Tyre reviews Marshal WS31 Wintercraft SUV Ice 41

Hello. A couple of years ago I had a Ford Kuga and I had been choosing winter tires for a long time, and in the end, I decided to try Marshal wi31, and I was satisfied with the result. This year I bought a Kia Sportage, and without hesitation I decided to buy the same tires for it, but in the Moscow tire store of this model, there was no such tire, but there was ws31, essentially the same model, but with some minor improvements

Good tires, quiet, lightweight, good quality (no studs come out), note that you need to take Korean (not Chinese), sensitive to road curvature (but not critical, need to "hold the steering wheel tight") the price matches the quality, that's a fact! I drive with pleasure!

I bought through an online store, received the tires, visually everything looks good, but even after balancing, the tires are terrible, there's vibration, and beating. I sent them for a quality check, they promised to pay for it at the company's expense, but in the end, I had to pay for one side of the expertise myself. I remain dissatisfied, the impression is that the equipment for the expertise was specially made for me, no passports or certificates were provided, I think I was misled and incurred unreasonable expenses with the expertise.

Excellent tire. Very quiet.
Studs are not heard at all, quieter than summer tires!
In terms of characteristics, it's average between friction and studded tires.
On ice, it brakes without ABS, doesn't get stuck in snow, and confidently holds the road on the highway.
Of course, one should not forget that it's winter.
I had Hankook studded tires before (8 years old, still like new!), but this one is much better in terms of characteristics.

There are no complaints about the rubber. For its money, it's more than enough. I operated it in the city and on the highway (checked the maximum declared speed, everything is fine).

Compared to the previous Bridgestone tires on the same car, the Marshal is much more confident. Although, maybe it's due to the age and wear of the Bridgestone, or the fact that they were non-studded. But in any case, after a season on the Marshal, I didn't regret the purchase at all. There was city driving, highway, mountain serpentines at -25 degrees, as well as snowy-ice mixture. The autobahn with wet snow was also fine. Morning in Sheregesh after a blizzard and with a 30 cm layer of snow - no problems. During the entire time, there was only one skid in a turn, but even the best tire wouldn't have handled it.

Excellent tires, drove a lot, serpentines are handled perfectly, and on the highway too, it's great at high speeds, held 160-180 km, everything is super, I recommend.

Soft and stable tire. Holds the road perfectly. In icy conditions I don't know what skidding or not leaving the driveway is, I've been riding on Korean tires for over 15 years. The same Kumho, just at a more attractive price. I recommend!

They are not noisy, soft enough. They handle well on slush. Have not been used in frost, on deep snow and at high speeds yet.

I bought my first set 5 years ago, drove 70,000 km on them, though they were made in Korea. This year, 2023, I bought the same ones, but made in China, and have driven 5,000 km on them so far. I haven't noticed any difference yet. The tires are very comfortable and resistant to impacts.
