Winter is coming, and this means that the issue of choosing winter tires for Sobol 4x4 is becoming the most relevant. We present an overview of tires for driving on snow and ice in the standard "sable" dimension 225/75 R16.

Of course, the choice of tires should begin with determining the conditions under which Sobol 4x4 will be operated in winter. Therefore, in our review, we presented Winter tires, as they say, “for every taste and color” - designed for completely different operating conditions: common and less, interesting and not very, expensive and relatively affordable models - and their features ... Yes, and one more thing: we focused on tires of dimension 225/75 R16, that is, those tires that rely on the absolutely standard Sable 4x4.

Also here are the opinions (regarding winter tires and their operating experience) of some owners of all-wheel drive Sobols.
In the comments you can write your opinion on the choice of winter tires and your experience in their operation. We think your advice will be useful to someone.

Studded tires

Studded tires are, in most cases, basic tires for some regions of Russia. Such tires perform well when operating on uncleared roads and ice crust at temperatures from +7 to -20ºС.

In addition to excellent grip on an icy track, high-quality studded tires are characterized by a lower degree of wear due to the greater rigidity of the rubber.

Estimated cost (for 1 tire) - 12,450 rubles.

studded tire Nokian Hakka The peliitta 8 SUV from the inventor of winter tires uses absolute innovation to withstand the extreme conditions of the northern winter. The Nokian Eco Stud 8 Concept stud technology incorporates a new generation anchor stud for comfort and confident traction on ice and snow.

Unique sidewall wear resistance is provided by the tire construction reinforced with aramid fibers.

These tires have won more than one victory in many tests conducted by automotive publications around the world. Of course, they are created for those drivers who do not compromise on road safety.

Excellent, reliable traction in winter conditions, directional stability and excellent handling, acoustic comfort - this is perhaps one of the main advantages Nokian Hakkapeliitta 8. Perhaps the disadvantage of this tire is its high price.

Estimated cost (for 1 tire) - 10,280 rubles.

The Nokian Hakkapeliitta C3 studded tires are designed for professional vehicles – they are more durable and stable handling is achieved even with heavy loads. In addition to the balanced winter grip of the Hakkapeliitta, the Nokian Hakkapeliitta C3 offers greater reliability and lower rolling resistance, as well as excellent handling throughout its life.

Estimated cost (for 1 tire) - 9,710 rubles.

Designed for use on heavy 4x4 SUVs in demanding conditions, this durable winter tire combines excellent grip and high handling. The owners of these tires will be pleased with the accuracy and sensitive control of the car, both on icy and snowy roads.

In addition to excellent grip, this model has high strength, durability and exceptional wear resistance, because the pack of belts of this tire contains 60% more steel than passenger car tires.

Estimated cost (for 1 tire) - 9,379 rubles.

Tires Continental IceContact 2 SUV launched by the beginning winter season 2015, designed for operation on off-road vehicles that need maximum grip in winter conditions. German engineers in this tire managed to significantly improve the level of handling on a dry road surface by 9%, and on ice - by 2%. Also, this model guarantees reliable handling in snowy areas. Another advantage of the tire is an 8% increase in braking and traction properties on an icy surface. New rubber compound Black Magic allows the tire to remain flexible at minimum temperatures, which guarantees maximum traction.

Excellent handling and traction on snow and dry roads provided the tire asymmetrical pattern tread with functional distribution of zones. The tread shoulders guarantee optimal stability when maneuvering and cornering, while the tread elements in the middle zone provide excellent traction when accelerating and excellent grip when braking.

The innovative “Kristall stud” stud with a multifaceted core has become much lighter than all its predecessors. Thanks to this, the number of studs in the tread has increased, and in the larger sizes of this model there are half as many. latest technology fixation of the studs minimized the likelihood of them pulling out of the tread while driving, as the fastening strength increased by 4 times!

Around each spike there are special pockets for the removal of ice chips, which improves braking performance at emergency braking on icy surfaces. Studding features also lie in the fact that each stud is in contact with ice untouched by other studs, increasing the traction and grip properties of the tire. An additional benefit of the reduced size and weight of the studs was the reduction in noise levels.

Estimated cost (for 1 tire) - 7,010 rubles.

Tires Nokian Nordman 7 SUVs are designed for passenger cars off-road.
For this tire model, the V-shaped design of the symmetrical directional tread pattern was taken from the popular Nokian Hakkapiilitta tires. The peculiarity of the V-shaped tread pattern is the uniform distribution of the load over the entire contact area, where grip is provided by a large number of sharp edges. Thanks to this particular solution, this model has good grip on snowy and icy surfaces. And the use of special components and refined oils in the composition of the rubber compound gives the tire tread elasticity when low temperatures.

As with other winter tires Nokian, this model uses the Bear Claw technology previously used in Nokian Hakkapeliitta tires, which provides excellent stud grip in all directions (both longitudinal and lateral grip). At the same time, the spike is installed on a special shock-absorbing pad (Eco Stud System), which prevents deformation that occurs when the tire comes into contact with a hard surface.

This model has a very attractive price-quality ratio.

