BRIDGESTONE BLIZZAK SPIKE-02 SUV
This winter season, a new range of sizes for the already well-known and well-proven Blizzak Spike-02 model, designed for SUVs, will be presented on the Russian market. This studded tire offers superior braking performance on ice and snow, as well as extended service life. Long-edged directional cleat attaches securely to the tread. The V-shaped tread design has a high density center edge with an optimized angle. The composition of the rubber compound ensures its elasticity at low temperatures and high level wear resistance. The tire is available in 37 standard sizes with rim diameters from 15 to 21 inches and with a profile from 45 to 70.
BRIDGESTONE BLIZZAK VRX
Bridgestone developers themselves say that this model is the best that the company has created in the line of non-studded winter tires. Traction on icy surfaces is largely ensured by the use of the innovative MultiCell Compound: the micropores of the upper tread layer absorb moisture from the ice surface, thereby ensuring direct tire contact with the road surface. And as the tread wears down new composition The Multi-Cell Compound creates new micropores, which allows the rubber compound to remain soft and provide effective braking for a long time. The new asymmetrical tread pattern improves flotation in snow. In Bridgestone's own tests, Blizzak VRX tires provided a 10% reduction in braking distances compared to the previous model. On the market, Blizzak VRX tires are available in 59 standard sizes with rim diameters from 13 to 19 inches.
BRIDGESTONE BLIZZAK DM-V2
The Bizzak DM-V2 is a studless crossover and SUV tire. Compared to the previous generation tires, improved handling on snow and ice, as well as braking on ice. The tire uses a Multi-Cell Compound rubber compound, the micropores of which effectively absorb moisture, providing good grip on icy surfaces. The use of this technology also contributes to a longer tire life. Improved performance on snow and ice is provided by a new directional tread pattern that uses 3D sipes. The large number of edges contributes to reliable grip of the tire with the road surface. Better contact with the road and improved braking performance compared to the previous model is also provided by the new shape of the shoulder blocks. Blizzak DM-V2 tires are available in 58 sizes with rims ranging from 15 to 22 inches.
CONTIVICINGCONTACT 6
This studless tire is specially designed for the Scandinavian and Russian winter. When changing the model, the developers have placed special emphasis on a high level of grip on all types of surfaces. This versatility is achieved thanks to a three-part asymmetrical tread made from an innovative rubber compound optimized for softness. The outer part of the tread provides traction on dry asphalt, the middle part - on ice, and the inner part - on snow. The combination of tread design contributes to good performance in constantly changing city road conditions. The design of the sipes makes the tire resistant to aquaplaning on wet asphalt, and the bridged tread blocks work like snow chains in the snow. For the first time, some of the standard sizes of this model have been released using the ContiCilent technology. This is a layer of polyurethane foam that adheres to the inner surface of the tire from the tread side and effectively absorbs sound vibrations transmitted to the wheel rim, and then to the suspension and body parts. Research has shown that this technology can reduce cabin noise by approximately 9 dB. This season, the ContiVicingContact 6 range has been expanded with 13 sizes and includes 110 items for both passenger cars and SUVs.
CONTINENTAL ICECONTACT 2
Studded tire with soldered-in stud with increased number of edges and less weight. Continental says this cleat attachment technology provides 10 times better retention in the tread than conventional studs. In a number of IceContact 2 tire sizes, the ContiSeal anti-puncture technology is available, the sealant of which seals punctures up to 5 mm in diameter without subsequent repair, as well as the ContiSilent technology, which, thanks to a layer of special foam, significantly reduces the level of noise and vibration. Also in the tire, in comparison with its predecessor ContiContact, the handling was improved by 9% on dry roads, by 2% - on ice, and by 8% in the transmission of braking and traction on ice. Another feature of the tire is its asymmetrical tread pattern. Increased tire life and stud safety are ensured by the double-fired technology, due to which the tire and stud are practically one whole. This season, the IceContact 2 tire line has been expanded with 23 sizes to include 135 passenger car and SUV models.
