Tyre reviews Triangle PL02. Page 2 1564

I really liked the Triangle PL 02 tires. They are quite quiet and handle the road perfectly. Ideal for St. Petersburg's winter! I have a 20-inch radius and despite that, they are quite soft. Will I buy summer tires from Mosavtoshina as well?

I bought them in 2021 for 4500 rubles, 245/45 R17, they handle snow confidently. It's a good choice for winter, all those who have installed them have no complaints, they do their job, but as for ice, all studded tires slip, it depends on the grip between the wheel and the road. I'd say, Michelin Ice Snow also slips on ice. The smoother you drive, the farther you'll go, especially on ice.

GOOD TIRES FOR THEIR PRICE. BOUGHT THEM PURELY FOR EXPERIMENT AS I DIDN'T WANT TO SWITCH FROM 19 TO 18 INCHES AFTER THE SUMMER. I THOUGHT IF THEY'RE NOT VERY GOOD, I'LL JUST CHANGE THE WHEELS TO 18 INCHES AND SELL THE TIRES, BUT IT TURNED OUT THAT TRIANGLE TIRES ARE ACTUALLY QUITE GOOD.

Good day. I had a lot to choose from, but I chose these tires and don't regret it at all, excellent tires in any winter conditions.

Operation in Moscow and the Moscow region, there were trips over 1000km, everything is still great. I advise everyone. My car is a GAC GS8 2024, size 255/55r20

An excellent tire for its price
Choosing this tire, you don't have to wait for a "wow" effect on ice and so on, like some people write in comments that it doesn't brake on ice
you don't need this tire if you have icy roads in winter
it doesn't lead the car into a skid, brakes normally on a snowy road, everything depends on the speed...
I had Triangle TR777 tires before, and everything was fine

Excellent tires at a great price!
I got them for my A4 Quattro and I don't regret it at all, the tires perform great on any road, but on ice and slush you need to be naturally more careful, just like with any other tire.
245/40 R19, inflated to 2.0 bar, and it's not harsh and grips well.
If you need traction, you can safely buy these, in my opinion, for the money, this is the best model.

I'm taking my second set. The tires are fine. On the highway, it's not noisy, it rides well. I've driven 50,000 km, and there's 5 mm of tread left. I bought a new set of the same ones.
The tires are non-studded. I've had different tires, Nokian Hakkapeliitta and Michelin. For me, there's no difference. The main thing is the ability to drive in winter conditions. Overpaying for a European brand isn't worth it. It's more marketing and show. But it works, so people buy premium brands. If you don't need to prove anything to anyone, you can take these. If you do, take Michelin. It won't affect the driving quality.
Good luck on the roads!

Vehicle Model: BMW X3 (G01)

Mileage on these tires: ~ 600km (did not withstand and removed)

Overall impression: I CATEGORICALLY DO NOT RECOMMEND. This is the worst tire I've ever encountered. The complete absence of declared characteristics turns a ride on a serious car into a nervous and potentially hazardous test.

Cons (all of them):

1. Zero directional stability and "floating": When entering any turn, even a smooth one, there's a feeling that the rear of the car "floats" and catches up with the front. Complete lack of clear feedback and confidence. On the highway - constant struggle with the steering wheel, the car constantly needs to be "caught". For BMW X3, with its excellent handling from the factory, this is simply mockery.

2. Nightmare with balancing (and not only): The problem is not with the tire mounting, but with the quality of the tire itself. I had to go to balancing THREE TIMES (!) to achieve a more or less tolerable result. Specialists threw up their hands, swapped wheels, and put grams on grams. And this is on new wheels!

3. Frightful radial runout/ellipticity ("washboarding"): Even AFTER all the struggles with balancing, on perfectly even new asphalt, the feeling remained that I was driving on a washboard or a small cobblestone road. This is not imbalance, it's the tire's runout, "washboarding". The car instead of smooth movement vibrates and bounces slightly. Comfort is zero, you get tired behind the wheel instantly.

Conclusion: Saving money on such tires for a car like BMW X3 is a direct threat to safety and comfort. Triangle PL02 tires completely kill handling, predictability, and driving pleasure. The money spent can be considered thrown to the wind. It's better to pay extra for a proven budget European or Korean model, but by no means get involved with this. In my case, the tires were dismantled and disposed of at the nearest landfill.

I've always been an advocate for studded tires. Finally, I decided to reconsider my opinion and opt for friction tires.
My summer tires were already Triangle - high-speed ones. In the end, I liked the summer tires.
And to avoid being overwhelmed by the abundance of choices, I decided to go with Triangle for my winter tires as well.
What can I say - the tires are great, the Chinese have done an excellent job.
This year's winter in St. Petersburg turned out to be very snowy and frosty, so I was able to test the tires in snowy slush and on ice, and in the spring, on puddles. They handle very confidently in snowy slush. On ice, they're also quite good, at low speeds they're no worse than studded tires, and in city conditions, I never had any problems. Although for most of the winter, I was driving in sub-zero temperatures and there was plenty of ice.
In puddles and potholes with water, they behave normally, they don't float, at least not on new tires.
Another thing is the quietness, there's no annoying clunking sound. I have a decent sound system, and I can barely hear these tires.
My conclusion - I never expected that I could move around so comfortably on friction tires.
I definitely give these tires a thumbs up. I recommend purchasing them.

The 235/50 R19 103H tire met all expectations. It handles confidently in snow, holds in ruts, and on ice, the car's behavior is average but predictable. A definite plus is the presence of a rim protection strip. I'm very pleased with the tire. I recommend it.