Estimated cost (for 1 tire) - 6,600 rubles.

studded Hankook tire The RW11 Winter I Pike was new for the 2013 winter season. It is designed for SUVs and crossovers, and is also suitable for light trucks and commercial vehicles.

This tire showed good braking and traction characteristics. Compared to other tires in this segment, this tire has an 8% larger contact patch with the road, which undoubtedly improves braking performance on snowy and icy roads.

FRICTION (NON-STUD) TIRES

Friction winter tires (NOT studded tires, or, as they are also called, “Velcro”) show themselves better (as opposed to studded):

1. on cleared roads, including when driving through mud caused by the use of special reagents;
2. on ice at temperatures below -20ºС - in such conditions, the ice crust becomes so hard that the spikes are not able to break through it;
3. when driving on loose snow.

In such conditions of operation of the car, frictional winter tires are more suitable. In addition, it is worth choosing this type of tire if you plan to travel to some EU countries - in most countries of Central and Eastern Europe, the use of studded tires is prohibited, since it destroys the roadway.

Estimated cost (for 1 tire) - 10,000 rubles.

New universal friction Nokian tire The Hakkapeliitta CR3 is designed for winter use in delivery vans and vans, offering reliable grip and comfort. Along with extremely low rolling resistance, the tire offers good handling on icy, snowy and wet roads. It has excellent wear resistance and economy.

Estimated cost (for 1 tire) - 8,026 rubles.

This tire model was developed specifically for powerful high-speed crossovers. So, a special tread pattern for Michelin Latitude The Alpin 2 has been developed in close collaboration with Porsche. Thanks to this tread pattern, the tire demonstrates excellent traction and grip on the road. But it should be noted that the tire is intended for mild winters.

Estimated cost (for 1 tire) - 8,020 rubles.

Bridgestone Blizzak DM-V2 is a 2014 winter studless tire model year. Bridgestone tires Blizzak DM-V2 are designed for use on SUVs and crossovers.

The developers of this tire assure that the Blizzak DM-V2 is specially designed for harsh winters, and the main advantage of this tire is good contact with the road in winter conditions.

This tire model uses a new rubber compound and the patented Multi-Cell Compound technology - the use of small longitudinal grooves in the tread, the task of which is to drain the contact patch, removing water microfilm from the ice surface.

Estimated cost (for 1 tire) - 7,020 rubles.

The tires use the latest rubber compound with silicone to maintain the elasticity of the tread at low temperatures.
Sophisticated groove geometry, directional pattern with optimized sipe geometry are designed not to be afraid of snowy and wet roads, improve grip and high-speed cornering.

GAZ commercial vehicles leave the factory gates with 185/75R16C tires. At the same time, the plant allows for the use of another dimension - 215 / 65R16C. Is it worth changing shoes, Sergey Mishin found out, (author's expressions left unchanged).

How will the characteristics of the car change when switching to fashionable wide tires? The experts mistook the standard model "Barguzin" for a "stove" and they repelled from it, considering other tires. First of all, domestic, from Sibur; he recently had a new product - Cordiant Business CS-501. The company will be revived by the latest developments of foreign manufacturers, the most active in Russian market: Continental Vanco 2, Michelin Agilis and Nokian Hakka C.

The load capacity of all tires is the same - index 109/107, with the exception of a more modest size “stove”, which has a slightly smaller one - 104/102. Recall that the first number means the load capacity with single wheels, the second - with dual wheels.

Here is the first advantage of switching to wider tires - the load capacity increases in the 4-wheel version by 520 kg, in the 6-wheel version by 760 kg. This does not mean that more can be loaded into the car, but tires with a higher load capacity are not so afraid of potholes.

Due to the "light-truck" specifics of tires, the magazine's experts abandoned the placement of seats in favor of identifying the features of each tire and their preference for trucks or cars.

The carrier was a technician - "Sobol"

The technician showed obvious displeasure when trying to make her a tester. The only exercise she didn't resist was running out. Even such an ordinary test as braking on the Sobol turned out to be very difficult. The combination of an excessively large effort on the pedals with very low information content does not allow you to clearly set the intensity of braking: the pedal continues to fail, requiring compression. Seems like brake hoses bloated.

Now - actually tests. The magazine's experts were skidding and on the verge of blocking, achieving maximum deceleration. An important property of commercial tires is their ease of rolling, which affects fuel consumption. Its experts determined run-outs from a speed of 50 km/h (typical for the city) and in the range of 100-80 km/h (traffic outside the city).

Instead of the hard 12-meter rearrangement usually adopted in tests to assess handling, the experts performed cornering of various curvatures and configurations.

The Vershina Vershina Testing Center in Yaroslavl helped to assess the quality of tire manufacturing, which conducted studies for compliance with the requirements of GOST 25692-83 and GOST 4754-97. The results of bench tests are given in a separate table. It is gratifying that all tested tires meet the requirements of Russian standards.

The uniformity of tire wear depends on the degree of imbalance, radial and lateral runout. Changes in the radial and lateral forces, power inhomogeneity of the carcass, including the cone effect, affect stability and controllability. The bead shear force characterizes the ability of the tire to keep from breaking apart when performing sharp maneuvers. The maximum speed at which the destruction of tires occurs indirectly shows the reliability of their design (margin of safety).

