Tyre reviews Arivo Winmaster ProX ARW3 295

Somehow, my subconscious nudged me to try these tires. The tread pattern appealed to me, and so did the description. Plus, my extremely positive experience with the summer Davanti added its two cents to my decision-making. In the end, I took a chance and bought them. In terms of manufacturing quality, I have no complaints. She writes like a Continental, and no one would question it. During balancing, the weights were between 15 and 70 grams. I put them on

For my not-so-long experience (11 years) of being a "buffer" between the wheel and the car seat, I decided to leave a review of this product from a Chinese brand. Since I have a car from China, I decided to buy tires from the same country for winter, non-studded. Winter came with a set of Cooper 18 125/55 studded tires as a gift from the store, but after more than a month without snow, the studs flew out on bare asphalt. Closer to winter, I swapped the front tires to the back…

Then, a new winter came, and I decided to buy Arivo before the snow fell. I changed them in November and immediately liked the softness, and the noise was much less compared to the summer tires. Even the pressure sensors started showing the same result, which was a problem for a whole year.

The first snow came, and on one of the sharp turns, the car skidded badly, and I almost collided with an oncoming car (I'm to blame, as I apparently braked too sharply). Now, almost three months have passed, and we've had frost, snow, and water. I'll say that the tires are excellent for their price. Moreover, I had no experience with non-studded tires before. The result is excellent.

The car starts well on snowy and icy roads if you don't press the pedal too hard, it behaves well in turns, I didn't notice any aquaplaning, I tried accelerating to 130, and it holds perfectly, and I don't need more. I still want to live!

It also plows through snowdrifts well if you don't get too carried away…

In short, I'm satisfied with the product!

China rules!!!

The quiet soft rubber I really liked. I doubted whether to take it or not, but after reading all the reviews from China, I want to say that I'm pleasantly surprised!!!! At the Shino mounting, the master was very surprised by the quality and how well they were balanced. Loads from 10 to 40 are an excellent indicator. Thank you very much for your reviews, they influenced my decision to make a purchase!!!!!!

The tires are decent, I had Matador winter tires before, they were soft, but the front pair wore out by 40-50% in just one winter, which surprised me. These tires are not hard either, although I installed R18 235/55 107XL instead of R15C 225/70. I don't carry loads over 1 ton, they hold the weight perfectly. The handling is predictable, I brake well on ice. I can't say anything about the speed characteristics, since I don't drive over 120, but the balancing was done with a minimal load. We'll check the durability after the season. I recommend buying them, the price and quality are mostly corresponding.

I'll help with the selection for future buyers.
The first day on this tire was December 28th, and we had spring in Kaliningrad with a temperature of +5°C (I chose it considering it's for European winters).
It performed well.
On the second day, I drove on the highway at 130-150 km/h, and it felt confident. But suddenly, at this speed, I hit aquaplaning on a turn. After a few seconds of free drifting to the side, I already imagined how I would have to send the car for spare parts in the best-case scenario. But I'll say, the main thing is that the car maintained its trajectory, didn't spin, and there was no hint of it. The electronics worked, and as soon as I started pressing the brake, the car came out of the uncontrollable drift after a few more seconds. I'm sure that even if I had any other tire that costs more than 20,000 for a set, it wouldn't have performed better!
For the next 5 days, the temperature remained above +5°C, and I drove on the highway at 200-210 km/h (since the speed limit on it is 240).
I also drove through puddles while going straight (not a word about losing control) at a speed of 150 km/h.
At some point, I was overtaken by an X5 on the highway, and he started catching up to me at a speed of 200 km/h, so I sped up to 220 km/h. That's when fear started, as I didn't feel the car during light turns (as if it was biting into the asphalt like in summer) and it was throwing me into a light skid. At 200 km/h, it was fine. I don't recommend going faster; maybe the problem was with the wind, I don't know… In the summer (with Chinese Triangle tires), I drove at 250 km/h, and it felt like I was glued to the road.
The story doesn't end there. Winter suddenly arrived, and my friend and I had to drive 2 hours on the highway)))
At the time of our departure, the highway was all covered in snow, and the traffic was moving at 80-90 km/h strictly in the right lane. I was running late, but I was afraid to risk it (since it's a Chinese tire, not a European one).
Suddenly, a bus decided to overtake and made a track, and I followed it, and we were already driving at 100 km/h on the cleared path behind it.
Then the bus left, and I decided to stay in my lane and drive faster, at 110-120 km/h, confidently on the clean, wet snow, occasionally probing the road and assessing the car's behavior during sharp braking.
After driving for an hour on such a road, without feeling tired or scared, a part of the road appeared where it had already been cleaned and salted. I drove at 180 km/h, confidently catching up on time.
Further on, the road narrowed, and we found ourselves on a two-way road. The road was clean, and I probed it - everything was fine, I didn't think about slowing down.
I drove at 180 km/h, occasionally overtaking calmly driving cars.
The tire held the road, and you could feel everything - you could drive.
After the second hour, we turned onto a narrow German road, asphalted (with cobblestone on the asphalt))).
There was no snow here yet, and I drove at 100-110 km/h confidently, of course, occasionally probing the road, and otherwise, I wouldn't do it, as the road condition can change before you can react. I'm talking about black ice, which is normal for us.
We arrived on time.
The drive back was all in snow, and the German roads were all icy. I drove at 60 km/h, and on turns, I slowed down to 40-50 km/h. I'll say that on black ice, the tire behaves predictably if you probe the road. Sometimes I got out of the car and touched the road out of interest.
The braking distance was within reasonable limits, as expected on black ice, but much shorter than on the winter tires that are on my Solaris (Korean).
In short - for those who want detailed information, they can read this.
For those who want a brief summary - I recommend these tires, they perform well, the quality is super, up to 200 km/h at +5 to -2°C (what I was able to test) they perform perfectly!
And if we consider the price-to-quality ratio - it's the best choice.
Regarding noise - the sound is minimal, the original summer Ran Flat tires were very loud, and it was hard to drive with them.

