Passenger Car Winter Touring Tyres Tyre Review Highlights

Cordiant Winter Drive rated 82% while driving a BMW 520i
Driving on a combination of roads for 20000 average miles
Im driving cordiant on my 1990 bmw 520i last 7 years, change 3 sets till now, and Im happy, tyres are made for cold weather and snow, under -6 you can feel the difference. Definitely will buy it again.

Nexen Winguard Ice Plus WH43 rated 72% while driving a BMW 318d M Sport Touring (E91)
Driving on mostly country roads for 19000 average miles
Honestly surprised how great the car hooked to the ground, how stable it was even sliding the car trough snow. 3rd season coming in, 30 000km done on the tires more to go for sure because even the compound is still soft as it was the first day I bought. Saw the ICE 3 came out might upgrade to them.

Premiorri ViaMaggiore rated NAN% while driving a Acura MDX
Driving on a combination of roads for 0 miles
These tires were QUIET on the road for the first couple months but developed a really annoying "whine" or "buzz" that increases with speed - most noticeable between 30 and 60 mph - the noise is quite loud up thru 80 but decreases somewhat above that. It was hard to pinpoint its source from inside the car. Raised on a lift and going an indicated 60 mph, and listening underneath it with a stethoscope there is no noise at the hub bearings, transfer assembly, jackshaft bearing, or rear differential unit. I figured it must be a wheel bearing that only shows up with the car's weight on it. So far I've replaced all 4 hub bearing units - with no effect on the noise.

But today I proved it is coming from the Premiorri ViaMaggiore TIRES !! I switch tires and wheels with my other Acura and there is NO NOISE !!

The tire noise is louder than I've ever had - except for some "truck knobbies" I had 50 years ago.

Toyo Observe GSI 5 rated 91% while driving a Ford F 150
Driving on mostly motorways for 25000 average miles
Third set of Toyo Observe. Tyres with nuts (literally). True ice tire. great in snow too. Note: most of us driving on pavement, hard top, motorways NEED ice tyres more than snow. GREAT tyres. note do not drive on these tyres in warm weather (over 6c) the soft compound will wear very quickly and harden - at which point any winter tyre will be useless. Cold weather traction is superior to any other tyre: on hard snow, on icy snow, on shear ice, on icy hard top, on slick frozen pavement. And deep snow traction is great. Good on cold or moderate (up to 6c) dry hard top too. Can last 5 winters or more when change over is before night temps are over 6c. These tyres worth every penny pound cent quid. and much cheaper than any fender bender.
sized owned: 225/75R15; 275/55R20 and 285/60R17.

Laufenn I Fit Ice rated 86% while driving a Volkswagen Golf Mk5 GT TDi 170bhp
Driving on mostly country roads for 4000 average miles
This tyres is on snow/ice road the best for price.
If you have mudy, ice road, they good. When start heat days you should take it off.

Toyo OBSERVE GSI 6 HP rated 44% while driving a Toyota 2019 Avalon
Driving on mostly motorways for 0 easy going miles
The rubber on the inside tread fell completely apart (on one tire) after about 35,000 miles. Tires were rotated every 5,000 mile on a 2019 Toyota Avalon. No reason for this failure other than POOR quality.

Riken Riken Snow rated 73% while driving a Fiat Grande Punto TJet
Driving on mostly town for 5000 average miles
I got a set of Riken Snow in January 2024, and drove about 5000 km on them. I didn't drive too much in deep snow or ice, they seemed fine when driving cautiously on snow/ice. As the weather warmed up, and the roads dried up, I've drove them a bit harder on some twisty mountain roads. They hold up pretty nice, the grip is very good on dry roads, but on wet roads the ABS kicked a few times on harder braking when driving a bit more spirited.

I'm driving a Fiat Grande Punto 1.4 T-jet with about 150 hp. The road feedback feels mushy, and the handling is a bit delayed because of the very soft sidewall, large and soft tread blocks. Their build quality is ok, though I've bought a set of Sailun Atrezzo ZSR 2 for summer, and the Sailuns are a lot better built, the tires look better. I might change the Rikens for some Sailun Atrezzo 4 Seasons for the next winter as in the last years, it's snowing less and less where I live.

My usecase for this tyres is not really what they were made up for, and I imagine for mud, gravel or deeper snow would be really good. Also, they are quite noisy (because of the said soft tread blocks). It's not that annoying though. They offer great value for price, and I would buy them again.

Kleber Krisalp HP3 rated 68% while driving a Audi Audi A6
Driving on a combination of roads for 2000 spirited miles
Good tires for moderate driving in cold conditions, I have taken them in snow and icy mountain drives. The tread pattern is good, I've had no issue with them, they have enough grip, no slipping or sliding when taking off or cornering in snowy conditions, but my car is AWD and I drive carefully in such conditions. In wet conditions tire also perfroms well, fair aquaplaning capability, adequate grip, no issues. Everything is good up to the moment you start driving hard - you can tell these tires are not meant for speed. I only push my AWD car in dry conditions and let me tell you I was sliding all over the place, also weak braking capability. I dont want to imagine driving this tire hard in cold conditions. JUST DONT DRIVE HARD AND YOU WONT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS.

Driving on a combination of roads for 43500 spirited miles
I have used 205/55/16 on Golf 5 for 4.5 years and 70.000km all seasons! Never changed them in those 4.5yars

Tires are good up till this day and I'm about to replace them with the same type!

Driving on mostly town for 0 miles
The worst tires I've ever had. I've only had them for 3 years/max 10k km (only 3 months per year). When it rains, it's like I'm skiing. They make noise when you start, turn, and brake. Not recommended.

Toyo OBSERVE GSI 6 HP rated 100% while driving a Dodge ram 1500
Driving on a combination of roads for 60 spirited miles
The Observe GSI tire has no equal, there may be studded winter tires that outperform them on ice but from a daily driving POV you cannot beat these. Finally had to recycle mine after over 100,000kms. Will buy another set this winter for sure.
