Tyre reviews Windforce Catchfors UHP. Страница 3 2245

Feel heavy on the car, subjectively even heavier than winter tires.

The class of tires for wet handling and economy on the label on the tire is lower than on the mosavtoshina website. Smells like deception. It's strange that no one writes about this. But this is an indicator of the quality and level of tire production. DC in reality, and not SV, as indicated

Handling without revelations. At speeds above 150, there is no directional stability. The car seems to float on the road.

But all this can be tolerated for this price (bought for 4150), if not for the vibration at speeds above 100 km/h. Still, at the tire fitting, the master noticed that the tire seems to "jump" a bit on the disk, even though it was balanced fairly well.

I'll try to rebalance again, maybe they'll settle on the disks and everything will be fine, if not, I'll return them as defective...

I bought tires, and when I was balancing them at the mounting shop, they said the tires were crooked, possibly defective. When driving in the city, there were no problems, but when I got on the highway at a speed of 110, vibration appeared throughout the body. Rebalancing did not help, with 60-70 grams of weight on each wheel. The tires are simply awful, although it's possible that I just got a defective batch. I took them back, and they told me they would send them for examination, but it would take a long time, so I have to wait!!! Now I'm without a car, having to walk! In short, the tires are what they are, and the company is not very customer-oriented!!!

I bought these instead of the worn-out original Pirelli P Zero 255/25. I've been driving them for 3 months, including two long trips of over 10 hours in one direction at an average speed of 120 km/h (max 200).

So far, everything is great, no signs of wear (it would be strange to see wear at 3-5k mileage). Fuel consumption is the same as with 5-year-old Pirelli (I haven't done wheel alignment for a long time, maybe it will get better), noise is the same, and they handle the road just as well (I haven't experienced aquaplaning, although I drove through puddles at high speed).

Once, I had to brake sharply on a wet road from 80 to 10-20 km/h - for the first time in 5 years, the brake pedal sank for a fraction of a second. It's unpleasant, but tolerable - I doubt it's just the tires.

ps I don't know who came up with this review format - it requires filling out all sections, including rating "ice handling" for summer tires. Well, okay, I'll give it a 1.

Having driven around a bit (~1000km), I'll say this: if I were to go back about 5 years, I would have walked past these affordable tires and bought Goodyear or something similar for that price.))) I've read all 500+ reviews of these tires on this site and for myself, I've come to understand that 99% of buyers compromise on the price/quality issue, especially in larger sizes. I agree with many reviewers that the tires "float" a bit at high speeds, are a bit noisy, and so on, but not by much. Overall, you can drive on them and there's nothing super critical about them that I've found, I'll just try to be more careful. 255/55R19. I also want to say that initially, I was looking for AT tires, but I didn't find anything at a reasonable price, so I took what fit the size, based on the price and reviews. And because of this, this review was also influenced by the "aftertaste" of the excellent AT tires from Goodyear, which served me faithfully for 5 years.

Non-uniform tires, balancing did not work out even on a Hunter machine with vibration rolling. After suffering from vibration, I replaced them with others.

The tire is a bit hard, very sensitive to all the bumps - compared to Triangle and Haida (not even feeling the bumps). I didn't like the braking, the longer braking distance. Also, at a speed of 140+ km/h, I don't feel confident grip with the road, as if it's "wobbling".

For the budget cost, it's worth noting the nice design, looks good on the car.

In addition, the fuel efficiency class is D, handling is C, noise level is 72 dB (as indicated on the sticker on the tire itself)

I've driven about 15,000 kilometers on these tires and can already say that on a wet road, the car needs to be controlled, especially if the puddle is deep. The same applies to a dry road - there is no confidence in handling, it feels like the tire is "floating" like jelly. The tire is noisy, but this is noticeable after 100 km/h and the higher the speed, the more noise.
After 15,000 kilometers, there is no wear on the tires, it handles potholes well. Also, fuel consumption has increased slightly. For this price, it's quite normal. You can buy it again, since it does its job.
Wishes for the tires:
- Improve handling on dry asphalt;
- Improve handling on wet asphalt;
- Solve the problem with tire noise;
- Reduce fuel consumption.

