To begin with, this is my first review, but I could not help but write. I bought Snow Cross, I can say that the tires are cool, they hold the road well, there is no hum when driving. The price and quality are consistent. I advise you not to regret it. Thanks to the managers of the company for the consultation.

Boys and girls! For these grandmothers rubber tears everyone. The first thousand km there was noise, but then, getting used to it, it disappeared. Advise

It snowed and I gave these tires a real test drive. To be honest, I don’t regret choosing them. Naturally, these are not super-duper tires, but they give confidence on the road. They make less noise in the snow ... or I already listened.

For 6 months. The operation of new tires in 2015 is 50 weeks with a mileage of 20 - 30 thousand. The cord between the tread has come out on 2 wheels out of 4. And one more on the way. The machine is light 700 kg. Conclusion: do not take the Russian miracle. More dear to yourself.

The strength and reliability of the tire is ensured by both the design and the composition of the rubber itself, providing excellent ride quality in different weather conditions, on different surfaces and also when getting into puddles.
The tires are very decent, I didn’t regret that I bought it, the season was off and it still looks very good, I think it will be enough for three years.

Cordiant has become a good way for me to save on winter tires. I used to go to the Nokian Hakke, gave about 30 k for a set. But at the same time with finances it was not very good, I decided to see what they offer from budget slippers. I drove into the store, the seller offered a dunlop ice touch, a cordiant snow cross and a camu)) I immediately discarded Kamu as an option, I once drove an eight on it. As a result, out of 2 options, the choice fell on a more budgetary one, that is, cordy. As a result, I definitely did not lose in quality.

recently I read that almost all manufacturers make rubber for the "European" "winter and once again made sure of the correctness of my choice, because at minus 20 there were no problems at all! So that you understand the European winter is +5 \\ -7 somewhere, clearly not for our country!
Tires Cordiant Winter Drive. On the plus side, I can say that I didn’t disappoint in any cons, rowing well, digging in, and the price. Minus, if I can call it that, changed the tires late and noticed that at +15 she was keeping the road well

From the pros - grip on asphalt and crumb under the wheels, it rides right on it, it's good. Wear resistance is also at the level, quite a nice thing. As for the minuses - there is either a problem with the bus itself and therefore we need loads, or a problem with the disk

rubber hard 4

Someone here complains that they are losing thorns, someone about the fact that Clone Haki 7 are strange people. Have you ever heard of the fact that studded tires need to be rolled in? I have ridden on my 1,500 km quietly, calmly and have been riding for 3 seasons now, almost all the spikes are with me.
And about the similarity, I can tell you that this is only a plus, even if it's a clone (what's wrong), what's wrong? You get premium rubber for half the price, with great performance!
So on the experience of 3 seasons I can recommend, slows down, accelerates

Very noisy. And some kind of discomfort is not very clear when driving.

Set myself a Cordiant Snow Cross that year. A good enough model for lovers of driving without any problems. I have no complaints for the period of use.

was run-in at about 1500t / km, the spikes sat in place. Now I move everywhere without delving into the spikes. I myself am from the Kezhemsky district, so I checked the cut and ice in the snow and off-road. So rezya on a solid 4, almost 5. And who does not like it, do not take it.

The first season the tires went well for 18,000 runs and lost 5-6 studs per wheel. For the second season over 3000 tires were left without studs. True, driving is mostly wet asphalt and ice. After 15 tons of run I changed places. Spikes fly out not only in front but also behind.

It's a pleasure to ride a quality tire!

almost fire

Excellent tires

Trips are mainly village-city, if during the winter they clean the road of Razik three, then this is a dasyst fountain, there were no problems with leaving the civilized road at all. It makes noise on the asphalt and this is the only drawback, at weakly freezing temperatures, you get the feeling that you are driving on a carpet, very soft goes. Regarding the loss of studs, during the season I did not lose a single stud, this is because I was cold for competitive driving, and I did not particularly like it. Winter is not a time for racing where death or life wins, it is better to choose the latter.

In 2012, I bought a car and immediately stopped by, someone says that it is better even to buy a kama in the store and buy Coordiant Snow-Cross studded tires for new disks, they cost 2,500, some say that it is better even to buy a Kama than such shit, and I'll summarize ..... in general, as I put it on disks in 2012, I never took off, and after leaving for 4 seasons I never pumped it up even, for the 5th season when I shod I had to download 0.5 atmosphere in a pair of wheels, and now now I will put on her shoes, this is the 7th season, 80% of the spikes are in place, and every season when I did, I changed the front wheels with the rear cross for a cross and I keep the tire pressure no more than 1.8 for a cold one, this is enough and the hook area is larger and softer and the spikes do not fly out, due to the softness they hide in the rubber, although at any pressure it is very noisy and does not balance very well, rebalanced last year, this was the first ever, in short, keep the correct pressure in the wheels and do not prancing on them with places and in corners and will not run bearable!

Better even than Nokia Nordman Velcro, I advise you to take it without looking roughly speaking.

The tires are very good for the economy class. I have never let you down. Good road holding at speed. On the snow and on the ice, too, everything is fine. Overall, I liked it. Even nothing to complain about. The thorns are all in place. It all depends on his driving style.

