Tyre reviews Windforce Arctic Power (Нешип). Page 2 931

The tires turned out to be terrible, despite good reviews about them. Two tires were very poorly balanced, I redid the balancing in two different tire shops. The masters said the same thing - one of the wheels simply does not balance well, the second one jumps on the stand. When driving a car, there are always feelings of micro-jumps, extremely uncomfortable driving with such defects. Apparently, the manufacturer still has problems with production and quality control. I had to remove and buy new tires from a proven Korean brand, which actually resulted in double costs. Windforce compared to them are heavier tires and more rigid, although they have roughly the same characteristics.

I purchased these tires in the summer of '24. I bought them unknowingly as friction tires, but it turned out later to be a mistake, as these tires are not frictional according to their manufacturing method..
these tires are designed for studs both in terms of the protector and the quality of the rubber itself.
I would say that from the seller's side, this fact is at least criminal negligence.
I studded the tires at the Tecom factory near St. Petersburg, where tires are also manufactured and studded.
I drove well in the winter, with almost no complaints on deep snow and ice.
but this is exclusively because I put the studs on myself. By the way, there are more than 200 of them on one wheel.
in general, it's possible that they're okay for southern regions, but for the north, I wouldn't buy them without studs.
by the way, there is the same model with studs for sale.
no comment.

Winter has passed, it was snowy. The tire performed positively on snow, on asphalt. On ice, it performs poorly. You have to move very slowly. If you don't have black ice on the roads during temperature changes - the tire will be GREAT!

Hello!!! The tires are very worthy. I tested them in different winter conditions, from ice to deep snow, and in different regions, from the North Caucasus to Moscow. The rubber remains soft at -28 degrees. In my opinion, on a 10-point scale - solid 10

Good day.

The tires for their cost were very pleasing (tread depth of 10mm and quite quiet, accelerated to 160km/h), excellent water and slush drainage, performed well on fresh unpacked snow. Ice grip is also quite good for non-studded tires, both for braking and cornering. And on asphalt, it behaves well, but at high speed in a long turn, it starts to drift, but doesn't lose traction. Balancing is normal.

It's too early to judge the wear, but I've driven about 3,000km (50/50 city/highway), removed, washed, and if I didn't know I was driving them, I would have taken them for new ones.

Everything is fine, the grip on the road during ice and "mush" is excellent. There were no problems with tire mounting. I recommend.

205/65 R15 99H non-studded. I'm satisfied with the tires, they're quiet, and in snowy and icy winter conditions, they've shown decent handling and braking, with a mileage of 2500, time will tell how they'll perform further.

Replaced Toyo Observe G3-Ice with Windforce Arctic Power (Non-Studded) 235/70 R16 106T. Didn't notice any changes for better or for worse. In my opinion, the tires are of the same class.

Bought them at a discount for 6300 per piece, so 100% five stars. Will see about durability later.

Good day to everyone. I bought them for a front-wheel drive hatchback. A bit noisy, hum on the asphalt, but they were not bought for that. We live in a village outside the city, the snow is almost not cleaned. The tires grip as needed! The tread is excellent. If anyone remembers what the winter of 2025-2026 was like, and how much snow there was - the tires are super!

It slightly drifts into a side skid on a wet surface, it's a bit noisy, but such a tread pattern was expected. In snow and on ice, I really liked it. As for wear, it's not noticeable over the season, the side lugs are in place.
