Super tire

Tires do not live up to the name of winter Scandinavian friction. Bought in size 275/45r21. First of all, the tread depth on this size is no more than 7 mm, on sizes up to r19 the tread height is somehow higher (they save on everything to somehow justify the price). The stiffness of the lamellas is an order of magnitude higher than that of all Scandinavian friction tires. The rubber is not suitable for use in Russian winter conditions (Moscow and the region) when the frost is around 20 degrees, it does not hold the road even on asphalt, on rolled snow it is bad, on ice it is terrible. It can be called European winter with a stretch. It behaves well on wet and dry asphalt at positive and weakly negative temperatures. It will probably suit the southern regions of Russia. In addition, all 4 wheels turned out to be curved, and when checked on a specialized machine, the beat was within the normal limits at the top edge. But from 130 km/h there is a beat. There is experience with Triangle summer tires up to 19 radius, everything is fine with the geometry. I do not recommend using this winter tire and Triangle tires from 20 radius in general.

The tire is good for the first two weeks after purchase, then only on asphalt and down to -10.
Otherwise, it's plastic.
Mush, ice, and snow at a speed of 40-60, beyond that it's scary.

Probably not a bad tire, BUT.... I ordered one tire to replace the factory one with a hernia due to a pit. As a result, Delovye Linii sent a deformed tire, as if they had made a children's swing out of it, with tightening from some rope on the cord, and it's all oval. Mosavtoshina refunded the money, but the carrier refused. Allegedly, they delivered what they sent. In the end, all communication with Mosavtoshina and its chosen carrier cost me around 800 rubles, a lot of wasted time and nerves.

In October 2022, I installed Triangle PL-02 tires, size 265*60*18. I drove 29,000 km.
Conclusion: I noticed that on frost, snow, and asphalt, it's better to keep the pressure at 1.9-2.0 kg. As the snow melted, it's better to have a pressure of 2.2 kg, which reduces fuel consumption. Today, April 4th, I wanted to change the tires, but the tread won't last for a second winter, as it has worn out almost halfway to the winter mark. It can still be used in the summer. I plan to buy the same tires for the next winter, as they have proven to be exceptionally reliable. Of course, Bridgestone Blizzak DM-V2 would have lasted for two winters, but it's also twice as expensive. The feeling of new tires gives more confidence, that's how it is.

Terrible tires, it's clear that the price is not high, but to behave so poorly on the road, to be honest, I didn't know. It drifts on the road, ice and rutted areas are just scary. Based on feelings. On the second car, too, there is a "Lipuchka" tire, the third season, much more confident. I chose based on reviews, but I will put 1 star because, after all, it's "winter" tires. For the city, it will do, but out of town, ruts, turns, no.

I bought a Triangle in 285/50 R20 on my son's recommendation, and I was looking at the tread protector and it seemed too thin. I grabbed a micrometer and measured it, and you won't believe it, but it's exactly 7mm! And this is on brand new winter tires, which typically have a standard thickness of 8.5-9.5mm. So where are the other 2mm? They're nowhere to be found! Therefore, maybe
