claims are up to the sellers!

As short as it is, then the bus at my glance is far away, especially for a great place and vizdiv for a place, whether regular or not. Great galvanization on asphalt whether it’s wet or dry), good traction and less ruh on snow and porridge, less ruh and good galvanization on ice and on snow, quieter for thorns, absolutely imperceptible to the point on asphalt, not shy to the bіchnym zrivіv. Zovsіm small nutrition to galmuvannya on a fluffy snow - galmuє in principle good, but it could be better and better (if you want more nutrition of my testimonies, galvanizing її bliskuchі characteristics for other types of coatings).
Now it’s a report, for someone else who’s quiet and who, having read the reviews of others (I’m on the verge of all the reviews, like the SUV option, so it’s not the SUV), I’m still doubtful, I still know recently.
Having put її after 7 years of sleep on a non-studded gum (in the people "lipuchtsi"), having traveled close to 1000 km, but it already happened, having tried it already in the cold, and in the winter, and in the snow, and on the highway. Everything is clear to me, I am writing to him. Otzhe, persh for everything, the tire is miraculously attached to the asphalt. I didn’t check. The behavior on the asphalt as a whole is similar to the non-studded gum, I may not mention any difference. At the same time, she has a bunch of thorns, and for the rahunka of that won, she is perfectly trimmed for ice, and for stiffness of snow. Peretin when on asphalt is practically unnoticeable, while in Russia in the same time kermo does not smack. Perfectly galmuє yak on dry, so on wet asphalt. Until now, I can’t understand why people write about the trash of galmuvannya. Imovirno just psychologically learned to themselves that the tire was in the break-in mode and didn’t brake themselves, being afraid to damage the road to the tire. No need to be afraid!!! I didn’t fool around with any running-in, having ridden earlier on the “non-studded” one, but the first two days the distance was a couple of meters more than the trim, lower the sound. Let's understand the bus, and stop fooling around. On asphalt, the tire is a miracle, but for studding it is simply unbelievably good.
They wrote that this tire is badly trimmed with wear and tear. For me, this is an important moment and I have added significant respect to you. Specially trying to reach the vision of the rear axle, to understand the boundaries. With a stretch of two days, in one and the same turn, in case of different weather minds, I used to pick up. Dovіv swidkіst to the point of reason (in my rozіmіnі), but in reality I didn’t get it. There was no sensation in this turn, there was no splintering, I wouldn’t be on any tires anymore, without entering the bi. Zirvati went away once in the underground parking, on bare and wet concrete, in a 90-degree turn. Can Alechi be called a vision? In my opinion, 3-5 cm did not care about anything. But there is one effect - the car is in a turn, like a biply, it seems that the axle-axis is staring, that it is already on the border, but it does not stare anywhere. Ale, it seems, especially the first hour, that the back is going, present. But I repeat, I can’t see, only I can see, moreover, if it’s a speed, it’s 5 km / year. Nayimovіrnіshe through soft sidewalls. And the stench is really soft, it’s true, but I don’t want to give the tires a rating of 1, like one youngster at the top of the boat, wind a meter on them without passing through, but just touching the sidewall with my finger ... I also drank in the pits navit more seriously), and about the curb already caught it, and hit it on the new one :-). Nothing, none of them put pressure on the hernia ... So the sidewall of them is hot and soft, but the whole mitzna showed up.
In the snow it’s even better, ale galmuє in the snow, I would say. Considering the characteristics on the pavement, it’s clearly worth more, then just be respectful, be aware that what could be better and more wasted. Wanting, better for everything, tse faster nourishment of my perfectionism and, like a legacy, testimonies of ochіkuvan ...
Well, about noise - I don’t understand people who write about noise. The axis of you on the breeches will be rolled, then we will mіrkuvat like tires, but like not. Qi tires are not crowded. Better than my front non-studded ones, obviously, but without saying that it’s directly critical.
Yak pіdsumok: the tire is simply miraculous. Nareshti turned out to look like reliability and comfort, like giving the legendary, in my opinion, GoodYear Ultra Grip 500.
P.S .: I have an inaccurate report on winter tires: it’s not a Yokohama stud (I don’t remember exactly, it’s like IceGuard 35), a GoodYear Ultra Grip 500 stud, a Bridgestone IceCruiser 5000 stud, NOT a Nokian Hakapellitta R stud, not a Dunlop Grandtrek stud M3. Only the GoodYear UG500 (stud) and Dunlop M3 (NOT stud) lost good damage to the last set. I parted from them with great pity, and only to the fact that some of them were worn out, but new ones like that are no longer born. For others, bula kupa pitan. After going to Yokohama (Season 2, but it’s changed, it’s called) now they’re “sucking” like this brand in principle - it’s not so scary for me, Hakkapeliitta R - while the water is that porridge, everything is good, but in the snow the BMW was becoming more I’m completely unceremonious, but I still respectfully marvel at the protector himself and I don’t just rely on him (for reasons I didn’t look at Hakkapeliitta 7, even if R guessed me by the little one). Breeches like breeches - galaslivy, oaky, with average characteristics - such a compromise ... What's the point here? It is possible for someone to talk to you, know the names, compare them with your own thoughts and sensibility, so that you can trust yourself with my own thought ...

