Tyre reviews Imperial Snowdragon UHP 26

Overall, are the tires good for their price? The tread is soft, on ice it's like wearing skates, but that's understandable without studs. Without side protection, when I hit a pothole at high speed, a bulge came out, and a sharp pothole can easily tear the sidewall. In 2 years of use, I've replaced two such tires. At speeds above 130, a whistling sound appears from under the wheels, I think it's because of the tires. They don't like the rut and start trying to find a flat surface. Steering stability... some is present, but at high speed, it's completely unclear where it goes. Would I buy such tires again? Yes, the main thing is to drive carefully over potholes, or there's a high probability of damaging the tire, because it has no side protection. On snowy roads with a track, it holds well, but if the track is narrow, it starts to throw the car around due to the wide base of the tire trying to find a flat surface.

For its price, it's okay. I've driven them for two seasons, and they're basically worn out. They don't handle packed snow very well, and they're not great on ice either. However, they're decent on wet and fresh snow. They're not too noisy. They're not the most fuel-efficient, but they're not the most fuel-hungry either. On a wet road, you need to be careful, as there's a moment when it feels like you're losing traction. They're okay on dry roads, though. But I've noticed that when the temperature drops from +3 to -3, they start to feel like they're worn out and don't grip the road. Maybe they're too soft? But that's just my opinion. I've scraped the curb a couple of times, but the tires withstood it. I have over 25 years of driving experience and have tried various tires, from premium to budget ones like these. And yes, this is an all-season tire, so you shouldn't expect miracles from it.

295/35/R21 is excellent tire for its price, such a size from European brands would cost $30-40 per piece, which is quite justified

Ok, on snow.

Drives well off-road, but on the highway it doesn't hold the road well, above 90 km/h the car tends to wander and the steering wheel has to be constantly held tightly to keep it on course

Decided to try it, was pleasantly surprised. I'm satisfied.

They perform well in any conditions. At the same time, even at -30, they hold the road quite tenaciously.
