tyres very cool, quiet and comfortable. Very well keep the vehicle in the fresh snow, with wyjeżdżonym zlodowaciałym snow and ice is a lot worse but I suspect that few do better. In the wet I did not notice any problems, I even have the impression that exercise is better than my summer tyres. Even on dry pavement at 20 st in the black goes very well. The only problem is the tyre for driving in mud, but they are not made for this purpose. As for winter tyres is surprising is their strength, they have the third season and probably will drive a fourth. I really recommend it.

Although the winter 06/07 did not give me too much possibilities for tyre testing for the conditions, but for a few snow days were doing great. There is no slip in the mud or buried in the snow. The wet well discharge water (makes a silent whistle - most probably the rejection of water on the outside). For dry quieter than my summer Michelin Energy (shock)! Insufficient drove to talk about wear, but they look like new. I bought after reading local opinion (Kleber Krisalp chose between HP and Fulda) and was not disappointed. I recommend!

Behavior on dry and wet roads judge for the tyres, which was using before. In the case of these tyres did not feel the difference in leading the change from summer Michelin. I see this as a major success of the tyres. On the ice must be handled very gently with the gas and brake, but in the end the tyre is not equipped with studs. The sounds can be heard rolling on the wet asphalt and but only the smooth varieties. It is a gentle swish, and is not a nuisance to the passengers. I think these are good tyres, good viewing in our conditions, and are highly recommended.

A little late to comment but now I have something to write about these tyres, you see: I had a chance to test them in every possible unless winter conditions and when it comes to typical winter conditions, snow and great snow, slush, melt a revolutionary product, car runs perfectly - I had great fun during the heavy snow and driving on a fresh 20 - 25cm of snow. And if we touch the ice so basically it does not matter how much you like these tyres because I have run into a skid it does not matter whether it is a tyre for $ 150 or for 500 zł! In a word, I would recommend!

Paramount price. A dozen times a season, I made a trip to the mountains to ski, I've never felt so confident and secure. When the axes of the deep snow, the compacted and chilled with, auto shows incredible string forward. Chains were used to carry the whole season in the trunk. When other drivers kapitulowali uphill, Winterhawki acted calm and casually pro overcame extreme lengths and for that I love them. Urban conditions, without surprises, the ice rink at the intersections is not strong. Faint and comfortable, my sincere recommendation.

As for traction I have no reservations, is doing very well in dry conditions as well as wet. Very good on compacted snow, but I have to add that only the compacted. I've given up on keeping the tyres in slush as well as the rozjezdzonym snow, it seems to me that it is a very serious weakness, especially with such conditions is by far the Polish climate. Frigo ridden for 2 and now consider going over the other. Do not exaggerate in extolling the tyres, I would say that there is a certain, not sensational but also not bad. I greet

silence, peace and quiet once again, in the end I hear the sound of my engine, p oprostu are great, very comfortable, shock! With this cassette in my life have been a pile of dunlopów or pirelków, during the winter I made about 20 thousand. km, without the wear and tear on the drive axle almost invisible! that the judge will do them about 60 thousand! and at 101% again firestony pile. I know that now firestony began producing in Poland, my written is made in canada, I hope that those produced in Poland will be just as good! I would recommend this Clincher all - without exception!

Very good tyre - previously rode Debica frigo, I was also pleased with it, but these feel more confident. After the snow and mud śniegowym goes like on rails. After ice skating rides in a car is not - there are some tyres that ride on the ice and as well the other surfaces? As far as consumption is unfortunately not measured the, but the "eye" is very good. I would recommend these tyres - just changed my car and I am against buying winter tyres and even though it is the successor Winterhawk 2, it's probably buy the "old" because I checked.

Very nice tyre for the price, I drove for them for two seasons and the compacted snow can safely revel. In the parking lot of snow on the axes are not able to bury the Escort. Another thing that I have it set up for czteronapędówce and there everything is running better. Wet does not get into too quickly into a skid on dry, too. And it is quiet. On the ice I've seen worse but that tyre without studs to the ice-advised. However, the wife goes to Kleberze and say that's probably better pull the snow (the more it has przednionapędówkę).

Though it drove a lot of miles these tyres, I'm very pleased. I can not write, whether they are better or worse than others, because I'm not an expert on tyres. The observations indicate that the car really holds the road well. Recently I was in the mountains and easily drove without chains. I am impressed with these tyres. Since the rankings Winterhawk takes top places, many people praised her and even the price is right, it definitely kupiłlem. Price similar to Debica, Barumów and other Cormorants, a global brand!