Bad tires. I think that stinks stand their pennies. For some points, having put 4 stars only through those that are the same 225/60, I blame not all 5 points for my car Nissan Qashqai. It was necessary to listen to sensible people and put the tires higher. Then galma - super!

Dovgo vibirav, put yaku gum on your car. Added Continental ContiIceContact 2 SUV 225/75 R16 108T XL to the pouch. By choice, in principle, satisfaction. Expensive, yes. Ale, how can I get it - the tires of that wart.
For the first time, you want to have good galvanic power on the asphalt, bezshumnist, badly passable in the snow. Dobre balanced on the disks. Shipi for 2500 km are all on the spot (the roaming spikes are close to 1000 km).

Have a good time everyone! We gave the gumu for the recommendations of numerical acquaintances and reviews on the Internet, at the time of writing the review, all the moments with tires are only positive, for the reviews it seems that the thorn on them will last a long time, well, wondering how far it will be, I can say it will be expensive in the wet , and it’s better to do it on the ice, in the snow it’s not bad in principle, but still you take a car mainly for driving on a small amount of snow, I recommend the Goodyear UltraGrip Ice Arctic, on the road with ice or on wet asphalt, shows її zovsіm is not richer, but on the snow there are no equal tires of this category, so do not take mud gum to respect. I'm more glad, I still recommend brothers to the gum from the country's virobnik - Nimechchina. Indeed, there is a great difference in the longevity of morning thorns in humi, between Russian and German humi.

Victor about the tire Continental ContiIceContact 2 SUV
Before that, there were no new specialized winter tires, the bula was studded with pozashlyakhov and boo haka 7. In the case of them, the content is simply an indication, the ideal of behavior on the road. Taking 245 / 70R17 as a replacement for the standard 265 / 65R17, the opir is smaller, the vice is one more square, optimal for winter. I was pleased with the silence, the sound of thorns a little bit when slipping, notice and other situations, if the thorns start to work. On the snow, you can row and choose from the amount. Added to the veneer when driving on forest roads. For snowy porridge, ale is predicted. The sidewall of the m'yakuvat is given to me, but the gum did not understand it, it's not a minus. Before buying, I definitely recommend.

