Tyre reviews Arivo Winmaster ARW2 202

Excellent tires for little money. On the way to Anapa and back, we encountered everything: dry road, snow, rain, ice, snow slush, and temperatures from -15 to +15. I drove the 3130 km road back and forth without stopping (except for refueling) at an average speed of 88 km/h. I have no complaints about the tires! Good luck to everyone on the roads!

And so, this is my second review of these tires! Now I've fully tested them, looked at them, and want to share with you!

On dry or wet roads, they performed excellently! On ice or snow, they were worse, but predictably, so that's a four! On black ice and in freezing rain, I drove normally at +/- 100 km/h... BUT at ~130, the car was already being pulled to "sway"... In icy courtyards, I didn't particularly enjoy driving, it felt like driving on Belshina...

At speeds of ~200+, in dry weather, the tire starts to lead and zigzag on the road (although possibly the wind helps), at 160-190, I didn't notice such problems.

The tire was initially quiet, but now that I've driven on it, I'd say it's noisy, but not ear-piercingly so (if you're driving with music, you won't even notice)!

The quality of the tire itself is good, but don't expect Chinese tires to be perfect...

I've hit potholes, but not at lethal speeds of up to 100 km/h, and so far, there are no bulges or tears...

As for braking, it depends on the weather... At negative temperatures, it's good (until the tire overheats), but at positive temperatures, it's significantly worse (as the temperature rises above +6/8 degrees, the tire starts to float)...

I didn't notice any aquaplaning, but it's better not to "swim" in puddles at speed!

The verdict: for the money, it's a good tire, so I can recommend it to people who aren't in a hurry or know how to drive on such tires. It's not suitable for reckless drivers or "mama's boys", you'll get yourself killed...

Normal tires. There were remains of rubber after molding, well, China, what can you expect... After re-tireing, I drove around the city, on the highway (holds well up to 160 km/h) and small bumps are overcome softly (relatively to the bald Bridgestone). The downsides are VERY soft sides (probably need to pump up to 3, because at 2.5 the side is very close to the asphalt, I feel that there will be bulges) and the price reduction by 100 rubles after I received the tires!

A good option for snowless winters.

P.S. What is rated with 1 star, I just haven't checked yet, and the review doesn't allow me to send it, after I conduct the tests, I'll fix it or write a new one! )

The tire is soft, not noisy, and handles the road well in the rain. I haven't driven on ice, so I can't comment on its wear resistance yet

The tires are liked. They behave well on the road, not perfectly, but well. Not noisy. They handle snow perfectly, no need to engage reduced gear and locking differentials. But it's also a full-time 50x50 all-wheel drive.

I'm satisfied. There's one exception, they hold bumps very poorly. On the highway, I hit a small, relatively 10 cm, pothole. The disk is intact - that's a plus, the tire - in the trash. Potholes slightly smaller than that pass perfectly. When braking, there is some wear, but in principle, it stops at the right moment anyway. But naturally, the electronics in the car gives a bit more confidence in them

I'm very pleased with the tires. They handle the road perfectly, whether it's snow, ice, wet roads from reagents, or snowdrifts - I drive through them calmly. I installed them on my BMW e60, the stabilization system only turns on when driving through snowdrifts and rarely on turns, the car doesn't pull to one side. For this price (I bought them for 5400) I would definitely recommend them. My size is r18 245/40. The only downside, in my opinion, is the curved sidewalls - I'm afraid that with even the slightest violation of the camber/caster angle, these sidewalls will wear out in just a couple of thousand kilometers. Otherwise, I'm completely satisfied.

Nice rubber, quiet. Very soft, which is important for the sticky. Thanks to the wide grooves, it's comfortable to drive through snowy slush.

My first non-studded winter tires, I'm very pleased, quiet, holds the road well. Braking on ice is predictable, may have a slightly longer stopping distance than studded tires, but on snow, I didn't notice any difference from studded tires. With a heavy trailer on snow and hills, it moves very confidently. Drift is very controlled, when accelerating sharply in snowy slush, it wobbles a bit, but the stabilization system doesn't kick in, it's a gentle, controlled slide and wheelspin, I like it. I'm curious to see how it will behave in deep snow in terms of passability, no opportunity to test, not enough snow. I got the 265/70 R17 size, which is slightly different from the standard 285/65, I only noticed the difference on the highway at speeds over 140 km/h, need to make some adjustments, but that's a peculiarity of the 200 series. For the money, it's just great, I'll never buy studded tires again) I'm interested to see what the wear will be like, I'll add an update after the season

Good enough for the money. I've driven 2000 km and remained satisfied. It handles confidently in minus temperatures, just like in the rain. I haven't encountered snow yet, but I hope it won't disappoint.

Quite decent tires. They performed well on the highway.
Not noisy.
I recommend
