Tyre reviews Windforce Icepower 576

I first monitored this company on the internet, it has been on the European market for a long time. They mainly supply tires for trucks, but have recently expanded their product line... and started producing tires for passenger cars as well! There are almost no reviews available! I purchased these tires in the spring of 2021, the tires are quite soft and quiet, probably due to the quality of the rubber and the tread pattern! I tested them on snowy slush and on inclines, what can I say!?) I was pleasantly surprised by this tire, I didn't think the quality would be so good.

I will continue to update my review as I use them further...

I bought them more out of curiosity, wanted a budget option and now. And, all in all, I'm completely satisfied with the tires! The only drawback is the noise at speeds above 80, the higher the speed, the louder it hums. Well, and I don't know how critical it is for someone, but the balancing weights reach 90-100 grams. After purchasing, I immediately put them on the car, on the native wheels (R18), accordingly with balancing. The other day, we did a rebalancing (after 7,000 km of mileage) and the difference in weights was within 5-10 grams per wheel.

Stability, grip, aquaplaning, everything is good. As a winter tire, it's very decent for its price!

Purchased for the winter season 2022-2023.

It's too early to review for durability - the mileage is not great, so I put 4.

The rest is just like a gift! I used to drive on Goodyear Ultra Grip Ice Arctic SUV - I was satisfied. It was time to buy a new one, but the price of this tire is 2.5 times more expensive than Windforce Icepower. So, the choice was obvious.))) In the end, I'm thrilled with the purchase!!! So far, the results meet expectations: no noise from the studs (no need to stick the "Ш" sticker) in frost, the effect of "square wheels" is almost absent (at -40, it shakes a bit for the first kilometer, and then it's like summer), the four-wheel drive allows driving on "slick" without problems. When braking, the grip with the road is good, even on frozen asphalt. However, one should not expect excessive miracles: if the road is covered with fresh snow, it's better to keep a distance and slow down on turns (not like in summer, but a little earlier) otherwise it will skid. On ice, of course, it's not like on asphalt, but it's not much inferior to studded tires, it all depends on the ambient temperature. In general, I recommend it for 4WD - the combination of price and quality is top-notch!!!

P.S. I inflate the pressure 0.2 points more than the car's manual, because it's winter, and the directional stability is better.

I purchased four Windforce Icepower UHP 285/60 R18 116T tires for winter. The first impression is positive. The tires are quite elastic, and the movement in the car is comfortable. I haven't driven on snow yet, so I couldn't evaluate it, but I've already skidded on a rural road in zero weather conditions. There are no complaints.

Good tires, drove through the winter in the northern region, both through snowdrifts and on ice, everything is great.

I've installed this tire brand on 3 cars. I'm very satisfied, I've driven a bit, and I don't really keep track of my tires.

I can't identify any drawbacks. So far, everything is fine. I recommend it to my friends.

Good tires, especially in terms of price-quality ratio - are generally Excellent! They hold well on snow, not worse than famous brands. On dry roads, there are minor comments on cross-stability, but they are quite insignificant for a Winter tire.

Excellent tires, even compared to well-known brands, they practically do not concede in anything.
I can't assess the wear resistance, only 1 season, all other parameters are at the top.

I purchased friction tires for a trip from Moscow to Sochi and back in November, i.e. under various climatic and weather conditions: temperature from -6 to +20, rain, snow, dry road. I am currently operating in the challenging winter conditions of 2023-2024 in Moscow and the region: frosts, thaws, heavy snow, ice. All tire characteristics are even and adequate. Compared to studded tires in winter conditions, I have to start, brake, and keep a greater distance more carefully. But the handling is absolutely predictable, without surprises. On the highway, it drives confidently and calmly at 170 km/h. In warm weather, it behaves almost like summer tires, only slightly more skidding in turns. On the Sochi serpentine roads, I didn't experience any problems. I exceeded the speed limit in the rain while turning - there was a controlled slip of the front axle, I braked with ABS, and the grip was restored. In heavy rain, it handles without problems up to 100 km/h, above that, there is a slight aquaplaning in puddles. It's too early to talk about wear resistance - I've driven 5,000 km, and there are no signs of wear. Above 80 km/h, the tires are slightly audible on some surfaces, but it's not annoying.

Overall, I'm satisfied with the tires, they fully suit my purposes and operating mode, and I plan to continue using them.

Bought as the cheapest offer on the market in 20 inches. After installation, I noticed noise after 60 km/h. But there are no questions about asphalt. On snow and ice, it's better than Yokohama on my second car. I had to drive in a terrible snowstorm for 1500 km, surprisingly, the tires withstood it and never let me down. It brakes confidently always, in turns on 4 wheels. Acceleration is excellent. Good cross-country ability, even if you get stuck, you can always drive back.