This test will allow you to enjoy extreme testing and to be convinced of the advantages and disadvantages of a number of the main models of winter studded tires. For the alignment, ten tires of various conductors of light fittings were selected, all of which are ranked among the leaders of their industry. These tires are Nokian Hakkapeliitta 8, Continental ContiIceContact, Gislaved Nord Frost 100, Pirelli Winter Ice Zero, Michelin X-Ice North 2, Goodyear UltraGrip Ice Arctic, Dunlop Ice Touch, Bridgestone Ice Cruiser 7000, Hankook Winter i * Pike and Kama Euro -519.
Kіlkіst shipіv - turbota about roads or safe water?
When pairing models of winter studded tires, it is necessary to clearly see the problem of the number of studs themselves, installed in the tyre. Let's talk about the strengthening of the rules of victorious ships in the Scandinavian countries for a long time, and the reason is the strengthening of the demolition of the roadway. "Greens" have become hardened, that asphalt drinks are carcinogens, so that they call cancer. In 2009, a new norm was adopted - up to 50 spikes per linear meter, moreover, regardless of the width of the tread or the landing diameter of the tire. At the same time, they lost their strength and a lot of frost: the spike spikes above the tread surface are not guilty of overshooting 1.2 mm.
And what about security? Even more shipiv, tim for other equal minds will be more likely to "zachіp" for lead ... Shinnik has been deprived of the lazivka! It turns out that you can install more spikes, and even if you happen to bring more studs, don’t force a ruinous injection on the road. At the test bag, on the basis of the Finnish testing center Test World, the method of in-situ assessment of the injection of studded tires on the road surface was developed. In a nutshell, then after the same number of passages on granite tiles, the mass of tiles is not guilty of changing more, lower after such an injection of standard tires with a "legitimate" number of spikes.
Vtіm, there was no rush to drink at such a test. For example, in the company Michelin, they found out that there was no fair way to get around the new exchange - and threw all their strength into the perfect tires with a changed number of spikes. So the retailers of the new tires Gislaved Nord Frost 100 did it themselves. And the reshta?
According to the latest program, the reshta have taken advantage of their tire pressures in order to release more tires studded according to the old rules (no more than 130 studs for 16-inch tires). Adzhe nabuv chivalnostі 1 line of the fence is worth the release itself, but not the sale of tires with "wrong" spikes!
The first time the company Nokian Tires went its own way: the number of spikes on the tires of the new Hakkapeliitta 8 model did not change, but grew a second time! Naturally, after passing the test, moreover, as it became known to us, yoga was held at the Test World test site, and at the wet testing center near the town of Nokia. It appears that it is possible and so - under the supervision of an official poster from the Trafi transport security agency. Competitors, of course, made a fuss - talking, with such a large number of spikes, it is impossible to successfully pass the test!
Testing on ice
The team of testers is accepted for their hard work. One after the other sets of tires are given to the most common trials in the very same ones on є krizhanyh minds. Nareshti, testing for "rozgin-galmuvannya" the last, tenth set of studded tires - and ... The first sensation! The smallest galm_vniy way on a rack of tires ContiIceContact. Well, the stinkers have secured the car and am improving the dynamic dynamics. Let's not worry about the "naїzhuvalis" tires Nokian Hakkapeliitta 8 is not great, but there it is! Tobto 190 spikes, which were hung in 18 rows, work on ice no better, below 130 spikes, arranged in 12 rows. Every time in 14-degree frost. Why? That one, in order to reduce the slippery inflow on the roadbed, the Finns had a chance to change the design of the studs: the stench is not only lighter, but less - in height and in diameter - quiet, as vikoristan in Continental tires. It's quiet, as it was stuck in Nokian Hakkapeliitta 7 tires earlier.
The two leaders step on five new Pirelli Winter Ice Zero tires.
Gislaved Nord Frost 100 tires are another bright novelty of this season. There are already 96 "legitimate" spikes - and the stench will take care of a whole day of galvanization on ice, if you want to break it - only eighth result. In front of us, we oppose and know from the torsional tests of the Goodyear UltraGrip Ice Arctic and Dunlop Ice Touch and Michelin X-Ice North 2 tires. Why are Michelin introducing X-Ice North tires of another, and not the third generation? The company lied that before the official vysnovka on the market of a new model, it’s better not to give any tire for equal tests.
New products before the winter season were prepared by the Bridgestone company, and then they were encouraged to submit them to the official premiere. That's why in the dark hall - Bridgestone Ice Cruiser 7000 tires, which in winter will be actively sold on our market.
The Korean school is represented by Hankook Winter i * Pike tires, and the Russian school is represented by Kama Euro-519 tires. On the ice, the results for both the quiet ones and the others are very modest. Ale, for the time being, the language will go only about zchipnykh yakostyakh in the later straight.
The assessment of keratinization began from driving along an ice stake with the maximum possible wind speed, and continued on a winding track, it was broken for an hour of a stake, and a subjective assessment of goodness and reliability of management. The Nokian Hakkapeliitta 8 tires have the right to win over the edge. Vidminno trim ruh in corners, perfect control over the car on the highway! So you can boldly recommend them to those who watch amateur ice races: "take" a couple of seconds from a stake - no problem!
Tires Continental - in another place, and close behind them - this is a friend, let it be small, but still a sensation - Gislaved tires. The stench was allowed to drive the car in a spirited way along the winding highway.
Another surprise was the Goodyear UltraGrip Ice Arctic tires. Behind them, the car is badly galmuє and breaks up, but in the corners it trims badly and winds up a couple of times "jumping" from the crying road. Fortunately, there are not meters of kuchuguri around, but swarms are safe with a ten-centimeter ball of fluffy snow.
Snow element
On the next day the frost dropped from fourteen degrees to minus seven. There is a 600-meter track with ideally hardened snow at the order of the testers. The robot will be monotonous: up to 50 km / year, galvanization, new galvanization, new galvanization ... However, earlier in the water, the jewelry robot would need pedals to turn off the wheel slippage at the start and blocking during the galvanization, then now for the electric - Traction Control and ABS. And it seems like it’s not a problem that you can get along without water.
We marvel at the results of the manual testing in the snow. It doesn’t matter if the stinks are closer when galvanized: the difference between the shorter tires (Dunlop Ice Touch) and the bigger ones (Bridgestone Ice Cruiser 7000) becomes less than three meters, which fits into ten hundred kilometers. When rozgonі rozkid trohi more, close to 20 vіdsotkіv, and the favorites here are the tires Nokian Hakkapeliitta 8. So the fins conjured not only with studs, but also with a tread - even on the snow, it’s not the spikes that are important, but the tread.
І on the track of keratinization, which is more likely to be like yalyka and boulders sticking with snow, the quietest on Nokian tires: quick reactions and more controllable forging. Moreover, in forging, it’s better not to use a galmovuva, otherwise the “turn over” is turned on by the button, the stabilization system and the pace will decrease. One more show: although on Nokian tires the stabilization system was “awakened” only once, then on other tires it was activated much more often - through pardons, called out by stretched forges (they were especially embarrassed by the Bridgestone Ice Cruiser 7000 and Kama Euro-519 tires).
Driving on asphalt
At the beginning of spring, winter testing was supplemented by a cycle of "asphalt" tests. On the back they marveled, how to drive the tires on a snow-water porridge, the asphalt curved with a smooth ball. The depth of this ball is only 3.5 cm, and the Hankook tires are fused at a speed of 19.4 km / year. In the meantime, not far away and better in what kind of test the Bridgestone tires - their distance is 21.2 km / year. And on wet asphalt, already without a house in the snow, the shortest galvanized way to the fairing of Gislaved tires, and the highest - at Nokian Hakkapeliitta 8.
On wet pavement, Nokian Hakkapeliitta 8 tires performed badly, on dry pavement they showed one of the best results in galvanizing. Tse, to the point, I’ll tell you again that modern studded tires work on asphalt not harder, but sometimes they’re better than non-studded tires of the Scandinavian type - quiet, which is commonly called Velcro by the people. Tse vіdbuvaєtsya zavdjaki more zhorstkіy humі, yak nebhіdna for nadіynoї fixatsії thorns. Still in use is the myth about those that a studded tire rolls on asphalt, spiraling more on thorns, lower on gum. But really, the spikes, sticking with the asphalt, are sunk into the body of the tread, practically not changing the gum contact with the road. Vtіm, everything should be laid down, depending on how you want to install a virobnik, creating a specific tire model. By changing the little tread, hardness and chemical storage of rubber, you can change the balance of hardness, influencing either the behavior on slimy winter coatings (ice, snow), or on asphalt.
The Dunlop Ice Touch tire model has this balance clearly out of place on asphalt: the Audi A3 is galvanized and most responsive to sharp turns of kerma. And the axle on ContiIceContact tires is a galvanized track, both on dry and on wet asphalt, a couple of meters deep, so that it will outperform "wintering" hardness.
The axis of why studded tires are always programmed without studding, so in acoustic comfort. There is clearly more noise from them, especially as there are as many as 190 spikes in the tread, like in Nokian tires. In the meantime, and with a smaller number of spikes, the tires of Kama Euro, Pirelli, Continental and Bridgestone clatter about the same way. And the silent tires themselves are Michelin X-Ice 2. Stinks are in order with Nokian Hakkapeliitta 8 tires and hired.
How can soft tires behave like that, having drunk into a pit or having flown onto a ledge of asphalt? The team of testers made a winter tire similar to the experiment. At a speed of 40 km / year, the car needs to be installed under a 30 degree steel channel - a piece of a U-shaped beam. As the tire vitrimal, the test is repeated already at a speed of 45 km / h. And so until the quiet fir, until the tire does not "let the breath go". Don't mess with the upgrade of the brand new Audi A3, replace it with a Mercedes-Benz C 180.
Bridgestone tires hit the most: hit them far away at 70 km / year! And it’s not vipadkovo: during the development of their tires, the Japanese insure the specifics of bad roads, reinforce the design and themselves revise it with crash tests.
It is worthy to take a hit and Continental tires - the stench was built at a speed of 60 km / h. speed of 40 km/h. As a result, the Michelin X-Ice North 2 tire, with a scratchy hole, is driven to the fore. Everything has become clear again: the French company is adding more and more respect to the lowered support of the stiffness, for the sake of which the sidewall fights more and more thinly (at the same time, the hysteresis losses are reduced in such a way - energy is spent on heating due to deformation).
So the tires were turned over to opir kochennya - for the help of a big drum. It turned out that Nokian Hakkapeliitta 8 tires are easier to wear than Michelin X-Ice North 2 tires. Ale without studs, shards of studded tires damaged the surface of the drum. It’s not a fact that the rating won’t change with spikes. Vtіm, in pererakhunka on vitrata the difference is still small - the main mass of tires is 0.2-0.3 l / 100 km. And the difference between the "economical" and the "non-fueled" tires themselves (Bridgestone tires were spotted with them) is 0.6 l / 100 km. And yet, the experiments were carried out without spikes, and the results were not insured when the sub-bag scores were taken.

