Review on Formula Energy 205/60 R16 92V summer by Janis Janis ᠌
Full compliance with the manufacturer's assurances, high quality.
Size 185/65/15, quiet driving (70/30 highway/city), no snow or ice. I purchased a vehicle from a dealership; the tires were new from the manufacturer; I drove the vehicle for two seasons (30,000 km with a tail) before purchasing a replacement set of tires. I managed to tear the sidewalls off of two wheels on the old car (one could be welded, the other could not, and I installed a camera), so I had to pay for a new set. The new tires have lasted two seasons so far without any problems, and they've seen plenty of action—falling into deep pits disguised as small puddles while traveling at a respectable clip, getting hit hard enough to trigger the windshield wipers once—but they're still going strong. On dry and wet pavement, the tires clearly keep their course when maneuvering and slow down with dignity, the stop occurs clearly, and the ABS is practically not involved. However, as for the aforementioned virtues, over time (by the end of the second season), the resistance to aquaplaning decreases significantly, the rubber slips more easily during a sharp start, it slightly (but not critically) blows away in corners on wet pavement, and during heavy braking, the ABS is already involved. Tires, in my opinion, are best used with a relaxed driving style; if this style is followed, then the driver will experience the same level of comfort and confidence while driving in dry and wet conditions as they would when operating a boat on a placid body of water. In 2022, we will begin manufacturing tires for the renowned Pirelli brand at a price point and quality that won't break the bank.
- Protects against approaching strikes (to the tire tread) caused by obstacles in the road. It's quite gentle, despite its shockproof properties. Up to 50 kilometers per hour, they reliably hold and brake thanks to their outstanding adhesion to dry and wet asphalt on a primer. To test their durability, I drove onto a bridge at 65 kilometers per hour on spring asphalt, turned almost three-quarters of a circle with a rise, and they didn't complain, but if there was sand on the road, I wouldn't have been able to turn as smoothly. Sound that isn't particularly bothersome but is always there, even if you choose to ignore it.
- It drove around a corner and clung to the curb with its back wheel twice, ripping the sidewall like a wood-holing bird (the degree of strength is average), and both times it was in a bad mood and cursed, so it was punished. The tread becomes blocked and the arches and thresholds are struck when fine or medium fraction sand is present on dry pavement; also, sand on the pavement reduces handling and causes the vehicle to lose traction when turning (although this is more of a drawback as a result of the author's attention to detail).
