Tyre reviews Windforce Catchfors H/P. Page 337 17643

Before going on vacation, after inspecting the previously installed tires on the car, I decided to replace the front two tires with new ones. I left the old ones on the rear axle (4.5 mm remaining). I purchased a pair of Windforce Catchfors H/P 205/55 R16 91V tires and had them installed. They were balanced with ease (15-20 grams). With a good mood, my wife, kids, and I set off on our journey from St. Petersburg to the Black Sea, a 2300 km trip. After getting on the toll road, I realized that the car's behavior had become strange. Up to 90 km/h, everything was normal, but above 90, the car started to wander on the road, and even with the slightest camber, I felt like I wasn't controlling the car, but the wheels were, and I was trying to catch up with them and steer in the right direction. Overtaking was even more of a thrill. Adrenaline could be wiped off the seat afterwards. After arriving at the sea, I went to the service center for a suspension diagnosis. I told them how the car was wandering on the road. They inspected it, found a torn lower arm bushing, replaced it, and did an alignment. They didn't find anything else. I breathed a sigh of relief. I drove and rested with my family. On the way back to St. Petersburg, I felt that nothing had changed in the car's behavior. The same sensations remained. There was no clear "zero," and the wandering persisted. After arriving in St. Petersburg, I made an appointment at Euroauto, telling them that I was afraid of the car, that something was wrong, maybe it was the toe or who knows what. They conducted a diagnosis and condemned the lower arm bushing again, two bushings on the subframe, and the bushings on the rear beam. I replaced everything, not just two, but all six bushings on the subframe. I was satisfied, drove out of the service center, and felt that... nothing had changed. The car was still uncontrollable at speeds over 90 km/h. After googling, I started to suspect the tires, probably due to the too-soft sidewall, which caused such behavior on the road. Yesterday, I put on a new set of winter tires, drove on the highway and the toll road, and was convinced that the problem was with the Windforce Catchfors tires. Now, driving is a pleasure, and I even intentionally tried to find a rut, but the car's behavior is completely predictable. Maybe I just got a faulty set of tires, but I won't recommend Windforce Catchfors to anyone. It's very dangerous and unpredictable tires.
