Permissible speed: not higher than 190 km / h, index T.
Production cost... Calculated depending on the size of the tire: R14 - 3000 rubles, R15 - 3500 rubles, R16 - 5000 rubles, 17 - 7500 rubles.
Rating. In 2016, it occupied the 8th line of the list.
This model is a new one created by an English brand, although the tire development was carried out by specialists from Goodyear. The tread pattern is quite unusual. It is a collection of drainage grooves that are located at an acute angle against the rotation of the wheel. This helped increase slash resistance.
The rib has a large number of triangular blocks, which guarantee a good grip on the road. The controllability and maneuverability of transport is provided by blocks that are connected by jumpers. The spikes are arranged in 16 rows.
Pros:
1. Fast braking on snow.
2. High level of cross-country ability.
Minuses:
1. Low level of grip on ice.
2. Long braking distances on wet pavement.
3. They consume a lot of fuel.
4. Make a lot of noise.
5. Low resistance to wet weather.
Dunlop SP Winter Ice02 tires performed well on a snow-covered track, but its characteristics are not the best. Users call the rubber comfortable to use and good grip.
Michelin X-Ice North 3
Maximum speed: no more than 190 km / h.
Cost of goods. The average price is set: R14 - 3400 rubles, R15 - 4000 rubles, R16 - 5600 rubles, R17 - 8500 rubles.
Rating table. For 2016, tires with a radial size of 16 took the 7th line of the list.
Test results:
4. The snow braking was 10.2 m (from a speed of 30 km / h).
5. The braking distance on wet asphalt is 19 m (at a speed of 60 km / h).
6. Braking from a speed of 80 km / h - 30.8 m (on a dry track).
A variety of technologies and new techniques were used to create the Michelin X-Ice North 3. The whole range of innovations was named “smart thorn”. Comprises:
1. Thermosetting rubber compound, which is applied to the inner layer in the tread. It can change the level of elasticity depending on weather conditions: in the warm season it becomes softer, the studs go into the tire, in winter it hardens, metal parts protrude outward, thereby providing good grip, especially on ice.
2. Ice Powder Remover Technology Ice is necessary to remove ice crumbs. The system consists of 6 recesses that collect ice particles.
3. The structure of the cleat is a cylinder with a tapered tip. It is installed at the base, which ensures its secure fixation.
The tread consists of an increased number of edges that increase traction on snow. Drainage channels are positioned to increase vehicle stability on the road. For rubber, a new blend of natural and synthetic rubber is used to increase grip in wet weather. Silicon is added to increase the strength.
The frame is reinforced using the IronFlex technology, which is based on the use of steel threads that increase impact resistance.
Advantages:
1. High performance in the snow.
2. Acceptable level of handling on a snowy road.
3. Short braking distances on dry or wet asphalt.
4. Good level of controllability.
5. Do not make much noise when working.
6. High cross-country ability.
Disadvantages:
1. Low adhesion when icing.
2. They consume a lot of fuel.
3. Poor stability when driving on a snowy surface.
Results. Due to the use of a special rubber compound, the studs are not strong enough to provide traction on ice. However, on clean asphalt and snow-covered road, the test results are good. For mild winters in urban environments this model would be appropriate.
Nokian Hakkapeliitta 8
Production cost. It is installed depending on the size of the tires: R14 - 4000 rubles, R15 - 5000 rubles, R16 - 8000 rubles, R17 - 11000 rubles.
Rating. According to the results of testing tires of different diameters, the products took first places from 2014 to 2016.
Results of inspections:
1. Acceleration of speed on ice up to 20 km / h in 3.5 seconds.
2. The braking distance from 50 to 0 km / h is 40.3 m.
3. Acceleration on a snow-covered road to 35 km / h in 5.8 seconds.
4. Braking on snow was 52.3 m (from a speed of 80 km / h).
5. On wet asphalt, the braking distance from 80 km / h was 42.4 m.
6. Braking distance 34.7 m on a dry road at a speed of 80 km / h.
This version is an improvement over the previous model. The tire has 190 studs. New technology spiking helped the rubber show nice results: quick braking and the same acceleration. The directional tread sticks well on the knurled road, but be careful on loose snow. On asphalt the Hakkapeliitta 8 performed well, although the tire is quite soft. In wet weather, the grip is not the best.
Comfort is provided thanks to the elastic sides, which are fitted with durable aramid fibers. Manufacturers claim that rubber does not contribute to high fuel consumption. The high noise level negatively affected the rubber's reputation.
