Windforce Icepower

I first monitored this company on the internet, it has been on the European market for a long time. They mainly supply tires for trucks, but have recently expanded their product line... and started producing tires for passenger cars as well! There are almost no reviews available! I purchased these tires in the spring of 2021, the tires are quite soft and quiet, probably due to the quality of the rubber and the tread pattern! I tested them on snowy slush and on inclines, what can I say!?) I was pleasantly surprised by this tire, I didn't think the quality would be so good.

I will continue to update my review as I use them further...

I bought them more out of curiosity, wanted a budget option and now. And, all in all, I'm completely satisfied with the tires! The only drawback is the noise at speeds above 80, the higher the speed, the louder it hums. Well, and I don't know how critical it is for someone, but the balancing weights reach 90-100 grams. After purchasing, I immediately put them on the car, on the native wheels (R18), accordingly with balancing. The other day, we did a rebalancing (after 7,000 km of mileage) and the difference in weights was within 5-10 grams per wheel.

Stability, grip, aquaplaning, everything is good. As a winter tire, it's very decent for its price!

Purchased for the winter season 2022-2023.

It's too early to review for durability - the mileage is not great, so I put 4.

The rest is just like a gift! I used to drive on Goodyear Ultra Grip Ice Arctic SUV - I was satisfied. It was time to buy a new one, but the price of this tire is 2.5 times more expensive than Windforce Icepower. So, the choice was obvious.))) In the end, I'm thrilled with the purchase!!! So far, the results meet expectations: no noise from the studs (no need to stick the "Ш" sticker) in frost, the effect of "square wheels" is almost absent (at -40, it shakes a bit for the first kilometer, and then it's like summer), the four-wheel drive allows driving on "slick" without problems. When braking, the grip with the road is good, even on frozen asphalt. However, one should not expect excessive miracles: if the road is covered with fresh snow, it's better to keep a distance and slow down on turns (not like in summer, but a little earlier) otherwise it will skid. On ice, of course, it's not like on asphalt, but it's not much inferior to studded tires, it all depends on the ambient temperature. In general, I recommend it for 4WD - the combination of price and quality is top-notch!!!

P.S. I inflate the pressure 0.2 points more than the car's manual, because it's winter, and the directional stability is better.
