ADVANTAGES
Moderately soft, without pronounced reinforcements, but durable. The best acceleration among classmates, easy, calm and confident. The quietest of the studded, probably due to narrowing.
FLAWS
Due to the cut of the side edges of the tread, the control of handling during drift has worsened. If not for this little thing, it would be the best.
COMMENT
Auto LR FR 2 + RR Evoque.
The main habitat of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug.
It just so happened that this year it ran in the top 3 of our market. Michelin X-Ice North 4 SUV, Pirelli Scorpion Ice Zero 2 and Nokian Hakkapeliitta 10p SUV. Before them stood Nokian Hakkapeliitta 5 Sport Utility and Bridgestone BLIZZAK Spike-01. A total of 5 tires, all have the same size (235/60 R18), the same four-wheel drive vehicles, the same driving style, the same habitat.
In general, the following can be said about the new products: - if you have a simple sedan or a light crossover, and you prefer a calm driving style, at permitted speeds, then you can take any of them.
But there are still small differences between them. Due to the lack of this information on the Internet, I had to extract it myself, empirically. I hope you find it useful.
1. Real dimensions. In the same size (235/60 R18) the tread width is different. H5, P2 and B1 - 200 mm., H10 - 190 mm., M4 - 180 mm. Yes, I know that according to their laws it is impossible to measure in this way, (corresponded with MICHELIN experts), but I proceed from my own experience, and not from information in press releases. Therefore, for heavy and powerful cars or for an active driving style, it is better to take for H10 - one, and for M4 - two sizes wider than recommended. These two new products have no stock, everything is on the verge.
