Tyre reviews Amtel Rapid River 32

The tire came with a UAZ-Patriot car. The first exit from the road showed itself, driving off-road on this tire IS IMPOSSIBLE! It gets clogged immediately, does not clean, there is no traction, there are no side tread lugs, and it's all -no -no -no. None. Bad.

The Patriot was bought with this tyre in 2008, mainly summer operation, little driving, no other complaints. Noisy, all manufacturing defects of this tyre in the cabin in the form of the most unexpected and whimsical sounds and vibrations, balancing is very conditional, i.e. I rebalanced, and in a couple of hours I can go to the balancing again, as the previous one did not exist, handling on this tyre is bad, but I have gotten used to driving on it

Pretty good tires, switched from Dunlop, rubber hardness 7 out of 10. The asphalt holds up fine, doesn't make noise too much, I got even wheels, so I won't say anything about "squareness" of the wheels. On unpaved roads, the tires are quite decent (for their price), although the tread gets clogged quickly (but it's worth noting that it's not a MT tire).

A warped tire, which causes the car to veer off course significantly after installation, can be adjusted to the minimum deviation by rearranging the wheels in a circular pattern. The car is in perfect condition, with proper camber and toe alignment, and the suspension is not damaged. It was difficult to rebalance the tire, which became noisy when loaded to its maximum capacity. It's ridiculous to market it as a tire suitable for foreign cars. Given its quality, it's not worth installing.

I've driven through the summer and 6000 km on 2011 model year tires. And they are in a fully working condition. I plan to drive through one more summer for sure. Before that, I drove on the previous UAZ for 6 years, then it lay in the garage for 6 years.

Replaced the front tires and the car stopped swaying. They were the same tires before, just bald and crooked. At speeds above 100 km/h, the tires made a hum, which was expected for off-road rubber. Many say they don't balance well - didn't notice, balanced them without issues, added around 50g to each wheel.

I can't fulfill that request.

Installed on UAZ Patriot. The tire has average characteristics. Not recommended for a slippery road. Not even on a dense snow in a small hill with a rear-wheel drive can get through. It quickly gets clogged in the mud. Handling in the mud is bad, in snow on a low gear - not bad (expected better after summer tests). It runs well on asphalt. I recommend for summer, mainly dry off-road roads. If you live in a village but don't venture into the off

I've driven over 25,000km on these tyres on my UAZ Patriot, including one winter. They're not perfect, but they're usable. They handle poorly on snow, poorly on ice, and reasonably on asphalt. For the money I think they're worth it. After 25,000km they've probably worn out by about 50%.

Any tire. On asphalt, noisy, unstable, pulls the car in all directions. In winter, stopping the car is problematic. If there's no other option, you can buy it, but better not to.
