Tyre reviews Doublestar DW02 740

Good day! My car is a Santa Fe 2021 (front-wheel drive).
If I were to ask myself if I would buy these tires again, I would say yes, if "finances allow" (but this also means being cautious and attentive all the time), and if you have enough money, it's better to buy something more reliable (I recommend not to save money).
Further, I will say that these tires deserve attention, especially for those with four-wheel drive. This includes comfort and smoothness of the ride (like driving on soft cushions/no humming, like from spikes) will be provided.
As for safety:
- wet/slushy snow is handled excellently;
- "dry" snow is also excellent (but both cases are relative);
- ice, especially bumpy/frozen (multiple ruts), be extremely cautious, it skids/pulls, has a long braking distance, and may skid when turning if you exceed the speed limit even slightly.
In short, on ice, be extremely careful, it holds satisfactorily, but you need to drive carefully and at a moderate pace, anticipating the braking distance.
On a steep icy uphill climb/freshly rolled, snowy, if no reagents or sand have been sprinkled yet (and again, I remind you that I have front-wheel drive, and I think four-wheel drive would handle it without problems), I tried to drive without stopping, with a small run-up, if further, as in my case, when exiting a secondary road onto a main road - turning right or left. A couple of times I couldn't move uphill (but after braking, the tires still gripped the road, and I stood still), there were no cars behind me at the moment (I anticipated this in advance), if there were cars behind me, the situation would have been not very good.
For information:
I compare these tires to the previously used "Dunlop" tires with integrated thin glass fibers, like a velvety carpet across the entire width of the tire, and they were simply flawless (2 seasons).

Definitely for these prices it's just super quality, the only minus is a bit noisy, but for such price I wouldn't even take this into consideration. Worth it...

Predictable behavior on the road! Fire on dry asphalt, same result on wet one!
Snow - no questions asked, still soft at -25°C as at 0°C!
Normal behavior on ice, provided the driver is up to the task!
Noisey, but for that price you can forgive it!

Prior to this, I was using a Michelin Alpin purchased here in 2013 and it served me for six seasons, eventually worn down to a summer tire.

Due to financial constraints, I decided to take a look at "Chinese" tires, read reviews and opinions, and the choice fell on this model, all the more so as there was a summer discount, and the whole set with transport company delivery came out like a single Michelin tire.

This winter

This tire is softer than the summer one, quieter, and as for durability it's still too early to tell. I've always driven on studded tires and bought this one to try it out because its price is accessible and its characteristics are suitable for the car, after a month of driving I've had only positive emotions. Acceleration on asphalt, snow, and ice is better than on studded tires, and the braking distance is undoubtedly shorter. It drives smoothly and stably, does not leave

I was won over by the price and positive reviews. This tire has met my expectations, it behaves predictably, holds the road well, is durable, soft and quiet.

I don't know on what studs people talk about that the lug on this tire and any other lug is better than studs. There are ice zero2 studs available and the difference isn't in favor of the lug. On black ice, it brakes worse and it drags its ass in corners. On a snowy road and a frozen asphalt, everything is normal. I bought this tire for the transitional season. It suits quite well. Not too loud, softer than studs. I won't say anything about

I am surprisingly satisfied with this tire. Dry handling is excellent as the car sticks to the road with no wheel slip even at high speed. On ice, it's very grippy. Light noise at speeds above 80 km/h, otherwise quite quiet. I'm pleased with this purchase.

They performed well! There's no particular noise from them, they pull well and hold the road! The only downside is that on icy snow it's impossible to climb a hill, it wheelspins?

Ideally balanced, little load. After studded tires, there is no noise at all. Soft. Not bad at holding the road. But if you need to drive onto an icy obstacle, for example, a parking lot in our courtyards, everything is not so rosy. The price of 6300 for R19 is just fantastic. Solid four - I recommend!)
