Type of review

It's hard to find fresh. But most likely this is due to the size features. Diversity , I bought it at one time, due to the lack of choice in dimension.

Pros
  • Quiet tenacious Bear keeps excellent track / snowdrifts 5+. Fairly soft.
Cons
  • It explodes epic, if you lost a wheel without a spare wheel somewhere near Rostov, get ready to wait a couple of days. When installed on a BMW all-wheel drive, the rear tires ran out for 45,000, the front tires will last for a couple more seasons.

The purchase brought only positive emotions.

I bought it in Kolesa, Hong Kong, at the beginning of November 2022. The impressions are based on the experience of driving after the first ice and snow, in the second decade of November, with temperature drops around zero, acc. consequences in the form of road icing in the morning. When driving both in the city and outside the city (with and without a reagent). I do not presume to judge the strength, it's too early.

Pros
  • The usual impressions of winter studless Michelin tires: soft, smooth predictable braking in proportion to the effort on the brake pedal, on ice at first it slips a little, it rides quietly. The pressure is kept normally, even indicators after the temperature drop on all 4 wheels.
Cons
  • While everything is OK, but it's too early to judge, only a month of operation.

Everything about the product satisfied me, the price is perfect.

The tires were purchased for the all-wheel drive Mercedes-Benz CLS. Dimension 255/40 R18, made in Germany. At the time of purchase, the choice of winter tires in the required dimension was small. For a long time I chose and doubted the possibilities of tires for Eurowinter. And now the second season is coming to an end. Impressions are only positive. The region of use is Hong Kong and the Hong Kong region, including distant ones. Excellent handling, comfort and a feeling of a huge supply of…

Pros
  • Comfort, handling
Cons
  • No deficiencies found

I am delighted, the product is really worthy.

I'm on my third day and can't be happier. Drove 1200km, tested in different conditions. I use it on a BMW 750 in size 245/50/R18, excellent start from traffic lights, excellent braking (100-0 on a wet road in 25-30 meters is easy!). Derzhak is simply excellent, on a 250 track that has seized with a crust, there are no demolitions when rebuilding. Starting on ice is almost the same as on studded tires. It does not burrow in the snow, it rushes like a tractor. ate: at 40 km/h the front wheel…

Pros
  • Excellent handling and braking on snow, ice, wet and dry pavement, great grip
Cons
  • Have not found

I was surprised by the quality for the price.

Excellent rubber, soft, tenacious, rows well and at the same time allows you to ride quite dynamically. The impressions are the most positive, so this year I bought a Michelin kit for the second car (BMW 528 and 750). Before that, I drove different cars on Dunlop Graspic DS2, Nokian Hakkapeliitta 8, Continental ContiWinterContact TS 860 and Bridgestone Blizzak VRX. In principle, all options are good, but Dunlop rowed like a tractor, and after 160 the car floats, Nokian is good, but the price…

Pros
  • Brand, quality, appearance, price .
Cons
  • Didn't find any deficiencies.

What you need, a cool purchase, I advise you.

And so in order: Machine CL500 rear wheel drive, size 255x40 R19. Riding aggressive gas-brake. City, outside the city. Term: - 1 season. Place of operation of Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug. 1) In frosts it is colder than -8 and at speeds; - it goes through the snow like a studded one, at a speed of 180 comfort (I don’t know from above I set limits at 180). - excellent on bare areas on asphalt, with open windows there is noise at speeds above 120 (I think from the road surface).…

Pros
  • Snow, asphalt, braking, side drift, acceleration.
Cons
  • Ice, snow at temperatures warmer than -4, rolled snow at traffic lights, can burrow into the snow.

The best thing for the money, Im glad I chose this option.