CORDIANT SNOW CROSS
The characteristic feature of this tire is the original Spice-Cor stud produced by famous company Scason. The spike body is made of aluminum and the carbide insert is made of tungsten carbide. The optimal cleat hole shape ensures both a secure grip of the cleat in the tire and the transmission of high traction on ice. The modified design of the base layer enhances the impact of the stud on the ice. In addition, the original design of the spike body prevents its rotation in the tread layer and increases the reliability of the spike retention in the tire. The new tread chemistry extends the tire's temperature range to -53 ° C. According to the test results, new technologies have reduced the braking distance on ice, in comparison with the previous generation of tires, by 12%. The Snow Cross range this season in 35 sizes with rims ranging from 14 to 18 inches. The range also includes reinforced tires for SUV segment vehicles (13 sizes with rim diameters from 16 to 18 inches).
DUNLOP WINTER MAXX 02
Dunlop Tire CIS introduces to the Russian and CIS markets a new development of Sumitomo Rubber Industries - the non-studded Winter Maxx 02 model with an asymmetric tread pattern that is universal for all surfaces. Its design uses the sharp edges of the blocks, which facilitate grip on the ice surface, and wide drainage grooves provide self-cleaning of the tread from snow and slush. Developed lateral drainage grooves efficiently drain moisture from the contact patch. The tread pattern is designed in such a way that the tire, due to the effect of snow compression, has zones of increased grip on the snow surface. The tire uses the Miura-Ori zigzag lamella technology already familiar from the previous models of the company, but in the Winter Maxx 02 their length is increased. Thus, the tread blocks have more sharp edges, which improves traction on snow and ice surfaces. The new, more elastic Mega Nano Fit Rubber material also improves grip. To maintain the stable performance of the tire during operation, a softening component made from biomass is used in the rubber compound. The tire is available in 36 standard sizes with rim diameters from 13 to 19 inches.
FIRESTONE ICE CRUISER 7
For the winter season, Bridgestone has prepared a new product from its subsidiary brand - the Ice Cruiser 7. The main innovation of the tire is the original stud, which provides high braking performance on ice surfaces. The cohesive structure of the large center blocks of the tread contributes to good directional stability, and the large, rigid blocks of the sidewalls help control precision when cornering. At the same time, the sharp edges of the blocks provide a secure grip on snowy surfaces. Developed lateral grooves effectively remove moisture and snow slurry from the contact patch of the tire with the road. Taking into account the specifics of our roads, there is another important detail: both the center of the tire and its sidewalls are made more durable, which significantly reduces the risk of damage. This season the tire is presented in 19 standard sizes with rim diameters from 13 to 17 inches.
GOODYEAR ULTRAGRIP ICE SUV
Non-studded tire designed for crossovers and SUVs. The composition of the rubber compound of this model has an increased content of silica, which allows the tire to maintain stable performance in a wide range of winter temperatures. When developing the design of the shoulder protector of the UltraGrip Ice SUV model, sip locking technology was used: deeper protrusions of the prismatic sipes provide block rigidity during movement, which positively affects handling when cornering and making maneuvers. Special attention of the developers was paid to the optimal distribution of pressure in the contact patch of the tire with the road - a characteristic that significantly affects the performance of acceleration and braking. A wear indicator is provided in the center of the tread, allowing the owner to monitor the condition of the tire. The model is offered in standard sizes with bore diameters from 16 to 20 inches.
GOODYEAR ULTRAGRIP ICE ARCTIC SUV
The key to the development of this model was the MultiControl Ice technology, combining solutions related to stud construction, sipe design and tread pattern. The special shape of the hard-alloy spike insert allowed to improve the acceleration performance (this is facilitated by the optimized spike placement), braking and handling on ice, as well as to reduce the loads that prevent the spike from holding in the tire. The increased trailing edge of the hard-alloy cleat insert allows for increased resistance when in contact with the ice surface, which increases the braking efficiency compared to classic cleats. When cornering, one of the side edges of the cleat becomes at an angle of 90 ° in relation to the trajectory of the movement - this increases grip and improves handling. For effective grip on rolled snow, the V-shaped sipes in the tread layer are staggered, and the "sawtooth" design of the shoulder area of \u200b\u200bthe tread contributes to effective grip when driving in deep snow. Open drainage grooves, widened in the shoulder area, allow water, slush and slush to quickly drain from the tire-road contact patch, which reduces the risk of aquaplaning. The tire is offered in sizes from 15 to 20 inches.
