Tyre reviews Windforce Catchfors H/T. Page 4 6306

Good tires in this price category. A bit stiff for Kia Sportage, possibly chose the wrong load index

After purchasing the car, the question arose about replacing the summer tires - the car had been on the tires equipped by the manufacturer 7 years ago, and although the condition of the tread was still quite good, the tires had become uneven. Tires from well-known brands nowadays cost a considerable amount of money. And also, the load index on my car should be at least 104. That's why I turned my attention to the products of the Chinese tire industry. I had previously had experience using tires from China, and to be honest, the experience was contradictory. I decided to buy the cheapest ones, so that the disappointment from the purchase would not be strong, in case the tires did not suit me, and on the contrary, the joy would be great from acquiring good tires for little money…

23 thousand for a set of four wheels 235/60 R17 is a definite plus for these tires.

The re-tiring process went without incident, dressed and balanced without problems. It does not disturb with noise. The handling is predictable. Not suitable for extreme driving, but overall a good tire. You can buy it!

I was choosing among Chinese options. In the final, I chose between Windforce and Triangle, giving preference to the first one. With all else being equal, my priorities were acoustic comfort and behavior on wet roads (aquaplaning). This season, I've already driven over 8,000 km on Windforce tires: Moscow, the Moscow region, and a trip to Brest. I haven't driven off-road.

What impressed me the most is that the tire is very quiet, I would say it exceeded my expectations, possibly due to the effect of my previous stock Bridgestone tires. It was easy to balance. I liked the stability and handling in turns, the behavior in the rain, and the predictability of its behavior. As for wear resistance, it's too early to say, but for now, I don't see any visible signs of wear.

Tires are a complete failure. At speeds from 110, the steering wheel starts to vibrate! The car is swaying. Didn't accelerate further, it's scary. Had balancing done 2 times, zero result. The vibration is the same. Really regret it, would have been better to pay more and buy slightly more expensive ones.

Purchased a set of 4. On flat disks, the balance was up to 80 grams. All wheels have radial runout, it's impossible to drive. I put the old tires back on. I'm waiting for the results of the check for compliance with GOST. I will add to the review based on the results.

Poor tire, barely wore on the disk, had to blow up the tires to stretch, so one of the 4 tires is crooked, imbalance on the disk 180 grams

Before that, I drove a jeep and bought an all-season Chinese no-name tire, which I purchased by chance, actually in Novorossiysk, after Europeans, they behaved not badly and the noise, handling, and balancing were done once. I gained courage and decided to buy a Chinese summer tire for my Bolivar, 285/60/18, and that's when the trouble started, vibration at 120, balanced three times, no use, previously I drove on Nokian winter tires, no problems, the car handled great at 140, so I rule out the car, it's the tires... Now, about the tires, they are noisy, can't be balanced, can't handle on wet asphalt, I won't say anything about wear, the office sends me for another balancing, in short, it's crap..., in short, it's better to pay extra and buy normal tires...

Norm "tires", immediately after the first rides, was pleasantly surprised by its softness. A couple of months have already been driven, there are no complaints, it satisfies quite well. In terms of balance, within the normal range, no extra measures need to be taken.

Ran the season - in principle, everything is fine, holds the road well both in rain and dry weather, wear is about 1mm, the car tilts a bit in turns, like on Michelin, roughly. There was an incident on the MKAD - the tire blew out straight away. But after the examination, they said that I ran over something. In general, for this money, normal tires

In the summer at a temperature of around +30, they whistle in turns.

They are prone to aquaplaning. In the rut, they scrub. When turning on wet asphalt or when one of the wheels hits a section with poor traction (sand is poured), they skidded into a skid. All this turned out to be an extremely unpleasant surprise after the advertising promises on the manufacturer's and seller's websites.