I left the season on these tires on a Mercedes E-63 AMG car (rear-wheel drive) 525l. S. Tires 255/35/19 front, 275/30/19 rear. Handling is super simple, in any mode the car steers like it’s on rails. The only minus is starting off, well, rear-wheel drive on with ESP is tolerable, but you can’t put spikes on this Meren either. Before Michelin, two seasons at Pirelli is a horror, I do not advise. Michelin is the best on the market for such cars. This winter is back on it. For rear-wheel drive and

Pros
  • asphalt/wet asphalt, snow/wet snow, braking, handling, lateral drift, acceleration, exchange rate, minimum drift. quiet, soft. Excellent handling on pavement sprinkled with reagent. Excellent road holding at speed. Also handling at low temperatures.
Cons
  • Ice and packed snow naturally. Well, what did you want from a European-level Velcro. otherwise there are no shortcomings.

Great quality, did not expect at all for the price.

I am writing from my first impressions as soon as the first normal layer of snow covered the streets of the capital. car A4 allroad 2022, B9 body, first winter, respectively, just bought tires MICHELIN Pilot Alpin pa4 r18/245/45. Fundamentally chose non-thorns, tk. according to personal observations, absolutely most of the time the wheels spend on the pavement. Even in winter, even outside the city, and on the Hong Kong-St. Petersburg highway, and even in Finland. Not to mention Hong Kong…

Pros
  • On all-wheel drive, the Quattro confidently holds the road on packed snow in a deliberately aggressive turn. Brakes on ice very confidently. Naturally not noisy. Soft but clear. A very inspiring tire. I compare with Hakka R2. Day and night in favor of MICHELIN.
Cons
  • Haven't noted any yet

One of the best offers, glad I bought it.

Before that, I drove a 325 XDrive then there was still a Pilot 3, it seems to me it was cooler, but now it’s an X5, completely different cars, both in weight and dimensions . I have to drive a lot, both in the city and in area, keeps very worthy! Above 200 did not drive, but BEFORE everything is super! For those who fry, the very thing, for ordinary crawlers, it will probably give the impression of the abolition of the laws of physics, both on ice and on a decently snowy road!

Pros
  • Great premium tires! Yes, it's expensive, but for those who want controllability at high speeds even in winter, that's it!
Cons
  • Expensive.

I do not cease to rejoice at the purchase, a very good deal!

I was afraid to buy a non-studded one, but after the Contiental ContiIce Contact BD "staggered" for 1 (!) season, I clearly understood that buying studs for asphalt was at least not reasonable, and at most - debilitating, because. money wasted down the drain + it's not safe to ride a "spike" on asphalt. I was very worried about how the Velcro would behave on ice, I checked it on the second day after the purchase - they behave chic, even the ABS did not "crack" when the brake was pressed…

Pros
  • Quiet, soft, excellent road holding (puddles, ice and asphalt - the same grip everywhere).
Cons
  • Haven't found it yet. Maybe when the temperature drops below -20 they will appear. Even the price tag of 12 / wheel I think is adequate.

Rubber in fact for dry winters. In the snowy winter, and even on a full drive, there are a lot of reservations to it, but since. the car is not the most common (M5 F90) did not affect the pleasure of driving in any way) Handing out sideways is excellent :) And if you drive adequately and turn on your head, without trying to drive in winter as if it is summer, then even with Velcro everything will always be fine . Good luck on the roads.

Pros
  • Good Velcro. Handling on dry pavement is chic, on wet pavement is also excellent. It copes tolerably with snow, does not dig in (if you do not try to storm the snowdrifts), but there are reservations.
Cons
  • Reservations are such that if there is minimal ice, then there is simply no braking. If there is heavy snow, even without ice, it is the same. Therefore, it is necessary to predict everything very strongly in advance, and drive as carefully as possible. Velcro is always Velcro, and in difficult conditions it loses a lot to spikes. But on asphalt fierce delight, of course. By the way, I still ride it (May is in the yard), and drove along the WHSD after the rain. There is a noticeable hydroplaning effect at speeds of 130-150, so you have to be very careful with ruts and puddles. If you miss, again, you can get out of the blue. But the tires are still winter, and not particularly designed for puddles. And, well, yes, I would never put it on a monodrive (but it’s understandable).

