Tyre reviews Venom Power Terra Hunter X/T2. Page 2 6231

Tires are on fire!
Not suitable for acoustic aesthetes. There's a rumble. But after 100km/h, there's enough noise anyway. So it's okay.
I drove the southern route of the Pamir Highway on them, those who know what I'm talking about will understand me. I had to lower the pressure to one atmosphere and ride on rough terrain. Take them, you won't regret it

I bought tires in Voronezh, ordered them from Moscow, didn't install them on my car right away, took them to Sevastopol where I had them installed, it turned out that out of the four tires, one was more or less normal. One was completely bad, the others were poorly balanced, I made a video, sent it to support, waiting for a response, there is a warranty, but the problem is with replacement and return to the warehouse, if support says it's possible to replace them in Rostov, it would be good, but for now, I'm waiting for a response.

I'm giving a low rating because I haven't used them much, there is noise, but it's not that scary, vibration throughout the body, the suspension wears out quickly.
There are reviews online about the same situation, out of four tires, only one was good, I don't recommend them.

I've driven a bit on the Venom, previously had BF Goodrich All Terrain T/A KO2 in 17 size.

I bought 16-inch forged wheels and decided to take the Venom. I won't say anything bad, as they don't stand like Goodrich, but they're 2 times cheaper.

The tread is 10 mm high, although I could have taken a different model with 12 mm tread from the store.

The tires are a bit noisier than Goodrich, so 3 stars. In fact, it's a summer tire, although it has an M+S sign on the sidewall, but it's definitely not for winter, also 3 stars. Everything else is roughly like Goodrich. Maybe I didn't feel something, since I have torsions and springs on the rear suspension. A solid "4"!

PS: It's very strange when the site asks for a review, but doesn't give the opportunity to add it if the buyer doesn't know how the car behaves on snow (I bought it in early March and there's no snow) and wear resistance, the opinion about which can only manifest after one season of use??? I put 3 stars in these two categories. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's for the site's programmers.

In short:
The best tires for the money! VERY satisfied! I recommend to everyone.
In detail:
The tires are thick, strong, with reinforced cords = well resistant to sharp stones (no punctures).
At low pressure, it goes very softly on a hard stone road (some even fell asleep on such a road +).
In the mountains, in the rain, in any direction (up and down), it confidently holds the road, grips well.
Pay attention to the contact patch of these tires, compared to others, it's almost a rectangle.
Side lugs, at least they protrude, not just painted on.
Everyone said that in the "rain" such tires don't hold on the highway = checked at 130-140 km/h in the rain, it goes like on dry pavement.
Also checked at 180 km/h on dry pavement, without any problems, holds confidently.
!There is a characteristic "hum" from this tread pattern, cured by music ;).
Yes, by the way, the tread pattern is beautiful, aggressive, many were surprised to see such tires. Similar to BF Goodrich ALL Terrain AT.

Excellent tires, I chose them for a long time and didn't regret it once. I've driven 200 km, the weather is dry and I haven't had the opportunity to evaluate how they behave on wet asphalt yet, and I haven't driven on dirt roads either, but I think everything will be great. Regarding noise, I'll say that compared to Cordiant All-Terrain, which I had last summer, it's like heaven and earth. In fact, there was a hum, but over time it got quieter and now it's completely inaudible.

I don't like writing reviews, especially negative ones, but this time I've had enough.

I ordered these tires from Mosavtoshina, but they were out of stock, and they told me to wait for delivery from Voronezh. I decided to look elsewhere and found the same tires on Wildberries—supplier Mosavtoshina—available and even cheaper. I placed an order, they delivered, I paid, picked them up, and took them to Ivanor Tire Center in Kurkino. The guys mounted them, but immediately pointed out that one tire was unbalanced. We tried rotating it, but it didn't help. The tire not only jumps, but is also crooked axially—basically warped. I installed it on the rear right wheel, but driving became unbearable; on the highway I thought the car's frame would crack. I called Mosavtoshina and asked about the warranty, but got no real response—"it wasn't us who mounted the tires," and so on. In short, it's a scam. In the end, I ordered a replacement tire from them again—the item is listed on their website—but my order was rejected: "out of stock." This happened two more times. Only after two weeks was my order confirmed, but by then I had already found the tire elsewhere.

My conclusion: I ended up losing money on one tire and wasted a huge amount of nerves.

No one takes responsibility—they slide out of it effortlessly.

This review will 100% be deleted.

But please pass this on to your management: this review existed, and if they wish, your management can contact me to discuss all issues. I'm ready to provide all purchase receipts and documentation.

P.S.

I am a manager at one of the service centers of the largest dealer in Russia, so I think your Director and I have something to discuss.

Sincerely, Oleg S.

A very unusual tire for my diesel Duster. Firstly, it's unusually soft. When driving over bumps, there's no harsh feedback from the rubber and no noise. It absorbs minor irregularities. In April's snowfall in Moscow, it perfectly held the car (well, of course, in 4x4 mode) in the snowy-wet mess on the road. Acceleration, lane changes, braking - just like on asphalt. I didn't feel much of a difference. The sedans driving behind me were quite surprised by my agility in such weather and road conditions. Off-road?! What's that? Even on loose sand, it drives smoothly. The noise level at 100 km/h is slightly higher than the diesel noise, but not critically. It's like a reactive turbine humming - WUUUU!!! Fuel consumption has increased slightly, but that's a normal phenomenon. With such a tread pattern, it's okay. By the way, with the onset of warm weather and increased mileage, the tire noise has become quieter. Apparently, it's breaking in. And it looks very solid. Like a real mini tractor! In short, the tire is specific, but decent. If you have four-wheel drive, you won't regret it. And it's not expensive.