GT RADIAL WINTERPRO2
This new studless tire is designed for compact and mid-size cars as well as crossovers and SUVs. Directional tread design provides firm grip on snow and efficient drainage of water and slurry from the tire-to-road contact patch. The optimal distribution of thin sipes in the tread parts improves traction and braking performance on snow and ice, and the edges of the tread blocks perform a stabilizing function when cornering, increasing lateral traction. The new rubber compound with a higher silica content allows the tire to maintain stable performance even at very low temperatures. The tire is available in 36 standard sizes with rim diameters from 13 to 17 inches.
GT RADIAL ICEPRO3
New studded tire for passenger cars with directional tread pattern. The tire uses up to 140 (depending on the size) studs of the original design, which provides effective traction and short braking distances. At the same time, the tire has good performance in terms of noise level. Optimum grip and short braking distances on ice and snow are facilitated by a special silica-based rubber compound used in the tread layer. The tire is available in 10 standard sizes with rim diameters from 15 to 17 inches. In the 2018-2019 season, the range of tires will be replenished with new sizes and their number will increase to 21.

The tire is available in 24 sizes with rim diameters from 14 to 16 inches.
HANKOOK WINTER I * PIKE RS PLUS
The Hankook Winter i * Pike RS Plus studded tire has been specially developed for the harsh winters of the Nordic countries and Russia. The tire features a combination of a widened side groove and an enlarged tire contact patch, which provides a high level of grip on snow. Optimum performance is also achieved by enhancing the edge effect of the high density lamellas. 3D sipe technology improves braking performance and handling, even in very difficult driving conditions. The number of studs arranged in 22 rows on the Winter i * Pike RS Plus has been increased to 170. The combination of an optimized stud position with an increase in their number creates conditions for safe handling on ice. The two-layer tread structure protects the studs from sticking out and promotes effective braking on icy roads. Special Aqua Slant grooves, applied to the tread, improve wet and muddy road performance, effectively removing water and dirt and thus ensuring stable tire-to-road contact.
HANKOOK I * CEPT IZ2
Non-studded winter tires with directional tread pattern are specially designed for the difficult winter conditions of Northern and Eastern Europe. The i * cept iZ2 model provides comfortable travel on snow-covered, icy roads and melted snow. The tires are based on the company's latest design and technology developments. A Siberian husky tread pattern and Hankook's patented 3D siping technology provide optimum traction, reliable braking and a high level of control.
MICHELIN LATITUDE X-ICE NORTH 2+
Designed for harsh winter conditions, this tire is designed for off-road vehicles. According to test results, the Latitude X-Ice North 2+ has the following performance improvements over its predecessor Latitude X-Ice North 2: 10% shorter braking distances on ice, 5% faster on snow, and 15% better acceleration dynamics on ice and 10% on snow. The tire uses a range of innovative technologies. For example, in a two-layer tread, the inner layer is made of a thermosetting compound, which increases the stud attachment level and can change its characteristics depending on the temperature. The outer layer contains an increased content of silica, which allows it to maintain sufficient elasticity at low temperatures and the required rigidity at high temperatures. In the winter season, the tire is presented in 45 standard sizes with rim diameters from 16 to 21 inches. The Latitude X-Ice North 2+ is also available in Zero Pressure sizes to fit the BMW X5 and X6.

The special design of the tread blocks provides directional stability when driving on ice, snow and dry roads and prevents uneven tire wear. The sawtooth elements on the sidewall of the tread blocks provide additional traction in the snow rut. The tire is available in 46 standard sizes with rim diameters from 14 to 21 inches.
NOKIAN HAKKAPELIITTA 9
Nokian Tires is launching a new studded tire with completely new solutions. First of all, these are different spikes in the center and side of the tire. The former are responsible for acceleration and braking, the latter for lateral grip. Traditionally for the Nokian Tires winter tire range, the novelty has a directional tread pattern and a fixed direction of rotation. The tread pattern is heavily carved by the supporting 3D sipes that connect the tread blocks for improved handling. Deep grooves, together with snow traction enhancers on both sides of the mid blocks in the center of the tread, provide sharper edges for improved snow traction in both longitudinal and lateral directions. The main components of the new environmentally friendly rubber compound are silica, rapeseed oil (which improves the tensile strength of the compound) and a new biomaterial that helps the rubber compound remain flexible even at very low temperatures. The new rubber compound also effectively minimizes interior noise. Among other things, the elasticity of the tread improves the performance of the sipes, which in turn provides effective traction on snow. The stability of the chemical bonds in the tread layer ensures the stable characteristics of the tire during its entire service life. The very strong steel belt belt contributes to a high degree of controllability even at high speeds. The tire is available in 52 sizes with rim diameters from 14 to 20 inches.