- Keratinization on ice and snow
- Galmivni vlastivostі on dry asphalt
- thickness
- High price
With such and such a number of spikes, the victory over competitors, especially in ice disciplines, is simply devastating! Ale, on the right, was simply overpowered, without a rout. On the route of keruvanity - the best hour, keruvati with a car one is satisfied. But the advantage over the ContiIceContact tires, which have 60 less spikes, is insignificant, but in terms of the dynamic dynamics of the Continental tire, it is shorter. That's why the spikes in the tread of Finnish tires are hot and rich, but the stench is small: the diameter, the height of the spike, the width of the carbide insert - everything here is smaller, lower for Continental tires. Possibly, at higher high temperatures, on "soft" ice, the effectiveness of "dry" spikes would be higher, but our tests took place in 14-degree frost.
On the snow, Nokian tires are traditionally good: accurate and timely reactions to kermo and gas.
Ale on the asphalt, the behavior is unstable. While Nokian tires are good on a dry pavement, they are good on a wet pavement - they find a galvanized track. And ochіkuvanim nedolіkom becoming "sverblyachiy" sound from thorns, which does not leave the salon in the entire range of swidkost.

Qi tires miraculously trim the blow. The thorns in them are trimmed to the last: in order to make the studs stick to the glue, it is necessary to report the susilla 2-2.5 times higher in pairs with other tires.

- The dominance of chipping and keratinization on ice

- The power of chipping on asphalt
- Pomіrnі poznіniki kerovanostі on snіgu
"Chi is not a number, but vminnyam!" The tread of Gislaved Nord Frost 100 tires has a total of 96 spikes with a standard wilt, and on ice, the tires are better than the tires with 130 spikes. On the road of keratinization - the third hour, but when you see the leader, you may have more thorns, less than a second! It was not for nothing that German tire manufacturers (Gislaved today - for 100 tons of Continental product) worked on a new tread and new "tricky" spikes! Forging is small and easy to control.
I’m on a snowy day of conduct, wanting on the route of keratinization to respect sharp eyes in forging.
Then on the wet asphalt - the smallest galvanized way! At the same time, the tires make little noise and softly "forge" unevenness.
In general, they are well balanced winter tires: they are designed to work on winter tracks and may be ideal for local use. And the price looks reasonable.

