Tyre reviews Tracmax X-Privilo S500. Page 20 482

Excellent tire. In no way inferior to Nokian hapilita!

Overall, the tires are better than expected, for this price it's a Find

Excellent tire

While it was not possible to fully evaluate all parameters due to the weather, it's not bad overall.

Expectations were rather positive, but I was disappointed and hello tire noise. It's noisy from the tires in the cabin, and louder the higher the speed. Disappointed, very.

Studs are not particularly good. You can drive

I purchased these tires in the fall of 2024. Prior to this, I had driven on Nokian R3 for 4 years, but after the winter of 2024 with its abundant snowfall and icy rural roads, I decided that studded tires would be preferable, despite being a fan of "soft" tires. Considering the high cost of European brands, I decided to experiment with the S500, taking into account the opinions of "armchair" experts who provided data on the number of studs and Shore hardness. I installed them on my vehicle in December during a normal snowfall, after which the snowy winter ended, but there were fun rains and beautiful ice in the villages. Now, to the point, the tire size is 255/55 R19, the actual contact patch is only 205, which is narrower than the Nokian of the same size. The behavior at high speeds on the M12 on wet/dry asphalt was not impressive, and slowing down from high speeds does not inspire confidence. Fuel consumption has increased compared to the Nokian. On ice, despite the large number of studs, one should consider their small size, they are smaller than usual, the braking distance is not the shortest, and the feeling is that it could be better, although the tread pattern is like a native brother of the Nokian R3. After a mileage of about 5,000 km, all the studs are still in place. For calm, non-aggressive driving, they will do, and in terms of price/characteristics, they win out over premium brands. I will not recommend them, let each person decide for themselves.

I'm reading reviews and I don't understand how this tire can be called winter tires? I've driven about 1000 km on these tires, and I summarize: not noisy, unmanageable on ice, the braking distance on a snowy road is very long, the car becomes unmanageable. In general, I arrived from the trip and bought a reliable Nokian Nordman 7.

Everything is fine, except that one price is indicated in the announcement, and then when ordering, they also take an additional payment for delivery, and the price for the tire turns out to be different. But everything else is good, they sent and delivered quickly, the tires are fresh, end of 23rd year.

Quite high-quality tires, they do not become brittle in frost and hold