NOKIAN HAKKAPELIITTA 9 SUV
A novelty from Nokian Tires for crossovers and SUVs. It uses all the same technologies, including the original studding concept, as in the Hakkapeliitta 9. But this tire should not be considered an exact copy of a model intended for passenger cars. This also applies to the composition of the rubber compound, the tread pattern (the tread blocks in the shoulder areas are connected by bridges) and even the size of the stud, the body of which is a millimeter taller than that used in the Hakkapeliitta 9. In addition, the sides of the tire are reinforced with durable aramid fibers. The tire is available in 59 standard sizes with rim diameters from 16 to 22 inches
NOKIAN NORDMAN 7
Mid-priced studded tires inherited from the Nokian Hakkapeliitta 7. Thanks to the Air Claw technology, which incorporates teardrop-shaped air shock absorbers, the tire not only provides a high level of grip on winter roads, but also has a gentle spike effect on the road surface. Eco Stud System technology reduces road wear and tire noise. The tire size range includes a total of 34 standard sizes with rim diameters from 13 to 17 inches.
NOKIAN NORDMAN 7 SUV
Another novelty of the season at Nokian Tires, a tire with an extra strong structure for off-road vehicles. The wide anchor stud provides both longitudinal and lateral traction on slippery surfaces. The bear's claw technology, previously used in Nokian Hakkapeliitta tires, keeps the cleat in an upright position, optimally supporting the tread blocks during braking. The adaptive behavior of the tire is also provided by Eco Stud System technology with a stud damper to soften its impact on the road. Like the Nordman 7, it uses Air Claw technology (teardrop-shaped air shocks in front of the cleat). The Nordman 7 SUV line is available in 37 sizes with rim diameters ranging from 15 to 20 inches.
PIRELLI WINTER SOTTOZERO 3
High speed tire for premium vehicles with medium and high power engines.

Thanks to the special tread pattern, the even distribution of pressure in the contact patch of the tire with the road increases the tire's life. The original shape of the shoulder area and wide grooves in the tread pattern help to efficiently drain water from the contact patch when driving on wet surfaces. The tire is available in 76 standard sizes with rim diameters from 16 to 21 inches.
PIRELLI ICE ZERO
Pirelli's engineers have drawn on 40 years of rally experience to develop this studded tire. One of the keys to high performance is the "double" stud technology, and the high frequency of the sipes provides reliable grip on snowy surfaces. The stability of the tire's performance is achieved through the use of an innovative rubber compound that maintains a constant structure under various temperature conditions. The optimized tire profile improves traction and more even pressure distribution across the contact patch, which relieves the increased load on the studs, thereby ensuring a firm stud retention in the tire as well as increased wear resistance. The tire range includes 90 standard sizes with rim diameters from 14 to 22 inches.
PIRELLI ICE ZERO FR
Friction tire with an improved rubber compound, new tread pattern and carcass, suitable for most passenger cars and SUVs.

The sidewalls of the Nokian Hakkapeliitta R3 SUV are made from a rubber compound with an extremely durable aramid fiber, also used in body armor.
Bridgestone
The Japanese tire manufacturer Bridgestone has presented two new products for the current season. The premium non-studded model has become the key for the brand. The tire is known in the domestic Japanese market as the Blizzak VRX2 and has been successfully sold there since the fall of 2017. The novelty has a multifunctional tread with an innovative pattern that improves traction. The increased number of sipes contributes to efficient traction and braking performance. Thanks to the self-locking effect, the engineers managed to maintain the rigidity of the blocks necessary for stable and precise controllability. The new tread compound is based on the patented Multicell Compound II technology, which provides a tighter contact with the road. Bridgestone technicians have integrated micropores and cavities into the tread compound to absorb water from the road surface. This allows the tread to come into contact with the hard surface of the ice for a secure grip.