Pirelli Winter Ice Zero
Global rating: 8.7
- The power of chipping on ice
- Pomіrnі pomirnі pokanovanosti pomirnі і snіgu
- thickness
The tires were used for our test for the second month before the official premiere (AR No. 17, 2013) - we didn’t know the correct name of the model, the shards on the smooth sidewall were always marked. Ale and the protector, and the spikes of the new design were already "commodity" - now the insert, and the spike body can be folded trapezoidal shape.
Because of the late dynamics on ice, Pirelli tires can go on a par with the leaders of the test. Ale on the road of ceramics, there were sharp sights in the forging. In the meantime, Pirelli tires, whether winter or summer, always endowed the car with more welcoming, sporty reactions.
A similar behavior is observed in the snow, but here the most important powers in the later days directly appeared on the middle level.
Axle on asphalt - garne upovilnnya, moreover, like on dry, so on wet.
The smoothness of the course is good, but there is a lot of noise - a rumble is a little bit on the roll in Russian.
Let it be with the guards, but it is also recommended to wear it - in the first season, whoever rides the bribe is important to clear the snow from the streets of the city.

Michelin X-Ice North 2
Global rating: 8.5
- comfort
- The power of chipping on wet and dry asphalt
- Lack of Opir Shuga
- Low shock impact
If on the cob of a fierce we carried out this test for the participation of Michelin X-Ice North 2 tires, we received a request for the official premiere of tires of the upcoming generation -X-Ice North 3. But try all the new tires for the test, they declared a fiasco! Meanwhile, in Russia, the novelty will not appear in the usual dimensions and half of the sales of Michelin studded tires will be brought to the X-Ice North 2 model.
Good tires, moreover, because of the pronounced family peculiarity of Michelin tires - the high stability on the slimy road and soft, the transitional processes are understood. It's nasty, that the forgings themselves would try the trochs more, they would like to.
This also manifested itself on the asphalt: the forging was stretched out, and the "rearrangement" was changed to a high speed. Then there are no problems with galvanization, but even more comfort is more than any praise: tse hiring and quiet tires in our test!
The sidewall should be smaller, otherwise, when hitting a "reshkoda", a thin gum is torn already at a speed of 40 km / year, while more tires are trimmed up to 50 km / year, and the deacons are overwhelmed with a large number and at a greater speed.
On the whole, winter tires are more comfortable, which makes it easier to win on the streets of great cities.

Goodyear UltraGrip Ice Arctic
Global rating: 8.4
- Galmive power on ice and snow
- The power of chipping on wet and dry asphalt
- shock mentality
- Keratinism on ice
- Traction capacity in the snow
Presented in the past year, Goodyear UltraGrip Ace Arctic tires were once again among the leaders of our trials, but in the last few years they were not hitting the floor. The reason could be the change of the weather, the progress of competitors, but let's face it, on the right - in a smaller stud. The thorns themselves - "cocked hats" did not change, but more of them appeared to be superimposed embedded in the tread - the wilt averages 0.9 mm against 1.2-1.3 mm for competing tires. Here it is necessary to find out the reason for showing the leader in the test and in the race, and in the galvanization on the ice. And on the kerosene track, it’s already going beyond the bounds of decency: Audi A3 on Goodyear tires to pass the 800-meter track ten seconds longer, lower on Nokian tires! In the past, we have indicated that Goodyear UltraGrip Ice Arctic tires work better in the later straight, lower in the transverse, and at the same time, the imbalance has grown - the car is trimmed badly on the tire!
In the snow, the situation with keratinization is worse, but there are problems with dispersal. On the asphalt - on the rivers of the middle peasants. Cicavo, that the clatter of thorns is not a little bit, but the tread itself curls in the entire range of swedes.
The axis of what these tires unequivocally pleased with, so I stand up to blows: in this discipline - the third place.
With normal studding quality, the tires could easily compete with the leaders, but for the subbags of our test, we would not recommend tying the tires on cars without electronic stabilization systems.

Dunlop Ice Touch
Global rating: 8.3
- Galmive power in the snow
- Keratinization on ice and snow
- fluency
For the bag rating, Dunlop tires are 0.1 points less than Goodyear tires. No wonder: the Dunlop brand is now three quarters of the Goodyear concern, and the Dunlop Ice Touch and Goodyear UltraGrip Ice Arctic tires were developed by the same team of engineers. Little protectors are different, but everything else is the depth of the grooves, the hardness of gum and thorns is the same. It’s a pity, however, and the studding is the same: the studs in Dunlop tires also appeared to be planted more, lower required. To the point, and the tires are churned at the same plant in Poland.
Similar problems with keratinization on ice: in the transverse direction, Dunlop tires trim slightly higher, lower in the late. Driving a car along a winding track is smooth through sharp, unstoppable sights in forging.
Then on the snow - minimal galmivny way! When you break it and show signs of keratinization, they are the same "blah", like on ice.
And the axis on a dry cover - the minimum galvanized way and the maximum speed of the "rearrangement". The car clearly and quickly reacts to kerma turns, which is very rare for winter tires! True, there is a side effect - increased hardness with the passage of other irregularities.

