Tyre reviews Windforce Ice-Spider (Нешип) 123

When purchasing, I noticed that the tire looked deformed, but they installed it without any issues right there at the tire shop on Ogorodnaya 9, the guys did a great job. Then, over the course of three days, I drove 1500 km on these tires in various conditions: ice, snow, asphalt, highway, city - overall, I'd say that the tires are good for their price! I didn't notice any excessive noise, they handle the road well, and they're soft!

I bought them for winter in a southern city, where it's mostly wet with temperatures around 1-2 degrees, but there were 2 weeks of snow and I was very pleasantly surprised, although I have nothing to compare it to since this is my first set of winter tires. The handling on icy crust in the morning after thawed snow is excellent, every time I enter a turn I expect it to skid, but every time the turn passes perfectly. I had no problems getting out of snowdrifts after a night's parking. The only downside is that they are very noisy, and even too soft, it always feels like they are underinflated, but apparently, this is what provides good handling and traction due to the larger contact area.

I bought the tires in October 2024, they were shipped quickly, the only downside was that when I requested the year of manufacture, the manager said it was 2023, but in fact, I received tires from 2022. When I received them, I noticed that they looked visually narrower than my summer tires, although they have the same size parameters - 225/60 R17, apparently, they were deformed during storage and have a narrower tread "footprint". At the tire shop, they had to "stretch" them onto the rim and also noticed that they didn't quite match the width, as a result, they "inflated" the tires to make them fit, it helped, they were balanced very well, moderately soft, not very noisy, I've driven on ice, conclusion: braking and starting are very confident. I previously had Yokohama Ice Guard IG50, I don't see any difference so far.

I received them at your store (unfortunately, I trusted and didn't inspect them at the time of purchase) - deformed due to improper storage. Additional effort on tire mounting and secondary balancing after mileage ((( Most likely, I won't come to you for a purchase again (((

I was looking for a replacement for Hakkapeliitta R5, which I didn't like at all - the car seemed to be floating, unlike Viatti Brina, which I had before and held well in any weather and on any surface. Windforce is almost as good. I choose non-studded tires in principle, since I spend the vast majority of time on asphalt. So far, I've managed to drive about 1.5 thousand kilometers in a week. I chose them specifically with wide grooves and an "aggressive" tread pattern. I live in the Moscow region, closer to nature. The tires pleased me with good grip on deep snow (under which there was also ice). It handles puddles on the road with ease - as long as they're fresh, I don't feel any aquaplaning at all - yesterday on Novaya Riga I caught 110-115 km/h and didn't even feel it. On pure ice, of course, the situation is a bit worse, but not critically. But on these days when the roads were like a skating rink in the evenings after rain and thaw, I felt confident grip. In terms of noise, it's quite comfortable, no louder or quieter than many others. But there's definitely no hum! Wear resistance, strong frost, and dry asphalt are yet to be tested. For now, I'm giving it a solid four! I'll be ready to recommend them if nothing seriously changes in their behavior by the end of winter.

Decent tires, hold the road, not very good on ice, like any non-studded tire, they handle Shuga well. Normally for reasonable money

On asphalt, the tire is very noisy, hums like a bearing, on ice it's also 3, but it goes well on snow and brakes well. The rubber is soft.

I purchased these tires in 2022. 2 tires, on the front axle, have traveled about 30,000 km, but due to my driving style and a slight issue with the camber/toe, they have worn out completely. On the rear axle, with a mileage of over 53,000 km, more than 5-5.5 mm of the 9 mm tread remains. At the same time, the rubber is quite soft and holds the road perfectly at subzero temperatures. The tread pattern is large, which helps to prevent aquaplaning. Honestly, a couple of times when I thought it was "all over", the tire held its trajectory! As for noise - it doesn't cause any discomfort.

The tires seem not bad at first impression
Only both wheels are already worn out, 185/75 Matador

Mazda 3 BM I've been driving for the second winter, very soft tires, completely quiet, it's very pleasant to drive on asphalt. The road holding is excellent, it drives even better on snow, and on ice it grips without slipping. I needed exactly this size (to make the car higher) and I chose exactly winter tires without studs for the city, and I don't regret it at all. Driving is a pleasure.

The only downside is that the tire has a very hard sidewall, which is why the inner diameter is strongly pulled inward. To install on rims, each wheel had to be inflated. And what a surprise it was before the second winter, that all 4 wheels had to be inflated again.

They came like that, as if deformed - shrunk.