The second novelty of the company was the model presented this year. Motorists with more than ten years of experience remember the legendary Ice Cruiser 7000 model. The modification with the letter S, as planned by the Japanese, should repeat the success of its prototype. To meet modern trends, the new product has been updated with a sidewall new logo companies. After identifying the cause of the noise, Bridgestone engineers optimized the stud lengths, which significantly improved acoustic comfort.
The Korean company Hankook has introduced two winter novelties to the market: the non-studded Winter i * cept X RW10 model and the Winter i * pike RS2 W429 studded tire for harsh winter conditions. The non-studded novelty is designed for the fast-growing crossover segment that needs reliable traction in harsh winter conditions. The tread of the novelty has a V-shaped architecture with sharp edges, which ensure high traction and grip characteristics and good handling on wet road surfaces. The increased number of grooves and self-locking sipes ensured a high level of safety on snow and ice, even with dynamic driving style. The Grip Claw's sharp, three-dimensional edges provide grip on snow, and stepped notches prevent snow from accumulating when accelerating or braking on ice. Zigzag grooves effectively protect against aquaplaning, providing rapid drainage of water from the contact patch. A system of special moisture-absorbing holes prevents slipping on melted snow. Zig-zag shoulder blocks provide even pressure distribution over the shoulder edges.
The studded tire has been specially designed for harsh winter conditions. Thanks to the new Snow Slit tread design with increased number of studs, as well as a new rubber compound, the tire has outstanding performance characteristics on all winter surfaces: on snow and ice. Zig-zag grooves provide improved traction in deep snow, while fang-shaped edges on both sides of the tread improve traction on rolled snow. Spiral boosters in shoulder grooves effectively drain water from the contact patch on icy road surfaces.

For the upcoming winter season 2018-2019, Kormoran is focusing on the Stud 2 studded passenger car tire and the Snow non-studded tire. The tires have an identical directional tread pattern that has proven to be an effective tool on difficult winter roads. Despite its external similarity, the tire tread has a number of significant differences from the Snow tire. As befits a studded tire, it is designed to provide reliable performance on ice in harsh winter conditions. The tread blocks, in which the cleats are integrated, have been significantly reinforced by reducing the number of sipes. Among other things, the tire uses a dual compound technology, softer at the tire-to-road patch and stiffer at the base of the carcass. This effectively protects the tire from premature stud loss, extending its useful life.
Directional tire tread consists of blocks combined into five longitudinal ribs. This architecture provided reliable traction and short braking distances on any type of winter surface. The diagonal direction of the blocks and the variable pitch of the blocks of the shoulder zones of the tread significantly improved comfort indicators and reduced noise levels. The network of multidirectional grooves quickly removes water and slurry from the contact patch, preventing the occurrence of aquaplaning. The central tread blocks, combined into a solid central rib, guarantee a high level of directional stability and precise steering response during high-speed maneuvering.
Korean car tire manufacturer Nexen has high hopes for the WinGuard Sport 2 SUV and WinGuard Ice 2 models presented this year. The SUV is a non-studded winter tire designed for modern sports cars. She has already won the prestigious iF Design Awards 2018. The tread with directional V-shaped pattern became the merit. It has improved grip on wet, snowy and icy surfaces, thanks to 17 percent more engagement edges and 3D sipes, and an updated rubber compound with a high silica content. It has a high elasticity index, which allows it to effectively use the tire in harsh winter conditions.
The Nexen WinGuard Ice 2 non-studded winter tires are designed for a wide range of passenger cars operating in harsh winter conditions. The manufacturer focuses on high braking performance on ice and stable handling on snowy roads. Novica has a pronounced asymmetric tread pattern with densely spaced three-dimensional sipes that improve grip on winter roads. The new rubber compound with the inclusion of silica and secret components helps to maintain elasticity at low temperatures and optimizes tire grip during thaw.
The Japanese company Toyo will be presented this season with two new products: a studded tire and a friction model for Snowprox S954 SUV crossovers. The studded novelty is intended to replace the previous generation Observe G3-ice model that appeared on the Russian market in 2013. Thanks to the use of twin blocks, the Japanese specialists were able to increase the positive profile of the tire, which made it possible to optimize the distribution of the studs in 28 lines. This significantly improved the tire's grip on ice. The tread blocks feature a multitude of multidirectional wavy 3D sipes, providing confident maneuverability when turning the steering wheel in any direction. For efficient movement in deep snow, the tire is equipped with special Snow Blade lugs that act as hooks. The new Ice Force cleat has a wider flange for 20 percent better cleat retention and a pentagonal carbide tip for better grip on ice.
