Tyre reviews Tracmax X-Privilo S500. Page 2 482

I bought them for the front axle, and left the Nordman 8 on the rear with 6mm tread remaining and almost all the studs still intact.
The pros of the Chinese tires are their price and wear resistance (after 6,000 km, including almost no snowy St. Petersburg winter, there's practically no wear, and I drove quite aggressively on dry asphalt, without being gentle. The studs are also all in place, and haven't sunk in.
In terms of noise, they're quiet for studded tires, but there's a small range around 90-95 km/h where there's a distinct hum, but you can just drive a bit faster or slower, or turn up the music.
Driving on asphalt is quite comfortable, with no floating or instability, and the steering is sharp enough.
I don't feel the wheel ruts much either, which is also comfortable.
The cons are that the braking on ice is weak for the number of studs, and the Nordman 8 stops the car much faster. Apparently, the rubber compound is too hard (which is also why the wear is so low). But steering on ice is very good, with no loss of traction, unless you deliberately try to push your luck.
The car doesn't have any electronic aids, not even ABS.
In short, the tires are average in terms of their overall qualities, but they're also the cheapest. I think they deserve 4 stars for that.
I didn't have any damage over the season, and they balanced well.
Next time, I'd probably try a different Chinese brand to see how they compare. Not because these are bad, but different tires give you a different feel when driving, like you're driving a slightly different car. There are always pros and cons.

A great winter tire. It holds the road well. On ice and asphalt, it behaves decently. Quiet, compared to, for example, IKON Avtograf 9.

I'm satisfied with the tires! They handle the road well. There were no problems in the snow, the car drove out of the snowdrift normally on these tires. However, there is noise while driving, but it's not critical

After use for 2.5 months.
The studs are slightly smaller in size than usual, but this is compensated by their quantity.
At a temperature of -30, the rubber was soft.
On ice and snowy roads, confident and predictable handling.
Noise level is a confident 4 out of 5.
Good price-to-quality ratio.
(purchased for 10600)

Excellent tires, quiet, the winter was harsh, performed great, no punctures or bulges appeared, all studs are in place

Soft, not noisy, hold the road, studs are small, let's see how they behave over the season. For their money, good wheels. Previously, I had Yokohama for 10,000 rubles, which behaved much worse on the road!

The tires are unexpectedly excellent. Practically noiseless. Turns and braking have ideal traction. Wheel spin only when accelerating sharply. Not a single stud was lost. Haven't driven over 180 yet.

Very noisy, especially after 60km..will drive out the season and sell, won't withstand a 2nd winter... among the advantages, it exits the rut well, also great on snow, but not highway tires

Having read reviews and believed in the words "not worse than renowned brands", I decided to try this model.
The tires are used on the Ural with all the resulting weather and road conditions.
Previously, I drove on Michelin 4 and Continental Ice Contact 2-3 for a long time. I will make a comparison with them.
If you don't consider the price, but only consider driving characteristics, I can confidently say that Trazano is worse in everything, and noticeably so.
Pros: many positive reviews.
Cons: doesn't stop, doesn't hold turns, doesn't provide a confident grip when accelerating.
My conclusion: the health and life of my family is not worth 150 thousand (the difference with Michelin), China remains China, I sold the tires and bought Michelin.

Excellent tires, four-wheel drive is only used in exceptional cases. I drive everywhere in rear-wheel drive, the tires literally bite into the ice. At speed, when changing lanes, the car behaves predictably, no loss of rear axle traction on snow is noticed. This is despite the fact that the car lacks any electronics except for ABS.