When braking on the verge of blocking, the car nods deeply, which causes the rear wheels to almost lift off the ground and begin to block before the front wheels, which bear the entire load. Skid braking is not easier: in order to lock all the wheels sharply and at the same time, the driver will have to stand up and press the pedal with all his weight! But even then the wheels are blocked with a noticeable delay. That is why the experts simply did not dare to perform such a complex maneuver as a 12-meter rearrangement. The controllability of the car had to be assessed by the behavior in corners of various curvature and configuration.

Place	Tire	Expert opinions
1		Place of manufacture: Poland Load index: 109/107 Speed ​​index: T(190km/h) Tread pattern: asymmetrical Tread Depth: 9.2-9.5mm Shore hardness: 72 units. Tire weight: 13.4 kg Average price: 5900 rubles. On a straight line they liken "Sable" passenger car: good directional stability. clear reactions. In fast corners, the impression is the same - the car is controlled in a passenger way. On a wet road, Sobol retains clear reactions. When overspeeding, the car slides smoothly. When the clutch is restored, small jerks are felt on the steering wheel. They set a record for “dry” braking, surpassing the result of the “stove” by 10.4%. However, on a wet road, the stopping distance increases by 5.2 m - a bit too much! Yuzu on a dry surface slows down remarkably, only slightly inferior to the Finnish tires. They roll well, but Nokian is better here too. Large and medium bumps go well, but a trifle is unpleasantly hard. They roll quietly, but in the tradition of Michelin, they react differently to changes in the quality of the coating. On dirt roads go confidently. Benefits revealed in bench tests: minimal unbalance and force heterogeneity, maximum shear force of the tire bead from the rim shelf.
	+ Best brakes on the verge of skidding on dry surfaces, low rolling resistance, excellent directional stability and easy handling on dry roads. - Reduced grip on wet surfaces, high price.
Preferred for passenger versions. Recommended for good quality roads. Will appeal to those for whom comfort, speed and fuel efficiency are important.
4	Cordiant Business CS	Place of manufacture: Russia Load index: 109/107 Speed ​​index: R (150 km/h) Tread pattern: symmetrical Tread depth: 10.2-10.5mm Shore hardness: 70 units. Tire weight: 15.2 kg Average price: 2600 rubles. The slowest at the maximum. However. 150 km / h for "sables" and "gazelles" is enough. On a straight steering wheel is well understood, the reactions are clear. True, the Sobol walks slightly from side to side, reacting to a side wind. In turns, the behavior is confident, the control is clear. The car clearly follows the intended trajectory. A wet road requires increased attention - the reaction to the actions of the steering wheel becomes sluggish, the car is slightly late with maneuvers. The cornering speed is limited by a small skid, into which the Sobol goes smoothly. Skidding is well corrected by the steering wheel. In dry braking, it gains 1 m from the base tires (5.2%), but on wet it “gives” 2 m (8.9%). Wet road "Cordiant" does not favor. The difference between braking on dry and wet roads is the largest: on the verge of blocking - 6.3 m, skidding -1.8 m. Rolling resistance is the highest. Small irregularities are clearly transmitted, medium ones are well extinguished. They are quite noisy, especially in the range of 60-100 km / h. On the primer, you can only drive in tightness, otherwise, as soon as slippage begins, the car freezes. Benefits identified in bench tests: minimal cone effect, highest overspeed, indicating high carcass strength and good quality manufacturing.
	+ Low price, a large stock of top speed, minimal cone effect. - High noise level, loss of traction and poor handling on wet surfaces.
Preferred for trucks and acceptable for combined versions. Recommended only for paved roads, urban and suburban traffic. Primers are contraindicated.
5		Place of manufacture: Russia Load index: 104/102 Speed ​​index: Q (160 km/h) Tread pattern: symmetrical Tread depth: 9.0-9.2mm Shore Hardness: 69 Tire weight: 10.3 kg Average price: 2300 rubles. Experts took these tires as a starting point set by the factory equipment. They repelled from it, comparing the characteristics of other tires. In a straight line, the Sobol, shod in Barguzin, goes unevenly, swims, and with a side wind it takes a lot to the side. The machine is slow in reactions; when adjusting the course, large steering angles and steering of the rear axle are strained. Therefore, it is not recommended to go through turns too fast. In addition, the car rolls; it feels like the tires are breaking, the front is sliding outward, increasing the turning radius, and rear axle shifts in leaps and bounds. On a wet road, the behavior is preserved: the front actively slides outward, and the rear axle can slip sharply to the side, breaking the car into a skid. Loss of traction occurs abruptly, as does recovery. Dry braking performance is the most modest. On the wet pavement also not a gift: the braking distance increases by 3.3 meters. Run-outs are medium - narrow tires have less rolling resistance. The tires are quite rigid, they clearly transmit all road joints to the body. They make a howling-singing sound, which weakens after 80 km / h. On the primer, they allow you to move confidently in any mode. In terms of workmanship in all nominations, they meet the standards.
