Review on Triangle Group TR968 225/55 R17 101 year old by Stanislaw Plonka ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The item is ok but not fully compliant with the description.

I took new rubber along with new casting, dimension 205/55 R16. The very first balancing upset me a little, as much as 85 grams were hung on one of the wheels, on the other 70, 55, 35. In fairness, it should be noted that it also depends on the tire fitters, sometimes it’s enough to crank the rubber a little and re-inflate (so that the rubber “try” better lie down on the disk). But the mood was raised by the finished look of the wheels, plus - the rubber lay down a little with a ledge, thanks to which for 2 seasons of operation there was not a single scratch on the disks from grinding to the curb - like new ones. He suggested that it was just that the rubber had not yet found itself and after running it would be balanced better - a load of 85 grams. decreased, but the total weight on 4 wheels remained the same. In shortcomings, he indicated uncertainty on a wet surface - when driving in the rain (not a shower, the wiper in intermittent mode or in the first constant) at a speed of about 90 km / h, getting into a very shallow rut (not noticeable in sunny weather) of one of the parties causes aquaplaning, a couple of times the heart went into the heels - unpleasant (with such a tread pattern, I did not expect this, it was not like that on the "bald" matador). And the noise, a very loud, annoying noise, more correctly, a rumble. After the winter Gislaveda NF3 it seemed that he moved from Skoda'y Octavia Tour to "shishiga" and drove on asphalt. Friends, getting into the car, began to say that all my wheel bearings buzzed after the winter, not knowing where the buzz actually came from. After passing 40 thousand km. tread wear is uniform and generally small, I think another season 2, and maybe 3 is moving away. In general, it probably justifies its money, but I won’t take similar rubber for myself anymore - I really want silence))

Pros
  • price, looks, durable enough
Cons
  • noise, poorly balanced, uncertainty on wet surfaces
