Tyre reviews Windforce Catchfors UHP. Page 5 2252
- Rate
Out of four tires, only one is even, the others are like an "eight". When the speed is over 60, there is a noticeable vibration.

I've been driving for the first season, with a current mileage of over 4 thousand. There are no problems, no discomfort, everything is normal.
Previously, I had factory-installed Matador tires, and in comparison, these seem to handle better on wet roads.
The price, possibly, is even lower than that of similar economy tires from our manufacturers. The quality is no worse, but to understand this more accurately, years of operation are needed.
It seems that soon everyone will switch to Chinese cars, just like everyone switched to Chinese smartphones earlier. And then the price of "Chinese products" will start to rise, so there's no point in doing worse than everyone else now.
In short, you can buy these if your budget is limited.- Vehicle:

Definitely a strong competitor to well-known brands.
I chose these tires primarily because of the price, as competitors have become too expensive. I won't say that these are cheap, but in 2019 I bought Kumho 225/45/18 for similar money, which wore out in 2 seasons of careful driving.
Windforce cost me 19,500 - the lowest price was here, at Mosaavtoshina.
I've driven around 4,000 km on them.
No wear is noticeable, they were balanced perfectly (about 20-30 grams per wheel).
They handle inclines excellently, staying firmly in place on dry and wet asphalt.
The noise level is minimal, considering that my Sonata has almost no sound insulation from the factory.
Braking is nothing unusual, but there's nothing bad about it either.
The exterior looks great in profile, and the tread itself is also excellent.
They have a great appearance.
I would buy them again - definitely.
But I hope they will last longer than the Kumho, which only lasted two seasons.
I would definitely recommend them.
P.S. - 5 stars for winter performance, just so the overall rating isn't underestimated.
4 stars for price justification, as I think they're a bit expensive for a Chinese brand, even though the tires are good.- Vehicle:

235/45/18 balancing is no problem! The first trip on this tire for a long distance and no complaints, just the pleasure of driving.
Stable, quiet and smooth.
Bought for 5790r per tire, the price is super and the tire is great! Take it, you won't regret it.- Vehicle:

I've driven on these tires for one season, so it's hard to see all their advantages and disadvantages yet, but I can highlight some drawbacks:
- after 120 km/h, the cabin becomes noisy. The higher the speed, the more noise in the cabin.
- I can also note the uncertainty on a wet road, when the car hits a puddle, it pulls to the side and there is a need to make adjustments to the steering.
The problem of aquaplaning in the rain does not always occur, but it happens. No signs of wear are visible.
I give a score of four for driving on a wet road, and three for noise. Overall - I recommend.- Vehicle:

I can't say anything particularly bad about the tire, but prior to this, I had Jinyu tires which performed significantly better (they can even be compared to Michelin).
As for Windforce, I can note the aquaplaning. When entering a puddle at a speed of about 70 km/h, the car starts to pull to the side and you need to countersteer.
I'll repeat again - this didn't happen with Jinyu. In principle, for the given amount, the tire is normal.
In size 205/55 R16, it's installed on a Hyundai Sonata.- Vehicle:

I chose them for their price.
I have nothing bad to say about the tires - I liked everything about them. They cost me 9,000 rubles at the time, while the same Nokian cost 19,000 rubles. And now they're even more expensive.
Nokian had an additional warranty program for sidewall cuts, but in my case, the math was simple: Windforce wins significantly in terms of price, and for that money, you can buy another set.
I'm very surprised by the quality of the tire. I now recommend them to all my friends.
Please produce as many tires as possible and for as long as possible :).- Vehicle:

Tires are cheap, as they say, a miser pays twice. Out of 4 tires, only one was more or less even, at 40-50 km/h vibration starts... I do not recommend, you will regret it just like I do now.

These are not tires, they're hell, boil in a cauldron those who make them and a huge hello to Mosavtoshina, what are you selling, this crap. All 4 tires are crooked, the tread jumps, no balancing will help. When I bought it, there were not many reviews, and they were all generally positive, but then the whole picture became clear. You can't drive over 80, the car shakes like a ***** , it's better to ride on a bald Cord than on this crap. People, don't buy!!!!

Rare crap, at least for GL in 20 radius. I spent money on tires and double tire mounting because this oval egg didn't want to rotate in normal mode as it should for a wheel. As a result, I drove from Moscow to Rostov and threw it to hell. If anyone needs 4 new Chinese wheels, I'll tell you where they are lying in Rostov. Thanks to Mosavtoshina and Chinese business partners for the crappy thing.