Good roads to everyone!

Good day to everyone and pleasant journeys without any obstacles in every sense.
This is a strictly subjective review based solely on personal and first experience with AT tires. I've read a lot of different opinions, but I've decided to share my own. Initially, I considered Venom Power Ragnarok GTS, then Venom Power Trail Hunter ATS, but it didn't work out. By the end of the year, they were sold out.
So, the "Great and Terrible" Venom Power Terra Hunter XT2 114T XL RWL, visually and tactilely, seems good. The size is 265/60 R18, and the tire is designed for an 8J rim, but I installed it on a 7.5J rim (the allowed range is 7.5J-9.5J).
The production date is mid-2025, and I purchased it at the end of December 2025. The total cost, including delivery and installation, was approximately 56,000 rubles.
Honestly and factually, the installation was easy and without any issues. The rims are perfectly even. The balancing per wheel is 65, 80, 85, and 120, which is slightly uneven, but surprisingly, there are no vibrations or beats during acceleration, braking, or maneuvers at various speeds. This raises questions about the tire's geometry. Fortunately, the experienced tire installer "turned the tires on the rim" to minimize the imbalance. Presumably, the tire's geometry is due to the production process, and if that's the case, it's unfortunate. If it's due to careless storage or transportation, it's no less disturbing. I don't know.
The usage started at the end of March, with dry roads and positive temperatures. By mid-May, the approximate mileage was around 3,000 km. The tire's appearance is very expressive, and many people notice and are interested in it. Even owners of luxury agricultural equipment and "crazy hippos" (TLC, Pajero, Prado, Tahoe, HiLux, Hummer, Tundra, RAM, RR, Escalade, etc.) look at it appraisingly (perhaps they're experts or connoisseurs).
Initially, I was disappointed that the tires started howling (like a flying bomber) after about 1,000 km. The howling decreased slightly with more mileage (which is a relief), possibly due to the tires "settling in." After adjusting the toe and camber, the tire's sound changed to a more stable and less intrusive one (the howling decreased, but it's still present). At any speed, you can hear music and conversation comfortably. The warmer the weather, the less the tires howl. Following the trend of Peaceful Enthusiasm, I accelerated to 160 km/h a few times (confidently, without vibrations, but with significant howling). The sound doesn't cause strong discomfort up to 130 km/h. The tire's tread is good, and fuel consumption is within 10-14.5 liters per 100 km in a mixed cycle (highway and city, naturally following traffic rules). I haven't driven on snow, ice, or mud. I assume it will perform well on snow (elastic and treaded).
On dry sandy, dirt, and gravel roads, I drove with the goal of a clean experiment, also as a Peaceful Enthusiast, and the tire behaves very dignifiedly, showing positive qualities. It moves smoothly, grips the surface confidently, predictably, and reliably, which is exactly what it was designed for.
Regarding the tire's howling on asphalt, it seems that a tread of this type cannot be "quiet," and much depends on the car's sound insulation and individual perception (I have extensive experience with low-profile tires from various manufacturers, and they all "rumble" and make noise).
On asphalt, the tire's ride is very smooth and pleasant, excluding the already unobtrusive howling. With braking, cornering, and various speed regimes, whether in rain or dry conditions, there are no issues (if you understand that the tire is not sports-oriented). Potholes, cracks, bumps, and puddles are handled confidently and smoothly. Dry asphalt is held confidently, with stable directional stability. In a rut, it predictably and smoothly "sways" while maintaining stable handling (the car has a frame).
It stably holds the asphalt strip during road repairs, driving like it's on rails (the car doesn't drift from side to side). In the rain, the ride is confident, without aquaplaning (heavy rain, water in the rut, puddles, deep puddles, speed 80-110 km/h without fanaticism).
In conclusion, driving in the city and on rough terrain is very comfortable. On the highway, there is a hum, which is not particularly critical, as there should be a clear understanding of the purchase.
I understand that the review is lengthy, but I wanted to share my experience.
Good luck to everyone.

I purchased four tires, size LT245/75 R16, from Mosaftoshina. They were delivered to Samara from Voronezh on April 30th and installed the same day. What can I say? The balancing was very poor. The tires were spinning on the rims in all sorts of ways. In the end, they had to add 200-300 grams of weight to each wheel. When I drove out of the "tire shop", I noticed that the car was bouncing on low speed. I returned, and they rebalanced it again - one tire was elliptical. Although the tires are new, 46th week of 2025, they said it was the result of improper storage.

I tried driving with increased pressure - it made no difference. They spun the tire on the rim several more times - it was useless. I installed it on the rear axle and reduced the pressure to 1.8 - at least it's somewhat drivable. In general, I've never seen worse tires! I've bought Chinese tires in the same size (also LT) - they were at least even, and balanced perfectly. But these...

In summary, I do not recommend purchasing these tires. Or, it will be a lottery for you, what kind of tires you'll end up with. I didn't get lucky. Although, when I was choosing these tires, I came across a couple of reviews with similar situations. I thought it would be okay.

I didn't bother to "make a fuss" with Mosaftoshina and return one tire, since the car can't drive on three wheels, and the spare tire is smaller. In the end, I'll probably have to order another tire, hoping it will be normal. And I'll put the defective tire on the spare wheel.

Either the tires were incorrectly fitted or they are like that, all four tires are like eggs and cannot be balanced
