Tyre reviews Landspider Arctictraxx. Page 2 196

Noise: At speeds of 70 km/h and above on clean asphalt, it starts to make noise, well, not too much, but there is a hum, with cheaper tires it can't be compared, so it's possible to drive.

Road grip: When starting from a standstill, if there is black ice, the studs grip the ice well and the car starts moving without wheelspin (if you don't press the gas pedal too hard) and it also handles well on snow. On the road, stability is good, no skidding was observed. When braking, the studs and tire also work well, so far, in a couple of days of driving, the ABS hasn't kicked in even once. Well, these are my first impressions while I'm still running in the tires!

Excellent winter tires for off-road and professional use. Balanced with minimal loads, does not beat on speed, is even, holds straightness, does not wander on the road. The spikes are larger than those on Kumho, Marshal, slightly softer. When used on bare asphalt for three months, not a single spike came off, did not wear off. On ice and snow cover, it also performed well, does not hurry to skid, brakes confidently. The all-wheel drive on the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport started to engage less often, only on obvious ice. Not noisy. Fuel consumption decreased. For the money, there's nothing better. Would only take this one in the future.

I'm buying these tires for the second time, the first ones were on a Schneewe, I really liked them, so I got them for my Honda too.
They handle ice very well, and they also perform well on snow. Wet mud and water - they hold steady, but maybe I'm just not speeding, after all, having a head on your shoulders is the most important thing when driving))
Cons:
- during the break-in period, they are extremely noisy, I didn't notice this on the Schneewe because of its natural noise), but here it's just crazy. After the break-in period - everything is fine.
- fuel consumption has slightly increased, but it's hard to say by how much, considering it's winter and I have the auto-start feature on.
Overall, I'm happy with the tires, I recommend them

The Chinese goodness - an exact copy of Hakkai 9
Noisy asphalt on voice
Let's see how long it lasts

In operation, they liked it, they hold the road very well - dry asphalt, wet, slush, snow - all is fine. The spikes are small but there are enough of them. When turning on snow with the handbrake on, it enters reluctantly, but when the handbrake is released, the skid disappears instantly. There is no lateral skid when turning, it holds the road perfectly. The hum from the spikes is naturally present, especially in the first 200 km, until it runs in, then it becomes quieter. The large tread pattern also adds to the noise, but! it digs into the snow, brakes on packed snow, and the ABS engages less often than with my previous tires.

Compared to the highly praised Hankook RS4 429, these are better by far. On the Hankook, it was annoying that when starting from a standstill, they constantly wheel-spun - on dry asphalt, wet, frozen... Constantly! Up to third gear, and I have a "gun-racing" style - Grant...

Overall impression is positive, soft rubber, wheels are well balanced, manufactured 14/25. How they will perform on the road I will see only in winter, will add to the review.

Received the tires, a deep, high-quality tread is visible, with a sufficient number of spikes, the spruce tree pattern ensures good water drainage and snow ejection. During wheel balancing at the tire shop, the masters determined that the tire is evenly balanced and does not require many weights. We'll wait for the frost and test them in severe frost. The first impressions are positive!

Good tires. Holds the road normally.
For the entire 2024-2025 season, not a single stud was lost. Excellent rubber.

What to say. The tires are not bad, but if you drive like a pensioner. At speeds above 110 km/h, stability is lost, the car starts to sway slightly. Not to say that it's somehow catastrophic, but noticeable.
As for noise - as usual on winter tires.
In other respects - not bad. I got stuck once over the winter, and that was due to my own foolishness.

Tires seem to be a hybrid, studded adhesive, soft and elastic. The composition includes silica. Production date 2023, apparently that's why there was a good discount.
