Review on Toyo Observe G3-Ice 235/45 R17 94 winter by Mateusz Biakowski ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Expectations were not met, average quality.

In principle, for 185/65/r14 on Shkoda fabia 2022, it starts off pretty well on ice (while the spikes are in place), but it slows down terribly . constant ABS trips as soon as wet asphalt or ice with snow. But the main trouble is the departure of the spikes. In the rear wheels, 5% of the spikes flew out in 2 seasons, but the front axle lost more than 50%. The most interesting thing is that after the first winter, 20% of the studs flew off the front axle, and when installed in the next winter and operation, another 30% flew out in almost a week, and with a gap of 50% of the initial amount, the wife drives, complaining about the constant operation of "ABS". In parallel, her sister was taken to the Opel Corsa Nokian Nordman 4, and so there all the spikes are in place, it slows down better, and the price is exactly the same. Therefore, if there is an opportunity to take Nokian, prefer it!

Pros
  • It rows well on the threshing floor and in deep snow.
Cons
  • On wet asphalt, it slows down badly, and, well, the most important thing. After 2 seasons of operation there are no 50% spikes in the front wheels.
