Imperial Snowdragon 3

There are many positive opinions about this tire in the internet. I suspect that the authors may be people who did not use much more expensive, top models (the top model is not necessarily the top brand, though usually). Well, after converting summer tires (Dunlop Sport Maxx RT 245/40/18 - supposedly one of the quietest) for winter one, you could notice two meaningful changes: very quiet performance and quite dangerous behavior of the car in the usual, but dynamic driving. The sport suspension does not hide tire defects so the differences were immediately noticeable for me without any extreme testing. Immediately after shifting the wheels, so in identical conditions (dry surface, about 10 degrees) the braking distance increased by 50%. With decisive, but not cracking curves, the car buckled like damaged sleeves and was carried outside. On a wet surface, the braking distance is also longer than on summer tires, although not so drastically. However, there is a low aquaplaning tendency. I had no experience with snow - this year it will not be much better. The tyre could not be perfectly balanced even after 3 balancing. At frequent speed of 50-60 mph, rumbling is heard.

Der Reifen ist billig, vielleicht den Preis wert, aber ich kann es nicht empfehlen. Auf trockenen Oberflächen funktioniert es richtig für den Preis. Auf einer nassen Oberfläche jedoch, ein wenig wie ein Karussell, ist es besser, um alles zu bleiben. Der Reifen hat im nassen Zustand einen sehr schlechten Halt, und ich werde nicht den Bremsweg erwähnen, an dem er gerade fließt. Ich hatte nicht die Gelegenheit, auf Schnee zu testen, aber in Sachen Schlamm ist es sehr schlecht für das, was nicht gut ist. Der Reifen ist sehr laut - vielleicht ist es in dieser Klasse okay, aber es ist eine Katastrophe für mich. Er rühmt sich gnadenlos. Im Hinblick auf den Rollwiderstand bin ich auch unzufrieden, weil der durchschnittliche Autoverbrauch um 1 Liter / 100 km gestiegen ist. Wenn sich jemand um einen sehr niedrigen Preis und ein Aussehen kümmert, dem es an nichts fehlt, aber nicht auf ihre Sicherheit und andere Verkehrsteilnehmer schaut, dann mutig kaufen. Ich werde es nicht zum zweiten Mal kaufen, weil das Leben immer noch sehr nett zu mir ist. In dieser Situation ist es gerechtfertigt, zu sagen, dass Schlauheit 2x verloren geht. Read more Collapse

A year earlier I had a 4 year old winter tyre Dunlop SP Winter Sport 3D and there was a tread wear rated of about 40%. This year I bought the Imperial Snowdragon 3 tyres, but new. Sensation is completely different. These do not make any noise, these're soft, car drives through deep snow perfectly. The only drawback may be the wet pavement after a rain is you drive with a stronger, more aggressive style. A quiet trip is approx. I think it is not worth an explicit x3 or x4 for the price, in order to have a string of Dunlop or Michelin. Winter tyres certainly should be changed approximately every four years because the rubber hardens. In my opinion it's better to buy new cheaper tyres than used high-performance tyres. And you have to know that this is not some kind of no name Chinese tyre. Imperials are products of Deldo, only Belgian manufacturer. Read more Collapse

I enjoy quite aggressive driving style, but also comfort. I do not have a sports jam or conducting scientific research on the tyres. I rate the tyre as a user relative to my experiences with others, competitive. Well, I think that to have just a little better driving experience you must spend a lot of money on the tyres. Tyres well grip to wet surfaces. 2x more expensive Dunlop which I used until recently (245/40/18) weren't much better. Both were good wile cornering on wet roads and are noticeably quiet. Durability is difficult to assess - I had too little time to do so. Just on these tyres be careful with the gas in the wet corners. Even with a 4-wheel drive I can reach the bend the way much more expensive tyres do. I was able to easily overcome the ned for expensive tyres. I'm happy with these. Read more Collapse

I bought these tyres to test them. In the winter season I passed about 4 thousand miles on them. I have rather dynamic driving style. Their behave on snow is fine about what I have no objections. On dry roads i also couldn't see anything that would be an issue. On a wet surface that wasn't so good. I know that winter tyres does not like water, but the tyre on a wet jet fatal. Continuous slippage, losing traction with the addition of gas, it was a defeat. As I wrote before I made about 4 thousand miles and on each tyre there was a 4 mm tread left. This is a bad result. I don't think the fault was of the car because on the previous Dayton DW510 I made about 40 thousand km and were not as badly worn like these. That may be due to the softer rubber compound.

