Tyre reviews Amtel NordMaster 142

Drove on them for one season, left over from my dad. He also drove on them for one season, but only on a different car (Nissan Maxima 1998). The traction on snow is good, but on ice it's not great. The tire gets completely rigid in the cold... The most interesting thing is that the tires are almost new, the tread is good, and there are about 70% of the tread left, and on the sides the cord is exposed,

I got the NordMaster with my second car, which was a 1988 model still with the 2108 tyres. I used it on roads with extremely poor conditions (we don't put on full-size tyres in the summer because there are so many potholes). The tyre is really indestructible. It does great both on snow and in slush (I always deflated the tyres a bit to get a larger contact patch and to glide over small bumps and potholes). I

I bought studded. I liked all the tires (although I didn't like Amtel before - the side bulges appeared). I drove on them for the 2014-2015 season: I didn't notice any wear, and none of the studs were lost. I drove almost from the Black Sea to the White Sea. And dry asphalt, and wet snow, and ice, and frost, and even deep snow - I tried it all on this rubber. I'm satisfied. The

Four seasons on the same tire. Chip count reduced by 40% at the front and the rear ones are like brand new. The interior cameras are already installed at the front because some tires have bulged the rim. The rear still lacks a camera. It brakes perfectly, like new. As for the noise, I guess I'm deaf to the car and can't hear how "terrible" they are. I would not recommend it to those with sensitive hearing and a noise level sensor in their

Vehicle mileage - 40,000 km. Of which, on Amtel NordMaster (studs) - 10,000 km. The tire is like new. No studs have fallen off. They grip the snow very well, and if you let the speed drop a bit, it's like a snowmobile. On bare (frozen) asphalt and on ice they slightly wheel-spin when accelerating from a standstill, but they hold the road well in motion. They are especially good at

This tire is nothing. It’s okay enough on packed snow, but that's as far as it goes. On ice and asphalt, it’s slippery to stop and handle. It gets buried in loose snow and refuses to move. And the noise, it's just something... I remember when I was flying in a helicopter. The sound on asphalt is almost the same.

I've been using these tires for three seasons now, and this will be my fourth. I have no complaints. I only put them on in the winter when there's a stable snow cover. During the time I've been using them, the tires have shown themselves to be excellent, they grip the snow like crazy! The sidewalls are intact, no bulges, cracks, all the studs are in place, although our winters can be unpredictable, with thawing and no snow. They really helped

Equivalent to imported tires (in terms of quality)
I've driven on Kumho and Nokian, NordMaster tires are only inferior in terms of noise, but everyone agrees that winter tires are always noisy. For the price - IDEAL!!!! Summer tires from Amtele - VERY BAD (FLOATS on wet roads), but winter ones are SUPER! Proven! BUT I DRIVE WITHOUT STUDS
Pros: perfect on snow and ice, dry asphalt 4 points
Cons:

In corners, you need to apply force to let the car slide. The slide is very smooth and fully controlled. On bare ice, you stop, of course, with ABS, that is, if you hit the pedal to the floor. In terms of price-quality ratio, tire rating is 5. I didn't expect such handling from winter tires - truly like in the summer.

Good enough for the price, normal tires, but not ideal for a heavy load on unpaved roads as radial cracking can occur easily and they can be noisy.
