Tyre reviews Hankook W605 Winter i cept. Page 1 97

The tires (175/70R13) were installed on a VAZ-2114 (2009, dual 1.6, front-wheel drive, naturally). The reason for choosing non-studded tires on the car was simple: all the previous studded tires on the lightweight front-wheel drive car simply did not justify themselves. Used: Cordiant Sno Max (1st winter season); Nordman+ (2nd winter season). The first tire was purchased on the basis of results of road

Vehicle - Sandero Stepway (had to look it up as it wasn't in the list). Size - 195/65-R15. Just finished running in the car, tyres too.
Am very satisfied with tyres (experienced comparison - Dunlop SP Winter Ice 01 (studded), on SX4, FWD).
Despite pretty snowy days (Moscow, January-February 2013), only stalled if, foolishly, I drove onto a snowbank

Installed Hais Regius on my Toyota Hiace, size 215/70/15, and I'm very satisfied. They grip the road very well. I was particularly impressed by the quietness and softness of these tires. They were way quieter than the Yokohama ones I had before (no studs), which were noisy. I replaced them for every season (March, November), as they are very soft and prone to wear, as well as slight drift on warm asphalt. For winter

They were initially installed on the purchased car, bought in replacement of "worn-out" ones, two at a time, great on snow - excellent, not all passengers understand that this is not studded tires. One problem - they have become rare...

The tires met my expectations, I replaced the Nokian Hakka 7 which had become hard, Hankook brakes well and due to the tread pattern it comes out of the snow well, although it doesn't look aesthetically pleasing, it handles calmly as long as you don't push it to the limit. I'm very satisfied.

Very pleased, previously drove on Hakkas-7, very comfortable on these. Behave perfectly in deep slush and brake excellently on ice, took them at reasonable prices too.

They brake perfectly, but with sense. The Hakka 7 was quiet before, the new one is new. They also handle turns excellently. You should buy them out of season, otherwise they're expensive, we use them on one car and on the second one the same Toyo GSi5, they're equally good. The W605 is coarser and therefore grips better.

On snow - confidently holds the road. On dry road - leaves much to be desired during hard braking. On ice - slides. Wear resistance - excellent.

Good quality tyre. Using for the second time. First time I used it from 2012 to 2015 (4 seasons) only in winter. On one of the 4 tyres a "cord metal" crack appeared. Bought a set in December 2015. So far, no complaints about the tyres. However, be careful on ice, ice is still ice. Good luck on the roads.

Here is the translation:

I've already taken them off for the third winter. The impressions are all positive. Extremely grippy on any road, comfortable and safe to drive. Holds well on rough roads at high speeds when hitting deep potholes. Doesn't become brittle in the cold, unlike many of its high-profile peers. Slightly floats on dry asphalt at top speeds (due to its softness), but everything else depends on the tread. I've been behind the wheel for 35 years