Tyre excess of some of the so-called top shelf tyres. It's quiet, has good wet grip and the traction in fine and in wen in dry weather. Well done in the snow as well as on the glacial surface of the road. I use rather dynamic driving techniques and these tires have not failed me. I would recommend them to anyone who wants to have good equipment to drive but for a little money! I met laughter out of pity from some people that the car is such class and the tyres are some kind of worse production, but they have to be confronted, because such talk is testifying to their ignorance of the subject, and even jealousy that you can buy something good for a good price. I can only recommend these tyres. . Nothing will convince snobs! Read more Collapse

I drove whole winter with these tyres, actually this winter was gentle, and there were only few snowy days, but the tyres were doing well. I was surprised by the performance of the tyres on dry road, where it was possible to drove without any fear of losing control. On wet surface - so, so, but with a normal style of driving it is enough.I don’t know how much tyre tread was, when the tyres were new, nevertheless I measured it before changing to summer ones and it has been around 6.7mm after driving 5 000 miles, so treaces of wear can be visible. I would recommend for people with low budget, who wants to buy a new tyres like me, hehe: D It is not worth to overpay !!!! Read more Collapse

I highly recommend - mainly through the price / quality ratio, which I assess on high level. I evaluated the failure really well - it should be mentioned here that the only one failure occured so far in my case, after hitting a screwdriver that drove me into the tread – tire has been patched and goes on. From the 2nd perspective - the failure did not result from the tire itself, but from a random accident ... but still it occurred. To sum up - maybe the tyre doesn’t look really incredible, but they are at least 3 times cheaper than the ones, which look amazing. The parameters according to my opinion are good – the tyres will be with me at least 2 seasons:-). Read more Collapse

Tires meet the basic assumptions for winter tires, they hold well on the curves, both on wet and dry surfaces, there are no situations in which the car would slip at low speeds on difficult surfaces. You can be a bit dissatisfied with the noise result (over 75 mph are quite loud) and T rolling resistance, which affects combustion. In summary, for such money (less than 75 GBP for a set of tires), these are very good tyres that work in winter conditions, I would recommend them to people who travel a lot with highways, and roads with a limit of 50 mph as well as people who do not do more than 1500 miles in the winter season due to increased combustion.

I was afraid of buying „Dragon” but after getting acquainted with the opinions of users I took a risk. I thought the Imperial tyres should be still better than used high performance ones". After 5-month period of use, I think it was a great purchase. They also worked perfectly in deep snow in the mountains - the car pulled up a steep uphill. I would add that I was very afraid of the test in the mountains because the car has automatic transmission - but the car was driving like a tank in the snow. I am not an amateur, I drive a car since 1991 , passing an averagly of 800-1200 miles per month (a dozen sets of tires have already been used by me). Read more Collapse

These are my first Imperial (economy class) tyres, but I am very positively surprised by their good properties. I use them mainly in the city - especially in winter, but here also there are situations on the edge, which allows you to form your opinion about the tyres. I braked sharply in the city many times this season and the ABS system didn’t turn on even once, which could indicate that there is no grip on the winter road. But also when entering into sharp curves, the car has constant contact with the surface. To sum up: the price / quality ratio is very good in this case. Read more Collapse

I have drove with these tyres about 17 000 miles and there is a slight trace of tread wear on the front axle (visible about 1.0mm). The tiyes perform well on both dry and wet surfaces. They behave worse on slush but the ride on snowy roads gives both comfort and good grip. They are quiet even driving fast. The most important thing for me - economics is great. Fuel consumption practically did not increase. As for me, a revelation. I made the purchase decision, among others, after the opinions of customers from OPONEO - Fast and efficient delivery. I would recommend. Read more Collapse

I was afraid of buying a tyre, which brand name did not tell me anything. (bought in the middle of the winter season), but the car on these tyres is great on the road, both dry and snowy. I passed with them on a trip to the mountains, and I found myself in heavy snowstorms and I cannot find any complaints about the possibility of going under a big drop on the snow. I do not associate the experience with ice or simply did not notice it because the car was fully controllable. I definitely recommend it after using for half of the winter season. Read more Collapse

Hello, I bought Imperial tyres in the belief, that in the worst case, I will throw them after one season and I will buy brand used tyres from "grandfather from Germany who only goes to church": D After traveling 4000 miles I found that I am pleasantly surprised by the durability of the tyre, the car keep the road perfectly, the tyres are quiet and did not cause any problem. I am pleasantly surprised by the quality. I bought a summer version from now, we'll see if it's as good as winter one. Read more Collapse

This is my first winter tires in 19 inch size.The premium class tyres are very expensive in this size thats way decided to buy Imperial tyres at all. I drove on this tyres over six months and I have done about 13000 miles and though winter was not aggressive I can still recommend this tyre to anyone who do not want to spend a lot of money on tyres from the top shelf. The tyre work very well on dry roads bit less in wet condition but is still not bad. Good value for money. I recommend. Read more Collapse

I bought Imperial tyres before the winter season. Honestly, I thought that they would last one season just like the second hand tyres of better brands but after driving 4000 miles certify that I am nice surprised durability of the tyres. The car hold to the road, the tyres are quiet and not caused me any problem. I am really surprised by the quality. I m gonna buy another set of Imperial tyres for summer and ll see whether it will be as good as the winter one. I do recommend! Read more Collapse

I would recommend these tyres everyone. Especially for people who have a tight budget and don’t want to spend a lot of money. Whether snow, ice, dry or wet road with the tires I felt always on the safe side. He might be a bit noisy but that did not bother me. The tyres have now the second season and the trace of treads are hardly visible. I drive a month 1500 - 2000 miles and I can only say .... THUMBS UP. ....... Read more Collapse

I bought these tires with a little fear, I did not know this brand well. But now that winter has arrived (also in the mountains) I can certainly recommend it to others. If you drive qently (not rally) then such gums will definitely serve for several nice seasons, and the price for sure for such quality is good and I can recommend it with all certainty.