The tires are good. I use the car every day (on weekdays - 60 km a day, on weekends it sometimes reaches 500 km). The tires have already passed 3 seasons, it seems that only 3 studs have been lost from four. In general, I had Cordiant winter studded tires on the previous car, they also showed themselves well. On the snow-covered highway they go quite well and easily. The only negative is that it doesn't matter when you drive it feels like it's not summer tires (it's a bit heavy on dry asphalt somehow). Well, as for me, a hum appears in the car if the speed is above 90 km / h.

Studded winter tires Cordiant Snow Cross were presented on the eve of the 2013-2014 winter season, and this year Kordiant decided to modernize the popular model and expand its size range.

Cordiant Snow Cross features a directional tread pattern that squeezes snow and water out of the contact patch and includes a one-piece center rib that, thanks to its shape, guides snow into deep lateral grooves. In addition, multiple Z-shaped sipes remove water film from the road surface. The Cordiant Snow Cross studs are asymmetrically arranged in 16 rows, and the company says there are 10 permanent studs in the contact patch that hold traction.

In 2016, new patented Spike-Cor studs, manufactured by the Finnish company Scason, began to be installed in tires. The body of the studs is made of aluminum, the carbide insert is made of tungsten carbide, and their weight is less than that of the studs installed in the tires of some premium manufacturers.

Spike-Cor studs have an octagonal carbide insert that increases the number of gripping edges on ice for improved traction. In addition, a new body shape was developed to improve the reliability of the stud retention in the tire.

As they say in "Kordiant", Spike-Cor spikes significantly exceed the previous generation spikes in their characteristics, which was confirmed by the company's internal tests.

The updated Cordiants also differ in the structure of the base layer and the composition of the rubber compound.

It is worth saying that the upgrade has had a very positive impact on the key characteristics of the Cordiant tires, and the updated model has become significantly more efficient than its predecessor on ice, and this parameter is of the utmost importance when it comes to tires in this category.

Cordiant Snow Cross are quite popular tires from a domestic manufacturer.

It attracts many buyers with its own, however, among buyers there is a stereotype that the performance properties leave much to be desired.

In this article, you will learn:

The Cordiant company decided to break this stereotype once and for all by launching the Show Cross model on the market.

Model overview

The Cordiant Snow Cross is a type of spiked rubber with a directional tread pattern. Designed for passenger cars from mass segment C to middle class D. Available in sizes from R14 to R17. Available ranges from 155 to 245 millimeters, while it can be 55, 60, 65 or 70. Refers to the middle price category.

The tire, according to the developers, was created taking into account the winter conditions of Russia and the CIS countries, where severe frosts can be replaced by a thaw, and ice or snow can suddenly become water and vice versa.

In the central part of the tire - V-shaped, which allows you to resist the effect of aquaplaning and maintain the desired directional stability. The shoulder zones of Show Cross are in the form of peripheral blocks, which are designed to combat drifts and slip, as well as to provide good cross-country ability on snow and slush.

Strengths

The manufacturer turned out to be somewhat honest - the Cordiant Show Cross can indeed be very effective on winter surfaces. Russian tires are especially good at braking and decelerating on snowy and icy roads, in addition, the tires show good lateral grip.

The permeability of the tires also deserves a flattering word - the wheels "rake" out of deep snow quite confidently, only sometimes breaking into a slip. Additionally, it is worth noting a fairly high ride comfort - due to the soft rubber composition, small and medium irregularities are practically not felt, and a distinct hum from the studs appears only at high speeds.

Weak sides

As for the weaknesses of the model, then they should include behavior on the asphalt. How well the Cordiant Show Cross behaves on snowy and icy surfaces is about as bad on dry and wet asphalt. The reactions of the steering wheel are relatively indistinct and even belated, both in the near-zero zone and with a significant deviation of the steering wheel at different angles.

In turns, drifts can occur quite early and abruptly, and the car can be returned to its original trajectory only by reducing the speed and dumping the gas. The braking distance on asphalt is also poor. When driving through a slush, it is better to hold the steering wheel with both hands, because the tires can scour a lot and try to leave a given trajectory. Another disadvantage of these tires is a short service life: in two seasons of ordinary operation, up to 60 percent of the studs can fly out, moreover, they can even bend.

The opinion of motorists

Why is Cordiant Show Cross so popular? The key prerequisite for their demand in the market is their relative availability - Russian tires are inexpensive and can be found in almost any store.

The main audience of users is the owners of class B cars and budget crossovers, which largely explains the overwhelming majority of positive reviews - at moderate speeds and with quiet driving, tires delight with their predictability and level of comfort.

But in the case of installing Cordiant on powerful and fast cars, drivers begin to complain about unstable behavior at high speeds and a strong loss of studs after just one season of operation. In general, these tires can be recommended to every car enthusiast, especially those living in the provinces, but you should not expect anything outstanding from them.

Quick reference

JSC "Kordiant" is a domestic tire manufacturer. Representatives of the Russian company claim that it owns 21.8 percent of the total market share (at the end of 2012). The head office of the concern is located in the capital of the Russian Federation - in the city of Moscow.

The Cordiant company includes several brands, including CORDIANT itself, as well as another fairly well-known brand OMSKSHINA.