Positive sides:
1. On ice, the rubber shows good grip, stability and handling.
2. Can easily overcome off-road conditions.
3. Strong sidewall.
4. High wear resistance.
5. Significantly saves fuel.
Negative sides:
1. Long braking distances on wet roads.
2. Makes a lot of noise during operation.
3. High cost.
4. Production in Russia.
Because of not the most best reviews in the Hakkapeliitta network is becoming less in demand. This can be explained by the fact that it is not made of the best quality, and also due to the fact that it could not meet the expectations of users. Critics aside, Nokian products are suitable for winter roads that are covered with snow or ice. This option is not suitable for those who move exclusively on the asphalt within the city. They should choose other tires.

This modification is the modernized and most popular version released by the concern. A large number of studs (170-190 pieces) were used for the tire, which are located in 18 rows. They are slightly smaller than the previous ones, but technologists were able to achieve good grip on icy surfaces. A modernized rubber compound is used that can withstand heavy loads.
Elasticity over a wide temperature range is achieved thanks to the new composition of the mixture. The size of the blocks has decreased, but their number has increased. This helped improve grip on ice. The presence of small depressions helps to collect ice crumbs. Different kinds sipes positively influenced the performance of the Continental ContiIce Contact 2.

GoodYear Ultra Grip Ice Arctic tires are versatile, possess high quality and are popular with consumers.
There are many opinions about the need to buy premium car tires and their superiority over budget options. For example, in the UK, most car enthusiasts prefer cheap tires, with the largest percentage on the continent. budget tires, which are equipped with most cars, both passenger and commercial. But still, the tires differ and the price for the premium class is higher for a reason. In the meantime, let's take a closer look at all the advantages and disadvantages of both classes.
Consumers, for the most part, make their choice in favor of budget tires. The main reason is the price. For the non-tire buyer, a tire is just a necessary attribute for a car. However, premium tire manufacturers, who invest millions of dollars annually in tire research, argue that there are significant differences in performance between premium and budget tires. What are these differences?
To answer this question, Continental conducted a comparative test of two identical Ford Focus vehicles with tires of the same size, same tread pattern and identical tire pressures. What was the difference? One vehicle was fitted with the award-winning Continental Premium Contact 2 tires, while the other was fitted with the budget-class Triangle CNNT GLS tires.
Several tests have been performed. Wet road with the wind section helped to see the response of the tires to high-speed direction changes, emergency braking and the degree of vehicle stability. The second test, Circular Driving, designed to simulate circular motion in the rain, allowed the team to measure cornering speed and the car's response to steering when traction was reduced.
The first test consisted of determining how the Continental Premium Contact 2 handles roundabouts. As expected, traction on a wet surface was not as good as on a dry one, but the car appeared to have a high degree of traction and controllability. During high-speed braking, the car peaked at 0.82g, and a maximum of 0.77G in corners.
Then a test was carried out for constant movement in a circle. Continental tires provided "with reduced adhesion" an average speed of 50-55 km / h, however, when approaching the limit and after overcoming it, the driver gets the feeling of a car (feedback). Once the limit is crossed, the tires provide feedback and respond poorly to steering. Then the budget class tires passed the same test. Triangle tires on a wet roundabout. The difference was visible with what is called the naked eye. The car had much less grip, the driver did not feel the road, it was not clear what was happening to the front tires - they were slipping or holding the road. There is a lack of steering response from the car - something that was barely noticeable when driving on premium tires has now become a noticeable problem. The clutch, one might say, almost completely disappeared, which is why it took a long time to regain control over vehicle after the tires start to slip. The constant movement in circles became even more hectic: the car was not turning enough, it was skidding around corners, and the feeling of control and power was reduced. Maximum Gs? At just 0.61G when braking and 0.55G when cornering, about 30% lower than when using premium tires.
Accordingly, we can say with a fair degree of confidence about budget-class tires - the savings are not worth it. Generally, premium tires benefit from the greater number of tests and subsequent fitting and elimination of all tire flaws.
Basically all large producers own several brands covering different price segments. This technique is used to capture the market. A wide price range allows us to supply tires for both premium and budget cars. At the same time, the eminent and well-known brand leaves its name in the premium segment.
How the world and not very well-known brands are located:
Michelin, Bridgestone, and Goodyear are unambiguously premium.
Semperit, Pirelli - economy class.
