Michelin Maxi-Ice
In this tire cover it is a lot of strangenesses. For example, Frenchmen have created new model not so long ago, however the name have left that was at its predecessor. Meanwhile Michelin Maxi-Ice bypasses many eminent tires without thorns in a category "the linked properties on ice". The rubber name not "from a ceiling" is taken by the manufacturer. However, there are censures from experts to behavior of this wheel on a winter snow-covered line. Therefore it is not necessary on Maxi-Ice to "lift" to itself adrenaline, as a high-speed index of this tire "Q", that is only 160 kilometers per hour. That, truth, allows the French manufacturer to declare with pride low level of noise published by a wheel. As to drawing of a protector of the given tire it is rather specific, therefore in crude weather to leave on such tire in long road it is not recommended. One more difference of this wheel from other models of the French manufacturer – "elastic enough" drawing of a protector. This new working out of concern Michelin is focused, mainly, on northern areas of Europe.Michelin Alpin
This tire has a weight of advantages, but there are also lacks. Results of the test of German magazine ADAC have shown that Michelin Alpin possesses good controllability and quite good course stability on a dry line. In the same conditions this wheel, already under magazine Auto Motor tests and Sport, advances some representatives Bridgestone and Dunlop, conceding, truth, production of concerns Continental and Goodyear. The Same magazine hasn'ted enough big brake way on dry asphalt. As to movement on snow here, by estimations of experts, Michelin Alpin can flash good indicators at drift and impressive force of draft at proslipping. In plus this wheel can put the good wear resistance provided with special structure of rubber. However tire lacks consider unsatisfactory behavior on ice and high noise level though German test pilots have awarded Michelin Alpin "label" "a good choice". This tire is widely enough presented to Russia. Many use it as all a seasonal variant as at movement during a rain it shows rather worthy qualities, comparable with those of some summer "rain" tires.Michelin Pilot Alpin
Michelin Pilot Alpin – the tire which will be of use quite good service to the drivers, often compelled to move in the winter on dry lines, but always remaining vigilant when on road is a lot of snow and a dirt. Experts mark high comfortableness of driving on the car put in Pilot Alpin, and also good controllability on a snow-covered road cloth and the linked properties on an ice-covered covering (truth, in a class of tire covers without thorns). As to the minuses marked by experts not so it is a lot of them: this tire is insufficiently reliable in management on ice. As a whole, proceeding from stability level at movement on winter road, to numbers of outstanding tires Michelin Pilot Alpin to enlist difficultly. Much explains that the given tire is focused on average and big classes of cars. The big weight of the car is necessary for steady behavior on road for it – good pressure of the tire upon a surface of a road cloth in this case is reached. It allows not only to cling to packed layers of snow, but also to destroy not thick ice layers.Goodyear Ultra Grip 6
At once we will make a reservation that, according to magazine ADAC, Goodyear Ultra Grip 6 is an excellent choice. Not all tires manage to receive so an appreciation. But from Goodyear it was necessary to expect it. On a dry line, according to German magazine, this tire cover has shown excellent results. On wet road to disciplines "longitudinal and cross-section planning", and also "controllability" UG 6 has been estimated highly enough. However, it is necessary to note the big brake way on wet asphalt and weak stability to drift. On snow all is almost ideal, and here on ice managerial processes by the car and clearing of speed pleasure can't deliver. But resistance and deterioration – are minimum. We will notice that not only ADAC highly appreciates tire Goodyear Ultra Grip 6. Results of tests of magazine Auto Motor and Sport also have shown that UG 6 in some disciplines surpasses many eminent contenders. After all company Goodyear has paid much attention to behavior of the tire in conditions when differences of temperatures lead to fast deterioration of a protector. The rubber structure at manufacturing of winter tires without thorns has a number of features, in which number – the big maintenance of natural rubber. By the nature this material is very soft that leads to its fast deterioration, bad controllability, and also average characteristics of braking and dispersal at temperatures have more 0°C than that rubber becomes too soft and elastic.Nokian Hakkapeliitta Q
The Finnish tires, seemingly, anywhere don't want to concede to competitors. With thorns they took the advanced positions in our last review of wheels. However Scandinavians and it haven't enough. Otherwise what for they have let out one more tire cover also remaining, according to experts, on a snow-covered and ice-covered line almost indisputable leader, but already among tire covers without thorns? For those who prefers quiet driving on snow or ice with high level of comfort, Nokian Hakkapeliitta "Q" is that is necessary.It is insulting, truth that the manufacturer hasn't finished behavior of this wheel in the winter on asphalt to "mind". After all in a critical situation that is marked by many test pilots, these soft winter tires increase time of reactions of the car for wheel turns. Therefore quickly to go by the Scandinavian rubber without thorns on a line it is not necessary, as the manufacturer guarantees adequate behavior of the tire only to 160 kilometers per hour – such is its high-speed index. Summing up, we will notice that, according to experts, in the conditions of severe winter will be a few tire covers of so high level.
Continental TS 790
By results of the test spent by magazine Auto Motor and Sport, tires Continental TS 790 at movement on wet road have appeared the unique winner. It has not been revealed any lack at carrying out of tests. The brake way on a wet line, for example, was the shortest. It is interesting that on passage of a distance to the car put in Continental, it was required least to time. As to movement on snow then tire covers TS 790 have proved not from the best party. Though they managed to leave behind Goodyear, Bridgestone and Michelin in discipline "braking". That it is impossible to tell about force of draft at proslipping which at Continental, according to the test, "pulls" only on a penultimate place. Speaking about movement on dry road, it is necessary to note comfortable enough driving with a noise minimum level. Resistance also is insignificant. TS 790 – the first tire cover developed of technology (CLS). It inclined provide, according to experts, outstanding draft and excellent braking at movement on a straight line on enough high speed (to 240 km/h in the winter).Crossed lines raise durability of rubber and don't allow to the tire to "float" at warm weather. They also well work in turns, keeping a wheel from drift. Simultaneously with it they are helped by the big external blocks which arrangement has been optimized by means of the computer.
Barum Polaris OR 60
The attentive reader remembers that this tire already was in the review of last number, but with thorns. It is valid so as Barum Polaris OR 60 is issued in two variants. However, in one of them the manufacturer and didn't manage to achieve worthy indicators in winter conditions. The tire cover has the directed drawing which helps it to resist effectively cross-section to planning on a wet line. German magazine ADAC, having carried out tests of this tire, hasn'ted its comprehensible controllability and course stability on a dry line, and also excellent indicators on snow-covered road. In plus to this wheel low resistance is set off. However there is still a weight of the lacks revealed as a result of the test, spent by Germans. Them concern high noise level and deterioration, weak indicators on ice (braking, traction effort, management) and on wet asphalt (braking, longitudinal planning, controllability, stability to drift on a circle). ADAC recommends operation Barum Polaris OR 60 with restriction.Pirelli Winter Direzionale 190
It is already enough old generation of winter wheels without thorns from Pirelli. The structure of these tire covers includes the dioxide of silicon providing elasticity of rubber even at very low temperature, that is actually raising level of coupling with an ice-covered or snow-covered surface. However paradox that lack Pirelli Winter Direzionale 190 is its heavy weight because of a considerable quantity all the same dioxide of silicon (silicone acid), which density above, rather than density of natural rubber.A variety of updatings of tires Winter Direzionale should satisfy all requirements of owners of cars of average and low power. Tires Winter Direzionale are issued with a profile from 70 to 60 and can possess high-speed indexes "Q" (to 160 km/h) or "T" (to 190 km/h). As to radiuses Pirelli lets out 13-, 14 and 15-inch tires.
