Tyre reviews Ovation W-586. Page 1 199

Here is the translated text:

It's already the third winter on these tires. 2 winter seasons have passed on the same wheels, without switching them around - circumstances dictated so, but it doesn't matter. 2 seasons is approximately 2 x 7,000 km in the city, which is a maximum of 15,000 km. During these 15,000 km, the two tires have worn down to the 3-1.5 mm limit :)) - I've put

Normal tires for their money, hold well on the road, go well on soft off-road, pulled a Gazelle and a Volvo 90 out of knee-deep snow, didn't slip much, and I didn't have any problems.

Midrange tires. Expected better performance based on experience with the same brand. Overall meets good standards, considering the price, but with one significant minus - poor lateral traction. On a rough snowy road and especially on ice it slides into the groove, in a turn and etc. The same effect in a turn - a bit more gas and can turn or at least the radius grows. Otherwise - a fairly decent tire, both in braking and acceleration. On a wet road at positive temperature - no questions,

I accidentally wrote the same review for the i-388 summer tire, if you're sorry, I guess it got mixed up accidentally:)

It wouldn't be a problem if it weren't for the fact that after approximately 20,000 km of driving, the tire on the front axle wore out to 4.5-5 mm of the residual tread. The road holding has become poor, the traction is bad, and the wheels are slipping when starting on a snowy asphalt road,

I bought them in autumn 2021 due to astronomical prices for non-Chinese tires. A set of 215/55/18 cost 16 thousand, which is half the price of Cordiant, what complaints can there be for such a price? They were balanced with 30-70 grams per wheel.

They were noisy for the first 2000 km like studded tires until the tread layer wore off, then they became quieter. On frozen and wet asphalt, in rain, ice, or snowdrifts at below -10 outside, their behavior is overall satisfactory (comparing to Michelin winter tires on another car).

The main drawbacks were revealed at mild minus temperatures on ice or snowy slush - lateral drift to the left/right when starting sharply with wheelspin, ABS often engages during moderate braking, but overall it's quite predictable. They will suit cities where roads are cleaned, sanded, and watered, or regions like Yakutia with strong frosts. In city mode, TPMS shows tire heating by +10-15 degrees above the ambient air temperature.

I didn't expect the Chinese to be so high on quality. The car goes like butter with 3 tons of load, comfortably reaching 170 km/h. It cuts through snow nicely, and I took the village snowmobile trail with a trailer (containing 2 snowmobiles) on the front wheel drive, thinking I'd struggle, but I made it through. The 1200 km road to Kazan was again filled with snow, with temperatures between -5 and -6°C,

Hi. I've bought Ovation 205/55R16 for my Jetta 5. The tire is quite good. It's perfect for city driving, especially at this price. It handles snow and wet pavement decently and also holds the road well. However, it has one major drawback - it struggles with slushy snow and ice. I got stuck once with this tire. If you encounter a small incline with ice or slushy snow, you won't be able to

I use this as an all-season tire. Mileage at 35,000 km, I estimate 60,000 km will be exactly the limit. If it wears out at 20,000 km in 0°C, there must be something wrong with the car. I replaced Nordman SX with this, thought I had gone deaf. Turns out the tire is really quiet. It's not the magic of siping, it's not worth waiting for at this price, but the tire

The tire itself is slightly wavy, but! The price-quality ratio is in the best form, I honestly expected it to be worse. It's not noisy, very soft (most likely it wears out quickly). On ice and on snow it behaves quite confidently, it brakes well on packed snow. You shouldn't expect anything extraordinary, the tire is average. Tires from other manufacturers with similar behavior on the road cost an order of magnitude more, and there's no guarantee it will be better.

I've been thinking for a long time about whether to buy Chinese winter tires or not. Last summer I took Triangle tires and was very pleased with them. I decided to try Chinese tires for winter as well. My first impressions are only positive. City driving is very comfortable. Up to 110 km/h, they practically don't make any noise. The tires are very soft, they handle lying police better than premium class tires. On winter slush, the handling is confident. When driving aggressively, they may lose traction, but the movement is predictable. When braking, they grip until the very end, and ABS only kicks in during very sharp braking, which no normal person does on ice. In short, the cost of R17-235/65 for 26 thousand rubles, including tire mounting, is quite adequate.