The wide tread of the new Toyo Snowprox S954 SUV provides heavy SUV drivers with excellent handling. The combination of sipes of different thickness contributes to an even distribution of pressure in the contact patch, improving grip on wet road surfaces while maintaining high snow characteristics. A new rubber compound containing highly dispersed silica and active polymers was developed especially for the novelty. It reduces heat generation, reduces rolling resistance and improves grip on wet surfaces.
Before the winter season, every car enthusiast faces a difficult choice - which winter tires are better to buy. The safety of traffic, people's lives and compliance with the law in general depend on this. According to clause 5.5 of Appendix No. 8 of the Customs Union, the law stipulates a mandatory period for driving on winter tires from December to February of each year. However, the weather conditions in our country are different every year, and the snow can "fall" in October, and melt at the end of January. That is why the term of the obligatory “re-shoes” is determined by the regional authorities. Both non-studded winter tires and studded tires are allowed. Traffic rules regulate the mandatory tread size and the size of winter tires for each car.
In addition to creating road safety, the presence of thorns (according to the authorities) poses a threat to modern road surfaces that are free of snow. This leads to the destruction of road layers, so the traffic police carefully check the "shoes" of cars in the off-season.
If you know everything about winter tires, have chosen a model and want to buy winter tires already, go to the store "Wheels for nothing"- proven! More than once ordered on it, prices are always better than others . Large selection of tires, disks and various auto goods. The order can be made online with delivery even to the regions.
Before we consider, let's take a look at the features of rubber and which winter tires are best to buy. Ordinary summer tires harden and crack in the cold. Therefore, manufacturers of winter tires are trying to apply innovative approaches to creating wheels that will keep the rubber intact at any negative temperature. In inexpensive winter tires, the rubber may not be of high quality, due to which its service life is much shorter. It should be remembered that winter tires, in contrast to summer tires, are almost not erased, therefore they can last more than 5 years.
Before buying rubber, sellers, for obvious reasons, will not allow a winter tire test, so you will have to rely on product reviews and reputation. you can read at the bottom of the article, as well as on manufacturers' websites, on special automobile portals and in social media groups.
New or used winter tires
In addition to the wide variety of tire manufacturers in the store, car enthusiasts can choose between new and used wheels. Both have their pros and cons.
Such wheels are guaranteed not to swell at the first ride (in the case of quality production). If this happens, they can be returned under warranty. New tires will last longer without repair, and it will not be difficult to fit new studs in them, if possible. It is difficult to find used tires for some car models, so you have to buy or order only a new product. The only drawback is the high price. But it also turns into a plus if you calculate the data in the ratio of depreciation and service life of new rubber.
When looking to buy winter tires, many car owners first turn to popular websites that sell used goods. There, the owner indicates how long the wheels have been in use. Information is presented with words, it is sometimes impossible to verify the authenticity of information, so the buyer has to believe. The price of winter tires that have already been used by another car owner will be lower than for new products. But considering the average service life of 2 to 4 seasons, in the end, such an acquisition is unprofitable.
Which winter tires are better
As already mentioned, tires for the winter can be studded and non-studded. The difference between them is not only in the presence of thorns.
- Scandinavian winter tire- designed for maximum grip on snowy or icy road surfaces. It has an average depth of the pattern from 8 to 10 mm, with a discharged effect. The drawing is applied in a checkerboard pattern, rectangular or diamond-shaped patterns. The protector is equipped with sipes. There is a large distance between the pattern. This shape is designed to push through the surface;
- European winter tire - designed for driving on wet roads from rain or snow. All slots are thin, with many water channels.
The spikes on these tires are arranged in a different order, depending on the manufacturer. Most often they can be of 2 types: round or diamond-shaped. The most reliable are considered "recessed" in the coating. They are deeply soldered, while the tip protrudes strongly from the outside and interacts well with the road.
Interesting fact! In some countries, the use of studs on wheels is prohibited.