Hi. I was afraid before I placed the order for Imperial winter tyres becouse I didnt know too much about this company but I nice suprised. I drove on this tyres in mountain on wet and snow roads, highways and city streets without any problems. I am very happy with my choice and next year propably I will buy the summer version of Imperial tyres.. Read more Collapse

For this price you should not expect miracles from a tyre. Although they behave sensational on snow and mud. The worst part is rain and wet road, tyres lose traction when moving or on tight turns. I used them for a long time, and they have never let me down. If someone drives low and do not want to overpay, I definately recommend these tyres:) Read more Collapse

Tires at this price are quite good, I emphasize that these are some of the cheapest tyres on the market and I certainly prefer to buy new Chinese tyres and change them after two years than buy some 5 years old tyres for similar amount of money. The tyres performed better than the four-years Fulda, which cost more than two sets of Imperials. Read more Collapse

Unfortunately, I was tempted by the price and opinions of other users, but the reality is completely different. The tyre, especially on curves, has poor traction. The car floats as if there were no pressure in the tires and the traction control lights up too often. Saved money but greedy looses more and now I have to change for other one. Read more Collapse

I have used Imperial tyres during my trip from italy to Austia. I have traveled around 3000 miles and they are still looks like brand new. I am a customer of the Oponeo online shop since 4 years and I have never been disappointed. I will use them again when I will need new set of summer tyre next year. I do recommend to all drivers! Read more Collapse

I was afraid of buying, but because I wanted to sell my car I did not want to invest too much in (branded) tires. I have traveled over 4 000 miles practically in all conditions and I am pleasantly surprised, the only drawback is a slight vibration when driving on an even straight road. Read more Collapse

Good value for the money, one of the cheapest tyre you can get but with properties from middle shelf. Not perfect when is warm on wet surface but sti. Read more Collapse

Tire in dry conditions behaves correctly, it is not great, but somehow it is not very bad. the wet hard button to start without wheel spin. the snow must be very careful. after a light rain on the S8 at 215 km / h with the liquid cornering all 4 tires started to uslizgiwac. I do not recommend buying these tires, the quality is up for the price. We pay very little and very little certainty and safety get. Bury! Read more Collapse

The rain seemed to have the winter pattini.ici are obb Where I come from, winter tires are mandatory and are useless. I picked these because they were cheap, but really I could not wait to replace my usual rubber tires I find that the requirement for winter tires is criminal, it snows here once every four years, I can not mount chains and lose grip on wet madness Read more Collapse

I only bought 2 tires mounted on the front axle. Nokian on the back. The latter, when mounted on both axles were noisier, less comfortable, and - perhaps - just a little more precise on wet / slippery surfaces. But the price difference makes the Imperial unbeatable in the price / performance ratio. Read more Collapse

I recommend tires of this company, as for the price it is really worth it, there were no problems when balancing, as well as during use. On a snowy road, going uphill without any problem. I can recommend them to everyone for ordinary use, but also for a light "fantasy" will suffice. Read more Collapse

An excellent choice! I have been hesitating for a long time to buy tires for a less-known company, but after using them for two seasons, I can safely recommend them to everyone. The tires are still in great condition! If I had to buy tires again, I would certainly choose the same 😁. Read more Collapse

I drove on these tires all winter and all around tires. Although they are very cheap the quality is good. As I was betting on them in the workshop they were terrified that you can buy a cheap tires on the internet. Know, I do not I will tear at me a second behind the tire. Read more Collapse

I really recommend it because the tires were perfect for the route as well as the city. I have never had problems with them, they do not beat, they do not sound, there were no problems with balancing. Also a 100% product to recommend. Certainly a summer pile like this. Read more Collapse

I had concerns before buying, but because of the desire car sales did not want to invest too expensive (brand) tires. I drove over 5 tys.km in virtually all conditions and I am pleasantly surprised, the only drawback is a slight vibration when driving on a level road. Read more Collapse

tyres cool, whizzing up nicely. The Snow is true he was not much, but probably stick to the road very well exercise on the wet pavement, ice and dry. I recommend these for a small price of donuts pretty good quality. Already I look for summer tires. Read more Collapse

Tires look very good, nicely arranged in August on the rim (235/40/18) if someone is able to endure the noise occurs mainly when braking is a great choice. Another pile of winter tires also SnowDragony why overpay and buy drugs 3-4 years !!! Read more Collapse

He drives in well, just on the highway at a speed of 130km / h, the steering wheel begins to shake slightly. I do not know whether to blame for balancing the tires Fulda summer but does not have this trouble. We'll see in the next winter Read more Collapse

The city - sometimes a freeway - is quite enough for an ordinary daily drive. They keep well in the snow, a little worse on icy surfaces, while on a dry surface without accusations. Really solid tires and for the rating worth recommending. Read more Collapse
