Tyre reviews Fortune Polaro Ice. Page 1 89

Fortune Polaro Ice 235*60/18 - I'm delighted. Initially, they made noise, but after 500 kilometers, the noise stopped.

For the past 15 years, I've been driving on winter tires of Japanese, American, and again Japanese brands. Compared to them, Chinese tires are quieter, softer, better at traction, and better handling on any road, and fuel consumption is similar to summer tires. And all for such a price.

I didn't write a review until I drove in all conditions: dry road, wet, snow, and ice. Rating 5+.

I wouldn't say it's on fire. But it's balanced pretty well. The tires are soft. The studs are noisy. Right now, during the run-in period, they make a lot of noise. This is unexpectedly disappointing. Near-zero temperatures, the car doesn't handle sharp turns well. It handles wet asphalt well.

Excellent tires, especially at this price. The tread pattern is like that of the 4th Michelin, the studs are the same, the studs do not come off, they grip well, the noise is moderate. The rim protector is present (the disc is recessed into the tire). I'm very pleased with the tires. I recommend them.

I didn't expect such quality from the Chinese. It can be said that it's well-balanced. It behaves quite confidently on ice and with a little snow, and even more so on asphalt. Not very good in snowdrifts, though. Since I drive most of the way on the highway, the tires have shown themselves to be positive. The road is held well during maneuvers, lane changes, and rut passage. I accelerated up to 130, and there's almost no noise, probably because I have vibration noise insulation done, unlike others. Previously, I drove on Hakkapeliitta 9, and it's much noisier. The studs are still okay. Many people write that it's bad rubber, maybe they'll just get lucky next time.

I installed these tires after Bridgestone Ice Cruiser 7000, I was worried that there are different opinions about Chinese manufacturers among users of their products. Nevertheless, I bought Chinese ones because the cost outweighed everything else. And! I was not once disappointed with this choice. The car drives better on ice and snow. Noise level is within what I had before. In general, without any doubts, I will continue to drive on Chinese tires and advise others to do the same.

The tires are good, worth buying for this price. The first 500km were noisy, but now they've worn in and become much quieter. They handle the road well.

Arrived on time. Tires were put on the disks without any issues. Drives normally on asphalt. Waiting for winter.

Advantages: Price. Size 225/60R18. I bought it in August 2025 for 6900?. Visually, the tires are made excellent. Production date 20th week of 2025. Classic winter tread pattern with a monolithic central part for directional stability and bidirectional lamellas in the tread blocks. Enough spikes.

Disadvantages: A small number of lamellas in the outer tread blocks. 2 or 3 lamellas per block, the lamellas themselves are wavy. In tires of recognized brands, there are usually 3 or 4 zigzag lamellas. It should be noted that in this price segment, all Chinese tires have 2 or 3 lamellas per block.

I bought these tires for my Sportage, and I'd say they're not bad in terms of price-to-quality ratio.
At first, they were quite noisy, but after about 2,000 km, they became normal, maybe they just wore in or I got used to them, but they're definitely quieter than the Kumho tires on my second car (Tiana J32).
Previously, I had Bridgestone Ice Cruiser 7000 (constantly skidded, but they were soft and comfortable, so I sold them with minimal mileage) and Continental 4x4 Ice Contact (absolutely terrible, skidded as well and got hard quickly, made in Germany!.
I drove them for 4 years and sold them, crossing myself).
The Chinese tires balanced out perfectly, they're soft and handle well, I can drive places I used to be afraid to go with the Continentals, so that's a plus.
I've driven a bit over 2,000 km so far, and there's no tread wear or loss of studs.
The tires don't hum, the noise is moderate, as I mentioned above, quieter than some others.

Haven't driven yet, winter is coming, we'll try. Everything is even on balancing, doesn't vibrate. Little load was hung.