Global rating: 7.5
- High shock mіtsnіst
- High Opir Shuga
- The dominance of chipping and keratinization on asphalt
- The dominance of chipping on ice and snow
- comfort
- Keratinization on ice and snow
Aggressive, crippled by a frayed tread of frilly lamellas, the protector - and were embroidered into 14 line spikes. Ale studded zvichayn - with cylindrical inserts, that tread guma is not "chipka" on the floor, like competitors, about which it is better to note the increased hardness - 20% more in the case of Nokian tires. And as a result - very modest zchіpnі authorities both on the ice and on the snow. The keratinization also fills the bag of the best (the tightness in the corners is surrounded by the non-acceptable forging of the front axle).
The axle on the snow-water porridge tires Bridgestone merge the other. That one on the asphalt is practical: on the "rearrangement" of the reaction, such a shock and exactly, no car "bumps" not in winter, but in all-season tires. And the most impenetrable sidewalls were potted. Ale and here is a compromise: a bigger sidewall and a bigger zhorstka, so Bridgestone tires are not in the best rank to add to the smoothness of the ride.
Tires Bridgestone Ice Cruiser 7000 melodiously know your poor purchase, especially in glibinets - there, de tires often change not through wear of the tread, but through removal in the pits of "holes". Meanwhile, this autumn, dealers will propose an alternative to Ice Cruiser 7000 tires - the new Blizzak Spike-01 model (details - in the next issues of the Autoreview), or evaluate the improvement in the framework of the epoch-making test, we may not do it in the next round.

Hankook Winter i * Pike
Global rating: 7.5
- The dominance of chipping and keratinization on dry asphalt
- The dominance of chipping on ice and snow
- Low Opir Shuga
- The power of chipping on wet asphalt
Even at the stage of "static" trials, we let Hankook tires in this test run: more spikes of ice protrude above the tread line. Yes, yak_ podnosyatsya less than 0.3 mm! On the ice, such spikes, obviously, do not work - the car is dangerously slipping and when galvanizing, and in turns. And yet, at the same time, we take a decent assessment for the superiority of management: for example, a forging machine and that’s right, but the boundary, according to the most important authorities, looks good, see the m’yaki, in the presence of a distant balance of znesennya and zanesennya. Buvaye and so.
Meanwhile, Hankook tires could not shine in the snow, de studs no longer play a great role. The tread does not cope well with drainage functions - on the snowy (snow-water sum) Hankook tires are merged earlier than others. Poor stinks work on wet asphalt (the galmivny way is great) - and only on dry asphalt everything is more or less in order. Alecia is not enough, to recommend the Hankook Winter i * Pike tire as winter. True, there is an argument that sounds stronger than arguments about safety: Hankook tires are twice as cheap as Nokian tires.

Kama Euro-519
Global rating: 7.1
- Galmive power in the snow
- The power of chipping on ice
- Keratinization on ice and snow
- Low level of comfort
Regardless of the little tread, the Nokian Hakkapeliitta 4 tires, the Russian Kama Euro-519 tires, cannot yet compete on equal terms with imported analogues. The heights of authority in the snow are reassured, but on the road of kerosene all the hopes are revealed. It's easy to "fuel" a car into a turn, and before the skin one it needs more strength, to lower the speed with smaller tires, to reduce the speed.
The picture is vague and on the ice: forging is so badly forecasted and badly controlled. That z galmuvannyam on the ice is a problem. The reason seems to be the same as the one with Hankook tires: lack of protrusion of the studs over the tread surface. In the middle - 0.8 mm: such a villot is not enough for a garni "hook" on the ice.
On asphalt, the tires run on the middle level. When vikonnі sharp maneuvers of reaction to the kermo "smeared". Let the thorns lightly bother the clatters, the tread is good non-abyak. І on the unevenness of the busbar one of the highest.
So, Kama Euro-519 tires took the rest of the test in our test. And if you remember about the price and about the dawns of the warehouses of the participants, then not just stay, but more honorably stay the place. And if the virobnik establishes control over the quality of hissing, then, marvel, you can lay claim to more high and not less honorable places.

