Tyre reviews Taurus Winter. Page 1 148

I purchased these tires because I had previously used studded tires from the Kormoran company, which, like Taurus, is a subsidiary of Michelin. At first glance, the quality is good, it was balanced perfectly, and based on my initial impressions, it is not noisy, and moderately soft, I think, just like the previous one (Kormoran), it will last for at least five years.

A fairly decent representative of the mid-budget segment. But you need to be careful on the road with snow porridge, they hold weakly

For its price, the tires are top-notch. I have experience with Tigar winter (similar) tires. The tires are soft and comfortable, they handle snow like a tank. They don't make noise. The sidewall is soft, so it's afraid of curbs. Obviously, it's not suitable for racers)

Excellent tires. Even unexpectedly excellent.
Quality is on par with top brands.

Serbia! Fresh 2022

I bought these tires as the only ones available when I urgently needed them. We have a warm winter, and I haven't driven on snow or ice with them. But driving on asphalt at temperatures of -3...+10 is, to be honest, a nightmare. From a physics standpoint, everything is fine, but these tires are extremely noisy. In addition to the constant hum, my particular set makes a rhythmic dull "boom-boom-boom" sound at speeds of 40-70 km/h at the above-mentioned temperatures. There are no vibrations. I've tried to balance them three times, each time at a different place - the balance is fine, no problems. The tire shop employees say it's due to the combination of an aggressive large tread pattern, a large number of lamellas, and softness. On smooth new asphalt, 20 minutes of city driving turns into a nightmare. Honestly, I wouldn't recommend them to anyone, it's torture.

Cool tires. After icy rain, everyone was sliding, and I was driving, and that's on the studded tires!! I felt quite confident in these shoes. Didn't drive on snow.

Having driven for 11 years, I tried studded tires for the first time in winter. Up to 200 km/h on dry/wet roads, I have no complaints, they are much quieter than studded tires in this price category.
Among the drawbacks, I note the traction on ice, which is much worse than with studded tires, although I didn't notice any difference when braking.
They are very soft, but I did hit a couple of potholes, there were no punctures, and the sidewall is good on the shoulder.

A good soft tire, the pattern is nice, completely quiet. But not for our roads. Afraid of potholes. This is the first set of tires that got bulges in the first season. It didn't last for the second season: drove into a pothole at night - two wheels are done. It turns out it only lasted for one winter. Before this set, tires of a different brand were stronger, we drove for 4 years without bulges. I will buy something more durable next time. In general, if this tire were reinforced, it would be priceless.

Good tires. Evaluated at the tire shop twice. Not noisy, quite soft. Need to be careful with potholes to avoid puncturing the wheel. But I think this applies to all tires. Previously had Hankook and Toyo tires. So, I didn't see a difference in performance, but the price difference is huge. In general, I'm very satisfied.
