Tyre reviews Windforce Catchfors UHP. Страница 8 2245

Ran for a year and 1 month, without winter, in the Moscow region and vibration started after a couple of months after the spring re-tire.
Balancing didn't help, at 130 the visor with the mirror started shaking.
Only the third tire fitting revealed a factory defect - air getting between layers and increased axial vibration of the tire on 3 wheels.
In this store, they were happy to inform me that the warranty had expired.
Ordered a new set of Triangle tires, the tire fitters say they're good.

Tires 255/35/19 I took for ~25,000 rubles. For their money, a very cool set. Balanced with a bang, perfectly hold the road straight at speeds over 250 km/h, do not float. Yes, lateral loads and braking from a standstill play with a squeal, whistle, cry, etc. But for a measured dynamic ride on the highway and in the city, it's an optimal option more than. After 11,000 km, the front wore out by 50% (aggressive braking, the task was to kill this tire), the rear by 20% (from launches).

Potholes, sharp joints pass painfully, but not a single hernia, cuts were found. Well, in general, super!

Even if you change every season, you'll always have fresh tires, almost straight from the oven. I want to try a newer model, which is UHO Pro.

The first thing, the tire is noisy. After 80 km it's very noisy.
Second, even when new, it responded strongly to the rut.
In the first season, these were the only drawbacks.
In the second season, in the heat, the tire became unsteady. In the city after +25, the car floats on any rut or unevenness. On the highway, it throws out of the rut. It's scary to drive. I checked the tire pressure, went to check the wheels alignment. Went to the service.
Result: the tires are to blame. After warming up, they become soft and don't hold the car.
If you have a heavy car, even if the tire confidently exceeds the possible load on it according to the parameters, do not take these tires. It's just a nightmare, how strangely the car has become to drive. And the main thing, from the outside, they look like new.

Good day.
For the first time, I bought Chinese-made tires, I usually tried to take well-known brands, but since the situation in the market has changed, I stopped my choice on windforce catchfors-uhp, I studied reviews for a long time, evaluated, thought, and pondered, and waited until a discount was announced on the tires in February and the decision to purchase was final and irreversible. Moreover, for such a price, the wheel size I needed simply did not exist.
I placed an order on the site, received an invoice, paid.
Literally in 2 days, my order was transferred to the shipping company.
I received the goods without problems, it arrived on time.
In April, I went to the tire service due to weather conditions, the masters said that the tire is good, even, installed and balanced without problems.
I drive on the machine in a mixed cycle, highway/city, in general, I am satisfied, there is no noise, it holds the road, it does not float in puddles.

My first experience with Chinese-made tires was 2 years ago. I decided to update the tires on my Škoda Niva. The choice was made in favor of Ling Long Crosswind A/T100. I drove on these tires from the beginning of May until the white flies appeared. I was very pleased with how they performed both on asphalt and in mud. And that's why when the question of buying summer tires for the YETI 4x4 arose a year ago, I immediately started looking and studying tires from Chinese manufacturers for this model. Not because they are cheaper (having 3 cars, I can afford something more expensive, but why bother?) if there is an opportunity to take something more practical, as they say - "cheap and cheerful". After studying reviews, the choice fell on Windforce Catchfors UHP in size 225/50 ZR17 98W XL. As I wrote earlier, the tire is really very similar to Continental. The tire was used both on asphalt and on dirt roads, in mud after rains on a forest road, and on concrete (it doesn't make noise on joints). In general, the tire is very good, in short, it met all the parameters. Handling on snow and ice - 1 star, as expected))).

I bought these tires in 2023 with the parameters 225/40/19.

What can I say: the tire justifies its price. It's quite quiet, with an average treadwear. Over the season (10,000 km), the wear is around 15%, which suggests that the tires will last for 5 years or 50,000 km with a margin.

In terms of driving qualities, I'd like to mention a slightly increased braking distance, but this may be due to the fact that I switched from 17 to 19-inch wheels and the parameters are slightly larger than the standard ones (225/40 vs 225/35).

Another minus is that you should take the width with a margin. On 8.5J wheels, the 225 width fits with a small margin. Therefore, curb disease is guaranteed.

This year, I decided not to experiment, since the experience was positive, and I took this model again, but already for 18-inch wheels.

In the rain, it behaves quite adequately. The rear axle did slip, but the front didn't. Aquaplaning also passes normally. I wrote about the brakes above - but during emergency braking, it works well.

In general, this is the best for this money. At least it's better than a new Chinese tire, compared to Michelin from the 80s))))

Great tires for their price. I took them for the first time in the spring of 22. Two seasons have passed without any problems, no nails, no punctures, no cuts. Although I've been to many places. Now the third season has started, I've encountered a few nails, but the tread is already small. On average, the mileage per season is 30-40 thousand. The third season is unlikely to pass, one pair has already worn out to the sensor, and the second pair still has a little room to the sensor. I think I'll drive it until summer and buy a new one of the same kind. In terms of noise, it's moderate, I don't drive too fast, the average speed on the highway is 150, the tires handle it well, and in wet weather, they also perform well, there's no aquaplaning, and they hold the course perfectly on water. If compared to Michelin or Pirelli, of course, it loses, but the price is different there.

I also recommended these tires to a friend, he lives in Sochi, drives on summer tires all year round, and his tires wore out completely after 90,000 km.

I definitely recommend buying them to everyone.

Tires are a complete disaster - the whole curve is wrong!!! Decided after two months to buy a new one (replace the most curved one) - only on order. Save your money and don't get misled by flattering reviews!!!

At the time of purchase, there were few reviews on the internet because the tire was new and no one had a chance to thoroughly test it. For me, the main criteria were price and durability. I drive large distances, mostly on highways, and it's easier for me to change tires frequently rather than buying expensive ones and using them to the limit until they're completely worn out. I used to buy Nokian and Continental tires. Honestly? I only felt the difference in price (and it was significant). Would I buy these tires again? Absolutely, yes! I've driven through potholes, puddles, and heavy rain - I have no complaints. I can confidently recommend them for purchase!

So far, I'm satisfied. Soft, quiet. In terms of softness, it's reminiscent of a winter tire) As a result, I don't think it will last very long. The sidewall is soft. When driving over potholes, of course, you need to be careful.

A significant advantage is the low price. Especially for four-wheel drive, where in the event of severe damage to one tire, the entire set will need to be replaced.

My old Bridgestone Turanza lasted over 100,000 kilometers, but compared to the Chinese tires, the tread surface is like plastic. You can't press it with your finger. That's why it lasted a long time, but it was also noisy.

Let's see if it will last at least 50,000 kilometers?
