Tyre reviews Gripmax Grip Ice X 5

I'm writing my 2nd review, as I've already driven in all weather conditions on the M4 and M9 highways

Krasnodar - Western Dvina - Krasnodar. There was snow, blizzard, ice, and a snowy slush. The trip took place from 21/12/2024 to 08/01/2025. I have no complaints about the tires, in my opinion, they are similar to Bridgestone. They were balanced perfectly during installation. Ford Focus 3, 2014, manual transmission.

I drove on tires from Krasnodar to Zapadnaya Dvina and back from 21/12/2024 to 08/01/2025, the roads were snowy, icy and slushy, the temperature ranged from +7 to -8°. I have no complaints. Maybe they are a bit noisy, or maybe it just seems that way. As for me, these are an exact analog of Bridgestone. I bought a Mazda Capella in Japan, I don't remember which Bridgestone model it was, but the Gripmax tires are just the same on the road.

Car is Ford Focus 3, 2014, manual transmission.

Good tires, I drove mainly in the Krasnodar and Stavropol regions, do not slip on a wet road, and also hold well on ice. There were no incidents during the season. The tires are soft, well-balanced.

Installed on Focus 3, quiet, didn't get into black ice. Balanced perfectly. Previously had GoodYear, no worse.

The appearance is very impressive, they look great on the disks, the sidewall and tread pattern are noticeably beneficial. Unfortunately, I was unable to test their winter capabilities in Krasnodar due to the lack of winter. Therefore, rain is the enemy of these tires. It's very easy to make the front axle slip into a controlled skid, especially on a mixture of dirt or just starting rain. It's as if oil is being poured under the wheels. But they handle puddles perfectly, I drove at 100 km/h on the highway in a downpour and there was no hint of aquaplaning! They handle wonderfully on dry asphalt! The steering wheel floats a bit if you're driving at high speed over a hill or a bridge, but you can get used to it.
