Tyre reviews Tracmax X-Privilo S500. Page 22 488

I like it, good tire

245/55/19. Poorly balanced, a lot of weights were hung, more than 120 grams in one plane on two wheels. 80 grams on two wheels.
At 110 (from 90 to 125 feels) vibration remained.
Two wheels are crooked, visible on the balancing stand. Rubbish.
If not vibration, the rest is either cast or normal

Not bad

Surprisingly grippy and awesome tires turned out to be

The tires performed well. Quiet, studs did not come out, they hold the road normally. For their price, excellent tires

Bought because there wasn't even enough money for our Russian tires. Let's see how we'll get through the winter. Hope the spikes won't come off.

It may be useful to someone on the eve of winter. I bought it in the fall of 2024. Before that, I drove 4 years on Nokian R3, but after the winter of 24 with abundant snowfalls and icy rural roads, I decided that studded tires would be preferable, although I was a fan of "soft" tires. Considering the high price of European brands, I decided to experiment with Tracmax X-Privilo S500, taking into account the opinion of "armchair" experts who provided data on the number of studs and hardness according to the Shore scale. I put on Tracmax only 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 contact patch is actually only 205, which is narrower than the Nokian of the same size. The behavior at high speeds on the M12 on wet/dry asphalt did not like it, and the deceleration from high speeds also does not inspire confidence. Fuel consumption has increased compared to 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 it could have been better, although the tread pattern is like a native brother of 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 the price/characteristics ratio, they win over premium brands. I won't recommend them, let each person decide for themselves.

For this price it's not bad. Suitable for people with calm driving.

normal

Normal tires for me, since I didn't drive on premium ones.
