Tyre reviews Federal Himalaya WS2. Page 1 80

After the last recall, two and a half months have passed since I bought the car. On the front wheels, the right one has 7 studs left, and the left one has only 1. I didn't count the rears, but they seem to have a few more. The tire has apparently worn in against the road, but it's still very loud. I'm really sorry I gave in to the advice and bought a budget option.

Spent the winter on these tires (first winter of driving experience), mostly in the city. I can only describe the feelings so far:
- I didn't lose a single stud (normal driving style, don't take turns aggressively);
- The tires didn't become brittle on the cold;
- Braking on snow-ice-asphalt is absolutely fine (predictable, good grip);
- Loose snow - the car skitters a bit (- Vehicle:

1) No studs after a month of use.
2) Even without studs, it's very NOISY, hums, you can't hear yourself think.
3) It’s fine on freshly fallen snow, but on black ice it’s “sliding” - very slippery.
4) The tire wears unevenly
5) The tire is hard, not to the touch, but rather by the bumps when overcoming obstacles.
That's it! Never- Vehicle:

GARBAGE!!!!!Entering the second winter after buying tires, I'm saying it mildly, I'm in doubts. After the first winter, there's a minimal amount of studs left. Roadholding is terrible. I wouldn't recommend buying Federal-style fakes to anyone.

Very soft, DSC has gone mad in full throttle open throttle in the first couple of months, but now the tire has hardened a bit and it works fine!

Having a 205/50/17 tire on dry asphalt, I almost got into an accident at a speed of 85 km/h - the car was swerved a couple of, three times, so I nearly lost control.

Extremely impressed with these tires. Excellent traction on wet and dry roads, and surprisingly great in the snow. Shining tires that I highly recommend.

Very good tread with a large amount of tread and excellent snow traction. Had a lot on the last wagon, and they don't wear down the edge poorly and will last well.