Product satisfying the quality of the product, good price.

Rubber bought for operation in St. Petersburg. We haven't had winter in the past few years. But this year naturally a lot of snow fell and there were severe frosts. So the calculations were a little off. Stands on bmw 530d, four-wheel drive. In general, more satisfied than not. I never sat down anywhere and there were no emergency situations precisely because of the tires. But again, this is more likely due to my adequate assessment of the road situation. I lived outside the city for the…

Pros
  • Excellent handling on dry and wet pavement, quiet and durable. Almost did not feel any discomfort during the transition from the summer.
Cons
  • Tires for euro winter. On snow, in principle, it’s normal, but on ice you need to be very careful and be friends with your head

A really necessary purchase, glad I found this product.

With its pros: quiet, moderately soft, quick start + predictable braking (snow, rain, dry / wet asphalt). 200km/h excellent road holding (car -BOOM HZ 3.0d) Got cons: on ice in a turn in front of the car it "slips" a little - we make allowances that this is Velcro.

What you need, a cool purchase, I advise you.

I bought this model for a rear-wheel drive Lexus IS 250. Exact parameters: 245/45 R17 99V I have been driving for the second winter (~ 10,000 km), mainly on cleared city (Minsk) and country roads. I drive without fanaticism (distance, speed, etc.) almost every day, so I get into all sorts of weather conditions. In general, rubber behaves predictably. But there are 2 points because of which I, in fact, write a review: 1) The car practically does not drive on ice. I can't safely drive into a…

Pros
  • reliable quiet
Cons
  • for European winter (for asphalt) price enough for about 30,000 km

One of the best offers, glad I bought it.

We purchased this rubber at the beginning of the season, Used on a Mercedes coupe. In the conditions of Hong Kong or on a clean track in near-minus temperatures, this is an excellent tire. On the track you can easily go 180-200, while without noise, with excellent handling. If you operate a car where the roads are regularly cleaned and the winter is relatively mild, it is definitely a must-have. You will enjoy driving. On slush or ice, everything changes dramatically. ABS, protivobuks and ESP…

Pros
  • Quiet comfortable excellent handling on dry pavement
Cons
  • Absolutely helpless if the road has not been cleaned or there is ice

Great product, a pleasure to use.

Hello everyone, I want to share my experience with winter Velcro! In the fall of last year, I got a brand new CLS. Accordingly, the question arose of choosing winter tires. Based on the recommendations, reviews of friends and my own experience (I have been driving for 14 years, I have traveled on different wheels), I opted for a non-studded one, since I drive 90% of the time in Hong Kong. I settled on MICHELIN XL PILOT ALPIN 4 255/40 R18 99V. I’ve been driving for 3 months now, I’ve driven…

Pros
  • Handling, braking, cornering, quiet
Cons
  • Did not reveal

Nothing ordinary, a normal product.

Installed this rubber on 2 cars with all-wheel drive. (MB w221 and w212) It behaves the same on both cars. (weight and dimensions are slightly different, but the weight distribution is 50:50 everywhere) I must say right away that it was taken specifically for operation in the conditions of the euro-winter. 95% of the time to drive on asphalt up to 200 km / h. He copes with his task. But no more. Clean asphalt. Everything is fine, but the braking distance is noticeably longer than that of…

Pros
  • Soft Fairly quiet Works well on dry cold pavement Handles well in the rain
Cons
  • Absolute insignificance on snow, ice and under any conditions that somehow resemble winter. Does not slow down and do not steer on slush and snowy lanes. Pulls the steering wheel to the side when the wheel hits the lane or in a snowy area. It is very difficult to regain control during demolition, you have to wait a long time until the car changes its mind, it does not respond to steering. The cost is as if the cord is made of platinum threads, and the rubber is made of natural rubber collected by virgins who have been fed lobsters, black caviar and rare species of alien fauna all their lives.
