Tyre reviews Roadstone Winguard Spike 377

I've done around 7,000 km over the winter and it's been extremely quiet. The tire is still great, it's handling snow perfectly, and I love driving on unpaved roads. The studs are all in place, and the tread is still intact. If you asked me, I'd definitely go for a new one just like this.

I've been driving a minivan for over 8 years on the vast expanses of Western Siberia. In that time, I've worn out not one set of tires. Last year, I decided to replace my friend's tires. I chose Roadstone not by chance. The tread pattern and the distribution of studs are ideal for the winter operation of a two-ton truck in a sharply continental climate. I didn't drive the first 500 km, didn't spin out, and as a result

Very good, budget option. Don't say I ran any tests on it, just a good, reliable tire. Fitted and forgot.

I bought in September, installed in October 2017, a budget winter studded tire Roadstone Winguard Spike 205/55 R16 94T XL (made in Korea, written on the tire itself). Purchased through Mosavtoshina - gave a good price on the tire and on the tire mounting 50%.

At the time of writing this review, I have driven about 2t. km on these tires. All studs are in place. I am

I will compare it to the Nordman 8. Pros: quieter, better on asphalt in positive temperatures, more precise handling, excellent on water. That's all. Now the cons: ice - not good, starting uphill on ice... it's possible, but far from ideal. When braking on asphalt with a light ice crust, the ABS kicks in quickly (with the Nordman 8, the braking distance would be much shorter). Snow - well, it's so-so, you can drive, but not as confidently. In short... well, 3 points out of 5. For calm driving, it's suitable. But the Nordman 8 is much better in harsh winter conditions, giving more confidence. However, if you're in southern regions, you'll really like this Roadstone.

I've driven on these tires for two winters. They are decent tires for their price. Not very noisy. I haven't lost a single stud in two seasons. They don't handle loose snow very well. However, they handle packed snow well. Ice - also well.

With these tires, I've gained confidence in the car's behavior during winter. It handles the road perfectly on slippery surfaces and brakes very well. Of course, if it's a stretch of black ice, only chains can stop the car. The anti-skid and stability control systems are also helpful. In general, it performs flawlessly on any surface! In the past, I always had problems during winter, and I didn't think tires could be so grippy. It feels like it can't get any better. And what about the premium segment? Is it even better, like during summer? By the way, the country of manufacture is Korea, which I think also makes a difference. I'm very satisfied with my choice! I can definitely recommend these tires, especially at this price.

As a replacement for Michelin XIN 2, they initially felt significantly stiffer. All road irregularities were translated into the cabin. This feeling lasted for a month of operation and not due to the driver's adaptation to the sounds in the cabin, but due to the change in the properties of the rubber. Overall, driving on the tire turned out to be comfortable. At my aggressive driving style, no claims arose on any of the parameters: handling, traction, durability. The tire was operated

Good winter tires for the price. Suitable for quiet driving. Doesn't get stuck in drifts, bites well enough. Initially, the tires made some noise, but after about 500 km, they broke in and became significantly quieter. Regarding wear, it's not clear yet, I will add to the review by the end of winter.

I bought the wheels in 2014, haven't driven much, no visible wear, but the years affect the tires, so over 9 seasons, the quality of the grip with the road is certainly not what it used to be. BUT all the studs are in place, despite the fact that I can start moving with wheelspin and had to brake sharply. The studs are generally not audible, although there is no additional sound insulation on the car. I balanced them twice over the entire time, since there are two sets of disks. At high speed in a turn, the car is pulled, but I think the weight of the car affects this, and once the rear wheels were thrown out of the rut, but it was very slippery and there hasn't been anything like that since. In all other respects, handling is predictable and reliable. For their price, these are very good tires.