Studs can help in traction on icy and snowy roads, but in the rain they can fail, on the contrary, increasing the stopping distance. Spikes add noise and fly out quickly when riding on a surface without snow and ice.
The term "all-season tires" is often heard. Such products are actively used in Europe, but in the harsh Russian climate they are not suitable for use. The rating of the best winter tires for Russians consists of studded and non-studded wheels, which is what you should focus on.
Rating of the best winter tires of 2018
So let's get down to a roundup of the best winter tires. The rating will include the top brands and the most time-tested models of winter tires.
Best winter tires of 2018 presented from several popular manufacturers. In general, last year's situation on the supply market has not changed much, the annual quality leaders according to the rating of winter tires firmly hold their positions
1 place. Our ranking of winter tires opens with Nokian
Popular winter tires with a wide range of wheels adapted for the harsh Russian climate. Nokian winter tires are specially designed for the characteristics of each car and for different weather conditions. Despite the wide range of products, there are negative opinions about this brand in the reviews. One of the disadvantages is called noise when driving. Complain about slight difficulties in braking and skidding. For the price, the wheels are in the golden mean of similar offers.

Another version of the series - Nokian Nordman 7 Sun with radii from 15 to 18 and with a profile width of up to 285 is produced specifically for SUVs.
2nd place. Bridgestone tires
Bridgestone winter tires have been produced by a Japanese company since the 30s of the last century. Since then, car models and production technology have changed a lot. The company produces several model lines of summer, all-season (Velcro) and studded tires. The most popular models of winter tires are Blizak and Ice Cruiser.
Bridgestone blizzak VRX and DM non-studded winter tires
Bridgestone Blizzak VRX for passenger cars and DM for crossovers is considered the most versatile rubber, very well proven. Designed to last on tough icy surfaces. A feature of these models is clear instructions for mounting wheels - they have an outer and inner side for more efficient operation. The creators of the models of this series took care of the reliability of the rubber coating. When the outer layer wears off, the porous surface does not lose adhesion for a long time. Bridgestone Blizzak tires last a long time, remaining soft and elastic. Despite the difficulty of covering domestic roads, they are very resistant to natural features.
Also in the line of bridgestone blizzak winter tires there is a growing popularity model SPIKE-01 and SPIKE-02, which also deserves attention.
Designed for even more difficult climatic conditions. The new spike arrangement in 16 lines instead of the previous 12, increases the chances of maximum vehicle stability.

3rd place. Michelin tires
The French manufacturer of winter tires is quite popular throughout Russia. Michelin winter tires have several lines specifically for severe weather with negative temperatures.
The michelin x ice range of winter tires is developed according to the unique “APS: Adaptability” system. It allows the rubber to bend only in the right places, fixing the position of the car on the road. The lamellae of the michelin x ice 3 winter tires are made in a Z-shape, the shoulder area with sharp edges. This allows a car equipped with such rubber to get out of any snow "porridge", the wheels simply grind the substance, throwing it back and pushing the car forward without skidding.
The Michelin X Ice Nord 3 winter tire is equipped with a smart stud system. At high negative air temperatures, the rubber around the stud grasps, hardens and contributes to better stud retention and more aggressiveness on the road. This can increase noise, but maintains grip more securely. In general, the tire is quite soft and behaves well on any snowy surface.
4th place. Continental tires
The strong frame of the products of the German manufacturer won the hearts of Russians back in the 90s. Tires were brought into the country together with used foreign cars. Their endurance made the products popular and gradually Continental winter tires entered the top three in popularity.
The products contain high quality synthetic rubber and silicates. The tread with a water-wicking pattern and many small dashes on the tread well drain fluid. The tire is equipped with rigid diamond-shaped checkers, which perfectly hold the car in turns.

Cordiant snow cross - rubber for compact and middle class cars. Agility stabilization is provided by a V-shaped tread pattern and a contact patch that wicks moisture away from the tire. The Cordiant Snow Cross tire is not suitable for winter with air temperatures above +5 degrees. This does not apply to the beginning of the off-season - despite the "mess" on the roads, often frosts at night and the use of studded tires is necessary. But if such a winter is throughout the season, and the asphalt is not covered with snow at all, this model will not be suitable for use.