Not durable, wears out too quickly compared to previous tires, I really love fast driving on a car and give it some gas. Cheap and cranky. Doesn't hold a wet road well, and brakes poorly. However, on a dry road, the grip is perfect. In principle, the Chinese have got it right, next time I'll also buy Chinese, but only a bit more expensive.

I've driven a season on these tires. I bought them out of curiosity, to see what I'd get by taking the cheapest tire possible. My curiosity has been satisfied. The tire turned out to be almost perfectly round, with minimal runout on the balancing machine, and it gives very little vibration to the steering wheel, almost imperceptible. The weight is within 90 grams, well, what can you expect from Chinese products? The main advantage of the tire is its comfort. On a 40-profile tire, it gives a feeling of riding on 55-profile tires, all thanks to the very soft sidewall, but that's typical of Chinese tires. And this is despite the fact that the tire is supposedly XL with a reinforced sidewall, I can only imagine what it would be like if it weren't XL, although I think in reality it would make no difference, the Chinese just either put these letters on or not, and the tire is the same either way.

In addition to comfort, with such a soft sidewall, of course, the handling is also affected, you won't get any sharpness in steering with this tire, but on the other hand, even on a 40-profile tire, it doesn't feel the road unevenness at all. In the end, I got beautiful low-profile wheels with the comfort of a bubble, and I don't have to strain my hands to keep the car on the road, it doesn't jump out of the lane. The traction, of course, is complete nonsense, and it's not just about turns, I'm not as young as I was 10 years ago, and I don't feel the need to enter a 90-degree turn at 100 km/h, I drive more calmly now, but even with calm driving, I sometimes feel the car being pulled, but it's tolerable, I've gotten used to it and don't worry about it. What I really worry about is that when braking, there's no traction at all, even in ideal summer conditions on perfect asphalt in the sun at 27 degrees Celsius, I've already had one close call, luckily I've lost the habit of driving too close to the car in front of me.

A person in front of me slammed on the brakes when entering a tunnel, and I had to brake hard too, with a lot of fear, I felt like I was flying towards him as if there was snow and ice on the asphalt, but I managed to stop without a collision. So don't count on emergency braking with these tires, you'll crash. I checked the braking on an empty road several times after that, and in general, if you press the brake pedal sharply, even at 50%, my ABS kicks in, the tire just doesn't grip the asphalt, keep that in mind.

I decided to take the Chinese tire Windforce Catchfors UHP 235/50 ZR19 103W XL as a replacement for Hankook's Ventus S1 nooble2. The Hankook has a treadwear of 500, which simply means durability, yes, they will wear out for a long time, but there are also downsides, it's poor road grip. The composition of the rubber technical mixture is mixed in such a way that there are fewer emissions on the road, these tires are also called "eco-friendly".

Let's get back to our Windforce Catchfors UHP 235/50 ZR19 103W XL, they have a treadwear of 280. The tire is quiet, soft, the grip on the road is excellent, and the grip on a wet road is excellent. The noise level of the Chinese tire is TWICE LOWER compared to Hankook.

After the tires arrived at the tire center, I wrote to the manager to find out the production date of the tires, the manager replied quickly, which is a plus and customer-oriented. The only minus of Mosavtoshina is the incorrect indication of the Euro-label data C/B, and in fact, on the tire, it is D/C. Maybe in some size, they go as indicated on the site, but in my size, it's one letter lower.

I signed up for tire mounting, the guys balanced the wheels and put them on the car. Balancing within 50 grams.

I got on the M4 highway, at 150 km/h, there is no vibration (as many write in reviews), the car goes straight, the track is not felt.

In general, I recommend this tire.
