Tyre reviews Venom Power Ice Hunter WTS 148

Realistically reinforced sidewalls, a small but necessary number of studs. Practically does not make noise.

Very noisy, even after a mileage of over 1,000 km, but that's half the problem, you can blame the poor sound insulation of the car, but the tires are hard, they don't hold the road at all, it feels like you're driving on stiff summer tires. Any slight braking turns into skidding. Driving on such tires is unsafe, in the city it's still tolerable, but on the highway it's very dangerous. I do not recommend purchasing, next season I will buy different tires, safety is more important.

Howls when accelerating like a steam train. On ice, it's really bad. Now that I've driven it for a while, it's gotten a little better. The only plus is the price.

Tires are good for everyone....but they run small!!!...with a width of 275/60/20, the contact patch is 215mm. This is at least 40mm less than the winter Hankook, and the summer and A/T are even wider. The 10-inch rim is fully consistent with the size, they barely fit...even on an 8-inch rim, it can't be put on without adventure...the wheel sits like a bagel, which greatly spoils the look of the wheels....at the same time, this same wheel in size 275/50/22 has a contact patch width of 265mm....this factor, of course, greatly spoiled the impression of the tire.

I had to buy tires in one day because I was passing through Moscow. These tires were in stock. I bought them because they had good reviews for the model, but I had serious doubts due to the low price. The tires pleased me... Many people complain about the noise, but they are completely quiet. I didn't get to drive on snow, but I caught a temperature drop, so I drove on a layer of ice on the asphalt. In principle, it's worthy. Of course, there are not as many studs as on Michelin, but I chose them for the middle lane, so it's very good. So I recommend them.

The first 200-300 km were very noisy. After running in, they no longer make as much noise and hold the course well. They performed excellently on mud and snow. On ice, the performance is not average, as there are not enough studs. The studs themselves are holding up well, all in place after 10,000 km of mileage. Visually, they look beautiful!

Excellent tires!
Installed on 2 cars!
Holds the road well, drives through snowdrifts, on wet and slippery roads the car handling is predictable, even on dry roads it's quiet, at speeds up to 160 km/h the ride is comfortable without rocking on a rutted road.
I recommend to our manufacturers to copy the tread pattern and recipe of winter tires and make the same for all car brands.

Overall, it's fine, a small number of studs can be felt, but overall it's fine for its durability, there wasn't a place where I couldn't drive out, especially during the 2025-2026 winter

When I bought them, I understood it was an experiment, there were no reviews, the tread pattern is beautiful but strange. In terms of noise - normal. They don't become hard in the frost. In terms of comfort - normal. They brake well. But I didn't like the ride, on asphalt - three out of five - they throw out of the track. On puddles - you need to reduce speed compared to other tires. On snow - they grip well. I even had the idea to change them, but then I got used to them, I guess. At high speed (on the M12 highway) on a dry road, they start to float at 180 - it was an experiment.

Вроде не плохо ,шумят как и все +еще нет снега.Все колеса при установке балансировали.
