With the outbreak of the crisis, the price tags for literally all tires skyrocketed. So much so that many began to think about buying tires of segment C,
Windforce is the first tire manufacturer from China whose products we put on an editorial vehicle. Before that, they always only drove on tires from well-known manufacturers. However, on the Nokian Hakka Z, which has served faithfully for over a year, the rubber compound has aged, as eloquently told by the cracked sidewalls of all four tires. It was necessary to urgently “change shoes”. And then, as luck would have it, a crisis struck.
When they started selecting tires with a size of 215/45R17, there was no shortage of offers. But the prices were not encouraging. Branded models cost from 13,000 rubles each. And the Chinese Windforce was sold for 5200 rubles. It was the reserve price in this size. The cost is acceptable but confuses the brand. However, we studied some information about the Catchfors UHP model. And they even found an extensive tire test on the web, initiated by western experts, where the tires did not perform well compared to Continental and that same Nikian. But the feedback from ordinary buyers turned out to be positive. Let’s take a look at Made in China tires and us. Forward!
At the tire shop, all four wheels were well balanced. There is no “scattering” of goods on the checkers. In motion, the tires are surprisingly quiet and soft. Deep tread pattern helps to feel confident on wet city roads. As for the track, we didn’t accelerate more than 100 mph in the rain. Rather because of the inner, so to speak, psychological fear. At these speeds, however, the tires are stable and no different from premium tires.
However, there are drawbacks. For example, on the ground. Mainly washed away by showers. In such conditions, the tread quickly becomes clogged with sand and you have to drive through dangerous places, otherwise you can get stuck quite quickly. Yes, a country road is the weak point of these tires, but they are precisely “honed” for asphalt. Fact: on a level surface, the rubber holds the road perfectly and does not deter it when the trajectory breaks, we predict every manoeuvre. The only thing those same car owners talk about in their reviews is the blazing-fast end source of tires. That is, they work perfectly, but at some point they just stop. Well, we will continue to monitor the behavior of Windforce Catchfors UHP tires and will definitely tell you about their properties after the first season of use.
In general, tires please. For now anyway. Now more and more I think that next time you can not install expensive brand models at all. Although, as mentioned earlier, Chinese products may present themselves with an unpleasant surprise. Yes, it is possible that she will show more wear at some point. And nothing is known about sustainability. In short, we’ll see. The tests are underway and the main tests are yet to come.