Budget tires include tires made in China as well as domestic tires. This is not to say that only expensive tires... For example, in conditions with a high probability of damage, it is very advisable to use budget tires. You may notice that we have not listed all manufacturers. There are several reasons for this. First, their prevalence in Russia. Secondly, customer recognition.
By the way, about Chinese tires, I would like to note that in addition to copying the cars themselves, the Chinese industry is engaged in the production of tires. The repetition of the tread patterns, shapes and locations of the cord, carcass makes the tire's handling characteristics similar to the original. However, the composition of the rubber itself and the quality of the components are always different. Accordingly, such tires will behave differently on the road.
And finally, I would like to note: if you have to choose tires on your own (without expert advice), it is better to give preference to the average or higher price segment- so you save yourself from surprises.
The modern market of auto parts, parts, Supplies, allows you to make a choice taking into account personal needs, financial capabilities and other factors, not being limited to the "meager assortment" that was recently present in Russia. Manufacturers have made significant progress car tires... Of course, the leaders were, are and remain Japanese, Korean, European and American models, but the domestic industry is also developing quite actively.
Difficulties of choice
In this situation, completely different difficulties set in for car owners. Instead of looking for a more or less suitable tires, you have to study the assortment more deeply, understand the characteristics, properties and try to choose the best option in terms of the good quality of the product and the affordable price. A fairly large group of car owners has been successfully using such an option as imported production for a long time.
One of the main questions asked by users is what is the difference between premium tires and products belonging to the "economy" category.
Let's try to explore the pros and cons of the options offered for comparison. The conclusion that will be made at the end of our little research will be a decision for a subsequent purchase.
The main differences
Car tires differ in a number of parameters, the main of which are:
Appointment,
Seasonality of use,
Dimensions,
Company manufacturer,
Tread shape,
Price.
There is one more criterion that often becomes the determining factor for many users. Without trying to "bother" studying any questions about the arrangement of car wheels, they completely trust the brands. Often, the choice is made precisely from premium products.
Indeed, an elite car tires is made from the highest quality raw materials, using the most modern, high-tech equipment. Maintaining a high status requires the formation of just such an approach to all manufacturing issues. But the result is obvious. Even
buy tires buelite in quality from a reliable manufacturer, you can be sure that the product will be of the highest quality.
At the same time, one should not forget about the cost of production. As a rule, owners of elite cars can afford not to be interested in such a "trifle" as the price of a set of wheels, including those with disks in addition. Large companies, officials, feeding from the state and municipal budgets, are also not burdened with the problem of choice. But the purchase of a set of rubber for a simple motorist, even with an acceptable level of income, is essential for a personal or family wallet. Nevertheless, every car owner is aware that high-quality car tires cannot be cheap.

News All newsExpensive or cheap tires
Tires differ not only in seasonality and purpose, but also in price categories. On the one hand, it is obvious that more expensive tires are made using more advanced technologies and therefore have additional remarkable qualities compared to cheaper tires. On the other hand, it is quite possible that these additional features, which are due to the higher price, are not valuable to you personally and are not needed at all. In this case, it would be wise to save a little.
To make your choice between expensive and cheap, or more consciously, let's figure out what categories of tires exist in terms of price.
All tires can be conventionally divided into three classes. The cheapest tires belong to the economy class, the premium class corresponds to a higher status and, accordingly, the price level, and the sports class is a kind of tire elite.
If you use the car for quiet movement in normal urban conditions, do not violate speed mode and not a fan of dizzying maneuvers, economy tires will perfectly suit your needs. This category of tires, as a rule, is distinguished not only by an affordable price, but also by increased durability, which further reduces the cost of rubber. These are the tires that are installed by default on most budget cars.
If you are willing to pay for increased comfort and additional security, take a look at the premium tires of the High Performance series or Grand Touring. Tires in this category are characterized by increased handling, smooth running and extremely low level noise.
The sports tires in the Max Performance, Extreme Performance and Ultra High Performance series are designed to provide the highest possible safety and handling even in the most extreme conditions. However, the comfort level is not theirs. strong point as they come in minimum sizes or for summer performance. For Everyday life it is not advisable to use such tires.
When planning a budget for buying rubber for a car, do not forget about one more important circumstance. By price categories, not only the tires themselves are divided, but also their manufacturers. For example, well-known brands such as Goodyear, Michelin, Bridgestone, Pirelli and Continental can be classified as premium. The tires they produce, even those classified by the manufacturer themselves as an economy class line, may well exceed the quality of the most best tires, which can be released by some little-known firm from Central Asia.
