Tyre reviews Cordiant Snow Cross. Page 250 13520

Tread pattern

I bought these tires considering the price-quality ratio, as they say, I fell for the advertising. I've driven them for three seasons. Let's start with the positives. The tires grip well on frosty snow and ice. The studs hold up well. After three seasons, almost all of them are still in place. Well, perhaps that's where the positives end. Now for the sad part. These wonderful tires are horribly balanced. Maybe I got a defective batch, but tire fitters swear every winter, tinkering with these wheels. And even after this magic, driving on them at over 100 km/h is like sitting in a massage chair. Everything that can vibrate does. Next, about braking. It's non-existent. It's easier to stop the car with your feet. Even driving in a courtyard with packed snow requires extreme caution. The same problems occur in snowy mush. At 40 km/h, it can skid off in any direction. I've had a couple of instances where the brake pads compressed to the size of a pea. Driving straight is possible, the directional stability is decent, as long as you don't forget to fasten your seatbelt when turning.

The conclusion is: these tires are suitable for calm city driving in a frosty and snowy climate. If you live in the middle lane, where the temperature fluctuates from -5 to +1, steer clear of these wonderful wheels. I'll give 3 points for the sturdy studs.

Good tires at a reasonable price

The tire is mediocre, it's better to look at Korean options in this budget. It makes a lot of noise.

Cordiant Snow Cross 215/60 R16 95T (studded) met my expectations. I recommend.

The tires are fine, for their price, an excellent option.

People, I'm begging you all, don't buy these tires. I bought the tires in December '22, before '23, and this winter it's already impossible to drive on them! They vibrate half a centimeter on the rims. The rims are perfectly even! Mounted on Crown alloy wheels. At a speed of 90 km/h, it feels like you're riding on a washing machine trying to spin clothes at 1200 rpm. The money was simply thrown away! The tread is completely intact, all the studs are in place, not a single one has come off. But the curvature is simply unreal.

I had one set of tires from the store to the junkyard, drove about 50,000 miles, and then bought a second set.

Why? Because during the entire time of operation, I did not find any significant drawbacks for myself. If the layer between the steering wheel and the seat is adequate, then these tires are enough for all needs. I drove on the highway, in the city, on asphalt, on ice, on snow, on slush, both forward and backward, fast and slow. In the snow, I never got stuck, on dry asphalt, I didn't notice any problems, on ice, no matter what tires you have, you need to be careful, in my case, the movement and braking were always predictable at adequate speed modes. There were no bulges, the balancing was normal, the studs did not traumatize, the wear was even, by the way, the studs held very well, I didn't count the loss, but at the time of disposal, very few had come out, again, it depends on the type of driving, if you press the gas pedal like a madman, you can turn the tires into slicks in one season. After the first set, I thought about taking something imported, but a lot of contradictory reviews, even on premium and high prices, discouraged me from doing so. There is the price of a product, and there is its value, in this case, I consider the value to be much higher, so the best is the enemy of the good, I took a second set for another car and do not regret it.

By the way, I did not buy the second modification of these tires, as according to reviews and tests, they turned out to be even worse than the first generation, but I have nothing to say about this.

You go in and read about any tire and everything is fine and good, what kind of nonsense is this

Plus one, the studs do not come out, but with careful operation, the inner sidewall burst, the tires started to deflate, this is the first time I've seen this. There is no desire to buy tires from this manufacturer anymore. If you don't consider this moment, the tires are quite good. Wear-resistant, moderately noisy.