It’s hard to show your current world without cars today. A trip to the court of the region for a couple of years, or a trip to the store for a couple of credits. It's handy, isn't it? And all the comfort can be found in a variety of factors, including the operation of the engine, tire mill, etc.
The motor of a car is broken once at the factory, and the first term of service is viable for hundreds of thousands of kilometers in a run or dozens of years. With tires, everything is richly folded, you need to “call” the car according to the season and constantly walk behind the camp of the wheel gumi. Not less important is the choice of tires.
UVAGA! Knowledge is an absolutely simple way to speed up vitratu paliva! Do not believe? An auto mechanic with 15 years of experience has not yet tried it. And now you can save 35,000 rubles on gasoline for rivers!
So, a lot of car owners are wondering about food - what is better, Nokian or Continental? To know the difference on the food chain, you need to get acquainted with the main models of these brands, including the features of the summer and winter versions of gumi.
Wimogi up the tires
Why do we look like tires? When choosing gumi for car, see next for yourself
I have 4 factors:
- The term of operation. If you don’t want to get tires already after a few months of driving, it’s better to choose a really high-quality option.
- Endurance. For the minds of non-acidic road coverage, this parameter is more important. The integrity of the tires is not to blame for the wickedness of a small kamіnchik or a gіlka.
- Bezpeka. Particularly relevant, yakscho mova ide about the winter hum. Through the savings on tires, spend in an accident with an ozhelede? Far from being the best option, you are guilty of buti being implicated in the quality of an automobile “out of the blue”.
- Spіvvіdnoshnja tsіni i akostі. Everything is simple here, buy huma, if you happen to get out soon - there is no sense, but you don’t want to spend pennies on high-road tires. You can solve this problem by buying tires, which are priced in the middle category and have high performance characteristics. Before such, one can compare the products of the NokianContinental companies.
When choosing a tire, it is not varto to spiral only on the price. Definitely, the tires cost more, lower products of other companies, and then the order of service of Nokian and Continental products will surpass the rich competitors.
Advantages of Finnish products
Nokian is the largest manufacturer of car tires in Scandinavia, and the headquarters is located in the Finnish city of Nokia, which is also famous for mobile phones.
Nokian today produces summer, winter and all-season tires. Among the products of the company there is gum for passenger cars, industrial vehicles, minibuses and small businesses. Such an assortment allowed the company to reach a wide audience of patrons.
Also, the rulers of the fіnskoї gumi vіdznayut so_ perevagi goods:
- Functional design of spikes. On the large models, the thorns make up six faces, behind the starry look of the stink, a rhombus is guessed. This form allows you to secure the connection between the wheels and road surfaces;
- Reduced thickness. Motorists, who have ever traveled in the winter hour, know how much noise they see wheels. The Nokian company solved the problem of the streaks of open space under the thorns;
- Great gum. Yakіsny material significantly podzhuє termіn service tires from Nokian. Also on the gum there is a special indicator that looks like a snowball, if it is worn out, it is necessary to change the tires;
- Modern technology RunFlat. It is designed for situations where the car is in trouble, in such a position on flat tires the car can travel at least 50 kilometers.
Positive aspects of German tires
The company Continental is engaged in the manufacture of tires, as well as the processing of rubber. The backwaters of this virobnik are in dekilkoh European lands. Among the products are tires for bicycles, motorcycles, agricultural equipment and important machines. Sound, comrades, as if vibrating in Nіmechchinі, in the house with high vigor, and the tires are not vinyatok.
advantages:
- Gumi's attachment to weather minds. There is a special warehouse of gumi on the vicarious plant, so the tires show how cold it is in the winter hour, so it’s hot in summer. At the same time, the elasticity and performance of the tires are taken into account by the long term of the tire service;
- High endurance. The very characteristic determines the quality of the tires;
- Operational characteristics. With the choice of such tires, water and yoga passengers can feel safe, the galvanized path will be small, and the curing will be lost on a high level;
- Tread. Little ones on tires of equipment with a large middle part, locks and small sidewalls. Your car will be stable on the highway at the boards, the winds of the system will lead you to the water;
- Like Finnish virobniks, Germans actively fight against vibrations and noise when driving.
Summer gum in the assortment of virobniks
When testing summer tires, where more than a dozen different tyres, Nokian NRHi and Continental PremiumContact tyres, took the fate of the most. Therefore, it is necessary to be aware of the peculiarities of these models.
Main characteristics of NRHi:
- Rosemary - 185/65 R15;
- Shipping index H (210 km / year);
- Tread depth - 7.7 mm;
- Viroblyayetsya in Finland.
The Nokian company has reached the level of small producers on the market of tires, but also high-quality wedges, Finnish products have become popular far beyond the borders of Scandinavia. At the same time, manufacturers of companies are engaged in the distribution of modern summer tires, and if they come out, let's talk about the NRHi model. In the tires with NRH2 front, the new tires show much better results.
On dry pavement Finnish tires react even more smoothly, it is not easy to keep control over the car at the very sharp turns. And even more amazing behavior of NokianNRHi on wet pavement, the tightness of the flooring, so that the car literally sticks to the road. Sharp turns will also not become a transition for management, there will be no problems with management when forging. Little tread tires can withstand water. If you are talking about shortcomings, then this tire model is noisy.
Features of PremiumContact:
- Rosemary - 185/65 R15;
- Swedish index H (210 km / year);
- Tread depth - 8 mm;
- Viroblyaetsya in Nіmechchinі.
The amount of digging is great, and it is possible to have a sprig of daughter filials, but with such productivity, it takes only a quarter of the space with a girth of close to 7% of the market. Є backwaters in various lands, including the Moscow plant in Russia.