So which tires are best to buy? We can definitely recommend only choosing the most reliable manufacturer, known for the high quality of its products. The choice between economy, premium and sport class is mainly determined by your needs and preferences. What matters, of course, is the amount you have. But it is not worth lowering your safety requirements in favor of savings. Before agreeing to buy tires from a cheaper manufacturer, it makes sense to study the offer for the sale of used tires. You may well find high-end premium brands rubber there at economy-class prices.
If the mother does not have the opportunity to breastfeed the baby, then an urgent problem arises in the selection of a high-quality mixture. At the moment, the baby food market is oversaturated with supply. The main thing for the mother is that the child grows up healthy, develops according to the prescribed schedule and gets everything necessary elements... Therefore, the question of selection is a very responsible matter.
NUTRICIA is one of the leading manufacturers of high quality baby food. Many years of experience of mothers in feeding their babies with the products of this company is highly appreciated by pediatricians. Each package has a note - “Recommended by the pediatrician union. This speaks of achievements. Nutrilon is a food adapted for the child's body. It has a number of varieties designed for any occasion.
Properties of the base "Nutrilon"
Designed for feeding babies from 0 to 3 years(divided into categories by age). Suitable for children without any health abnormalities. If the baby is premature or allergic, he needs such types as Premature care and Hypoallergenic.
The usual Nutrilon contains all the elements necessary for full development: hydrolyzed protein, useful vegetable oils, prebiotics, minerals and vitamins, trace elements. According to consumer surveys, 90% of mothers note an improvement in all physical indicators of child development after the introduction of this brand of nutrition.
Created for those babies who have deviations in the work of the gastrointestinal tract. This mixture should deal with constipation and colic, which are troubling in the first months of life. It can be used as primary and preventive. The components that make up Comfort prevent the formation of a dense stool in the child, the occurrence of gas in the intestines.
What common
- Both mixes are produced by the same manufacturer. Comfort is a subspecies of regular Nutrilon. The base of the composition is the unique Pronutra + complex, designed to improve the functioning of the brain, increase immunity.
- They have almost the same composition: prepared protein, refined vegetable oils, glucose, starch-containing elements, prebiotics, lactose, a complex of minerals and vitamins, nucleotides and other components.
- Both have a slightly bitter taste due to degraded protein and reduced glucose levels.
- The same shelf life of the mixture in a sealed package is 18 months from the date of release.
- Identical packaging - in tin and cardboard packages weighing from 350 to 900 g. It is more profitable to buy larger packages - the price for them is lower.
- They are instant (diluted with boiled water at a temperature of 40 degrees according to the table indicated on the package). Each package contains a special measuring spoon.
- Do not refrigerate. Better if it is a cool place protected from sunlight.
- Cooking is recommended just before feeding. You can use it only for one hour.
What are the differences?
- Nutrilon is a base mix, and Nutrilon Comfort is a specialized one.
- In Comfort, the hydrolyzed protein content is even lower, as well as the lower glucose content. Because of this, the taste of Comfort is more bitter, children do not always eat this mixture with pleasure.
- Comfort is recommended for children only from 0 to 1 year old, that is, this mixture is produced in two lines - 1 and 2. Normal Nutrilon is produced for children from birth to 3 years old (1, 2, 3 and 4).
- Comfort contains a modified palm tree oil that prevents constipation. Nutrilon base also contains this component, but to a lesser extent.
- Nutrilon Comfort is thicker in consistency, due to which the baby spits up less and digests the mixture better.
- Base Nutrilone has a higher lactose content.
In favor of which mixture to choose
The first step is to consultation of a competent specialist- a pediatrician. Only a doctor can identify any health problems in your baby. Nutricia products are as close as possible in composition to a woman's breast milk. All mixtures have a similar composition, but also distinctive nuances. If you make a choice between Nutrilon and Comfort, then the conclusion is as follows:
- Is your child healthy, does not suffer from colic, does not torment gaziks, is he calm and gaining weight well? Then the basic one is perfect as a substitute for breast milk.
- If from the very birth the baby is restless, suffers from constipation, often spits up, poorly gains weight - it is necessary to solve problems. It is recommended to introduce the Nutrilon Comfort mixture, the composition of which is specially designed for children with similar deviations.
- Comfort is also recommended for all children in the first months of life, when the digestive system is improving.
It is worth focusing on how your child reacts. Any newborn person is a person with individual needs. Someone will suit Nutrilon, someone - Comfort. And another baby needs a different brand of food.
