Tyre reviews Windforce Catchfors A/T 1654

I didn't think that A/T could be so quiet!!! And the stability when maneuvering, it swallows transverse potholes with ease, holds the track, regardless of whether you're entering or exiting - and at speed, too. I'm completely satisfied, and shocked by the quality, although I had very big doubts. Now I have no doubts, it's definitely!!! Haven't driven in winter yet.

Excellent wheels. Good price. Balanced without problems. No beats. On the sudden snow and ice, they worked well, but this is not winter tires. They hold the road perfectly, do not make noise. I haven't driven on mud yet, but I have confidence in the success of this event, within reasonable limits.

Excellent tires. First time in my life I bought Chinese ones. I don't regret it at all. The best that exists on the market in terms of price-quality ratio. I recommend them. They perform perfectly both in mud and on asphalt.

I bought tires for a Gazelle, decided to experiment, looked at reviews and chose this particular model. I've driven about 20,000 km on them (winter operation so far), the ride is normal. A worthy option for price/quality.

Good time of day to everyone! I liked the tires. They are a bit noisy, but that's how it should be with such a tread. The car handles simply, as if it had been replaced. Especially noticeable after Piligrim. After observations, I noticed that the optimal pressure for my car is 2.8. I'm satisfied, in short.

Tires are soft, comfortable. They only wear out a bit when braking sharply and squeal on turns. I've gotten a bit more cautious. Haven't driven in winter yet. But overall, the tires are a plus...

Beautiful tires for any weather.

I purchased the tires in September 2022, size 205/75/r15. Accordingly, they have been used for about 2 years of summer driving or approximately 18,000 miles.

The usage breakdown is as follows: 70% city asphalt, 15% highway, 5% gravel and field roads.

Regarding the selection: when searching for tires, I was looking for non-directional AT tires in size 205/75/r15.

The tire size matches my existing 215/65/r16 tires and spare 15" rims, which allows me to replace a winter tire with one of these tires in case of a puncture and drive 50-100 km on an empty highway at any time of the year to the nearest service station.

I needed AT tires because I planned to drive on a lot of dirt and field roads when going fishing, but it turned out that most of my driving was on paved roads.

As for handling: these tires are a compromise in everything - price, quality, and handling.

On dry roads, depending on the temperature:

* Above 25 degrees Celsius, they become sloppy;
* From 5 to 25 degrees Celsius, they are okay;
* Below 5 degrees Celsius, they do not become hard, but they lack the softness of winter tires, and the absence of small lamellas plays a significant role here. They ride quietly, and in comparison with the noise from the car, they are not audible.

Winter and rain: the tires have a marking allowing for winter use, BUT they do not like snow cover, ice, or slightly wet roads. There is a paradox: the tread drives well on deep snow, confidently holds the water-filled rut, and muddy dirt road, but the lateral grip on wet asphalt is sharply weakened, and you need to slow down when cornering, which led to a change in driving style in the rain and a lack of desire to drive in the first snow and winter...

Off-road - the tires hold well on gravel, sand, tree roots, and curbs; there were no punctures, although they are naturally stiff. When driving over dry caterpillar tracks, it's a harsh vibration and noise; out of curiosity, I deflated them to 1 atm, the tires became flatter, but the shock absorption did not improve much. I didn't deflate them further because I wanted to drive, not crawl.

I didn't have the opportunity to drive in heavy mud, but compared to the native Barguzin, it's like heaven and earth - the car goes where you point it, and it doesn't spin around its axis on every bump.

As for the resource: new tires have a center depth of 7.6 mm, after 18,000 km, the depth is 6.2-6.5 mm. There are no cracks or cuts. They will last for another couple of years if I don't drive off the asphalt too far.

Would I buy them again? Due to the same compromise, I'm inclined to say no, but it will all depend on the prices and availability of tires on the market in a couple of years.

And a separate thank you to the administrators of Mosaavtoshina for the comfortable purchase of these tires.

Quite soft and not noisy. They are not very well balanced, the big difference is: 110x80, 140x110, 50x90, 40x75, all four have a big difference. The quality is comparable to the cost, apparently.

I purchased the tires in April 2022. In November 2024, at the tire service, I was advised to change the tires because they were already worn out and would not perform well in winter, but since winter had not yet arrived, I decided to continue driving. If the winter is as warm as it is now, I can drive on them safely even in the summer. The tire wear for the entire period is approximately 40% to the tread mark.
Now, about the sensations:
The tires are simply amazing!!!!!!!!
I have no complaints about the noise. There is more noise from the mirrors than from the tires.
In the summer, in the heat and in the rain, they handle the road very well. On mud, they drive like a tank.
In winter, I have no complaints at all. Last year, when there was a lot of snow, I could park wherever I wanted. I could drive into a snowbank and out of it without engaging the second axle.
Conclusion:
I recommend buying them!!! This year, I will purchase the same tires again.