In various tests, the PremiumContact tire model has already taken a lot of fate, and is still practical to enter the top three. Today, a lot of experts are concerned that the same summer tires are better than the products of competitors, and they can only be compared with Nokian products.
The PremiumContact model is highly resistant and has poor connections with the road. The little tread of the tire is easy to bring in water, like on a straight line, and on the turns. Ale, the most common spelling is written to keratin, in sleepy weather, or under an hour, there will be no problems with cym. The tires are in no way hotter than Nokian products, and you can turn them over by smothering noise.
Winter tires
In the middle of the “buzz” for the winter hour, Hakkapelitta tires from the Finnish tyre, and ConticleContackBD from the German are popular. The grievances of the model were repeatedly evaluated by experts in various trials. Dosit tsіkavimi buli results when dispersed on ice:
- Hakapelittta from stiffness to axle box to go even more smoothly;
- ConticleContact, Navpaki, svidshe go into slippage after dispersal, and it’s more difficult to slander the thin line.
For keratinization, the finishes appeared three times better, and for the swidth, the products of the Continental outdid the competitors. After the German tires, deep and great traces are covered, and after the Finnish ones, none of the ice was shattered with the spikes of the boots.
Even though ConticleContact behaved like a charm on the ice yard, then on a lowered level they show good other results. Shini Nokian allow shvidshe to pay vіdstani. And all the cracks of kerosene, with Continental tires on the turns and ice floes, you can get a little bit off the wind, and Hakka allows you to do that without any problems. There is everything about the dekilka seconds of retail, but here the fins showed themselves better.
Behavior of these elements for two tire models is different:
- On the winter humi of the Continental, the droplets of spikes stand on the same level with the wheel tread. With such tires you can feel safe on winter roads;
- In Hakkapetitta, during operation, the spikes do not climb so quickly and not so much. And yet, the bondage between the slimy road surfaces is overgrown on a high level.
Zagalna characteristic of winter tires
Zimova Guma:
- Continental. The ConticleContact model is sure to feel at a slimy cost and allows you to ride comfortably. Vlasnik of such tires does not get caught, so the thorns fall and the keratinization becomes louder. Tse perevіreny variant of high vigor;
Nokian. Possibly, not so strong results, like German tires, but Finnish products are far from available. If you thorn and see, then it’s more like a rush of a fierce one. For cars with moderate pressure, you can boldly buy tires with the beautiful name Hakkapelitta.
The theme "with spikes or without?" іz'ezzhena already vzdovzh i across. Russian cars in our days rarely buy domestic cars, in order to win over foreign car dealers. So, from the point of view of buying tire products, we often marvel at imported tires, the manufacturers of some of which only recently began to purposefully manufacture tires, which are recognized for operation in the countries of the country with the best winter minds. Otherwise, it seems that marveling at those who ride behind the cordon on tires without studding (moreover, in some countries it is allowed to put studded tires only in the interval between the hours) is not a shortening option.
Imovirno, a large car with all-wheel drive - poshlyahovik - all-season tyres. It is enough to correctly choose the design of a small tread of a pozahlyakhovo ї tire - which will seriously improve the minds of exploitation (driving on uncleaned ford and snow roads, trips for a place), it is more aggressive to blame buti small tread tires for a pozahlyakhovik.
Prote, for the smart minds of the Russian winter, studded tires are more likely to be used. Put respect on them, choose winter tires for the poshlyahoviks. Candidate number one, obviously Nokian. Who in Russia doesn’t know about them? Obviously, you can make a sour disguise and call everything for “brudny PR”, but Nokian tires are really good for peters. Being distributed in our shore Finland, Nokian winter tires are for foreigners, and for any other cars, or rather for all parking for our climate minds. The Nokian Hakkapeliitta SUV 5 has already fallen in love with a new model of hard-to-reach tires for Nokian Hakkapeliitta SUV 7. The Nokian Hakkapeliitta SUV is safe for you. Miraculous rolling, good galvanic characteristics on snow and on ice, controllable handling when forging, also posh tires Nokian Hakkapeliitta SUV 7 perfectly cope with maneuvers on the ground. Ale navit not broken uphill the price will be the main minus when choosing. On a dry road, the tires for the Nokian Hakkapeliitta SUV 7 with a tumbleweed are not adequately handled: they roll from the side to the side, they don’t roll much (and on a wet road, the tacky characteristics are lower than the average), and the rollover is also unacceptable.
The next recommended candidates are products of the Continental campaign. The front leader of the line of tires for the off-season tires Conti4x4IceContact is successfully introduced in the future the new off-road tires ContiIceContact, expanded for operation in the countries with the Nordic winter tax (Sweden, Norway, Finland). Continental ContiIceContact - universal winter tires, and the range is available to be made available for all-wheel-drive poshshlyakhovik, and for compact cars. More tires for pozashlyakhovik Continental ContiIceContact may mark XL (Extra Load) - it means that the tire is designed specifically for great vanity. Here we need to make the sea more satisfied, lower Nokian: and on the snow, and on the ice, a beautiful rozgіn, more comfortable galvanism and simply enchanting kerovanіst. The cross-sectional cleatage of the ContiIceContact tires is 8% larger, the lower one is for the Hakkapeliitta SUV 7, and it inconspicuously improves stability and controllability on the slimiest ice. Also, the tires for pozashlyahoviks Continental ContiIceContact are significantly less thick. У загальному і цілому, практично у всіх показниках (включаючи ціну), позашляхові шини Continental ContiIceContact зададуть жару шинам для позашляховиків Nokian Hakkapeliitta SUV 7. Виключення становить прохідність в глибокому снігу: тут ContiIceContact і рушають менш впевнено, і, якщо перебуксовать, можуть в сніг get excited.
Offensive tire models for post-seasoned tires may have even more studs, ContiIceContact has two more studs (130 pcs.), Lower for Hakkapeliitta SUV 7, and the studs themselves are short (by 0.1 mm). The depth of the little tread for superniks is the same and becomes 8.9-9.4 mm. The Continental ContiIceContact tires have an asymmetric tread pattern, while the Nokian Hakkapeliitta SUV has 7 tread patterns.