Price quality is 100 percent, perfect on snow, a bit worse on ice, but overall super for the money. Previously, I drove on Michelin studded tires. If comparing Michelin and Winmaster, then Winmaster is at least not worse, and maybe even better

The tires look good externally. They look very convincing )
I've driven 30,000 kilometers on these tires. The wear is about 20%. I can say that the tire is good and fully satisfies me.
For this price, the tire justifies itself completely. My principle is: I drive on tires for 2-3 seasons and then replace them. I've driven on Dunlop and Michelin, these tires are of a higher class, better handling, less prone to veering, but the price for them is also corresponding.
I would like to note the softness of Arivo tires, it's comfortable, potholes are absorbed softly, which is why they are prone to veering, but not critically.
China surprises for this price! I'll buy more.

Another Chinese copy, similar to Pirelli, and it seems to me that it is not much inferior to it, only the price is significantly cheaper.

I bought the tires in 2021, and now it's already the third season on Arivo Winmaster ProX ARW3 235/55 R18 104H XL. I have a Citroen Jumper van, I installed 18-inch wheels and bought these tires. Everyone said they wouldn't withstand a load of over a ton, but they were wrong. The XL mark is not there for nothing. I can freely drive with 1000-1200 kg, and the handling compared to the Matador that was on before, is like heaven and earth. In the snow, the directional tread behaves perfectly, the directional stability is good, I have ESP, and it almost never kicks in. On asphalt, dry and wet, like in summer, of course, don't overdo it, but it holds the road well and the noise level is lower than that of tires with a non-directional tread pattern. After 27,000 km of mileage, the wear is about 25-30%, no more, considering that it's not just driving, but also carrying loads. The mileage is 60% city and 40% highway. It balances well, with a minimum of weights. I've been driving on Chinese tires for 11 years, both summer and winter. They are worthy in terms of both price and quality. I don't see the point in paying more for a brand.

Hello everyone, I'll try to be as brief and objective as possible!
First and foremost, I chose the tires based on a more acceptable price. After a long and tedious search through various options, I stumbled upon these tires - priced at 6980 rubles per tire, but there were almost no reviews about them, even on the internet. I found the previous model and it had very good reviews. Thinking that the new model shouldn't be worse than the old one, I decided to take a risk and buy them because the tread is very similar to Pirelli Winter Cinturato 2, which costs 20,000 rubles per tire and, from experience, is very good.
In short, guys, I didn't regret it even once!
The first meters I drove, I was in pleasant shock, I wasn't driving, I was gliding! Then I quickly got used to the tires and didn't experience such a thrill again.
On snow and ice, the tires work wonderfully.
It doesn't make noise at a speed of 160! I haven't driven faster than that.
On a dry road at +8/+10 degrees, you'll feel a slight float, which doesn't even bother you.
It also handles ruts excellently.
I recommend it to everyone who doesn't know what to choose and is considering Chinese options.
