Imperial Snowdragon 3

There are many positive opinions about this tire in the internet. I suspect that the authors may be people who did not use much more expensive, top models (the top model is not necessarily the top brand, though usually). Well, after converting summer tires (Dunlop Sport Maxx RT 245/40/18 - supposedly one of the quietest) for winter one, you could notice two meaningful changes: very quiet performance and quite dangerous behavior of the car in the usual, but dynamic driving. The sport suspension does not hide tire defects so the differences were immediately noticeable for me without any extreme testing. Immediately after shifting the wheels, so in identical conditions (dry surface, about 10 degrees) the braking distance increased by 50%. With decisive, but not cracking cornering, the car buckled like damaged sleeves and was carried outside. On a wet surface, the braking distance is also longer than on summer tires, although not so drastically. However, there is a low aquaplaning tendency. I have no experience with snow - this year it will not be much better. The tire could not be perfectly balanced even after 3 drafts. At frequent speed of 50-60 mph, rumbling is heard.

A year ago, I was using the Dunlop SP Winter Sport 3D (tread wear rate approximately 40%, but these were 4 years old so I had to replace them.. This year I bought the Imperial Snowdragon 3, and my first impressions are they are very similar to the Dunlop tyres I was using previously. They are a quiet-to-drive tyre and they handle brilliantly in deep snow. I felt my Dunlop’ tyres were better in the wet, but these still perform adequately for my needs. The braking is superb in most conditions and they provide great value for money. I believe 100%, that you are getting a tyre spec of a Dunlop/Michelin at a quarter of the price. It is quite a durable tyre, but I recommend changing tyres every 4 years, no matter what the brand is, as the rubber hardens. In summary, a much better winter tyre than premium brand Read more Collapse

I am very satisfied with my Imperial Snowdragon 3 winter tyres. My ride is now much more precise and careful: these tyres have even reduced my level of fatigue too. They are very stable when cornering. At fast speeds, think more than 100mph, they are safe and extremely quiet, which I did not expect, to be honest. I would definitely buy some more of these tyres when I need to. I have travelled more than 1000miles on them in 5 days, and they have performed brilliantly on wet and dry roads alike. I am just waiting to test them thoroughly on snow. Finally, I am sincerely delighted with the shipping (within 24 hours, they were delivered) and the Oponeo call centre operatives were great. Overall, a great tyre, from a great company. Read more Collapse

I bought these tyres (Imperial Snowdragon 3) especially for the winter season. I drove about 6000 miles on them, in a dynamic driving style. On snow, the tyres perform very well. The grip is good, and the traction they deliver when pulling away is superb. On dry roads, they perform admirably too. I was always in control and the car had a stable feel. On wet roads, the braking distance, although not great, was a lot better than my previous tyre. The tyre is quite durable and after 6000miles of driving the tread looks like new. Previously I had used the Dayton DW510, but they were not as good as these tyres. From my experience, these are a good budget winter tyre, that perform well in the wet, on ice or snow.

Tires meet the basic assumptions for winter tires, they hold well on the curves, both on wet and dry surfaces, there are no situations in which the car would slip at low speeds on difficult surfaces. You can be a bit dissatisfied with the noise result (over 75 mph are quite loud) and t rolling resistance, which affects combustion. In summary, for such money (less than 75 GBP for a set of tires), these are very good tires that work in winter conditions, I would recommend them to people who travel a lot with highways, and roads with a limit of 50 mph as well as people who do not do more than 2000 km in the winter season due to increased combustion.

I like aggressive driving style, but I appraciate also comfort. I do not drive sport way in a dash nor make research on tires. I evaluate tyres as an ordinary user. Well, I think that I need a little better sensation from coercion to add a lot to the price of tires. The tires hold well on wet surfaces - however, more than 2x more expensive Dunlop have better performance than Imperial ones. Durability is difficult to assess for me - not enough time for it. With these tires - carefully with the speed in wet turns. Even with the 4-wheel drive (and 270 HP power) can take out of the bend, which on much more expensive tires I managed to easily defeat Read more Collapse

I highly recommend - mainly through the price / quality ratio, which place quite well. I am definately for these Imperials - it should be mentioned here that the only failure so far in my case occurred after hitting a screwdriver that drove me into the tread - tire patched and goes on. From the point of view - the failure did not result from the tire itself, but from a random event ... but it occurred. To sum up - maybe they do not look like they're special, but they are at least 3 times cheaper to external appearance. The parameters according to my opinion look pretty good – these tires will stay at least 2 seasons with me :-). Read more Collapse

I am very satisfied with the imperial winter tires. My guide is now much more precise and careful: with these tires I get tired a lot less. Very stable cornering, even in those fast 160 km / h. Extremely quiet: I did not expect. And ... will buy another in a hurry. I have not yet found the snow and rain, to give here a complete and objective evaluation ...: I traveled 1000 km in 5 days. But you have behaved in the wet and the dry. Finally, I am sincerely delighted shipping (within 24 hours, I delivered) and the availability of assistants Call Center OPONEO. A good product, senza'altro the SnowDragon 205/40 R17 XL. Read more Collapse

I drove with this tyres whole winter, actually the winter wasn’t harsh, but there was a few snowy days and the tyres were doing well. I was surprised, how the tyre kept well on a dry surface, you can really drive quickly without fear of losing control. On wet surface the tires don’t behave very stable, but with normal quiet driving is enough. I do not know how many millimeters of tread it was at the beginning, but measured it before summer change and it was around 6.7mm and I made about 4000 miles, so the consumption can be seen. I recommend to those who have a low budget and want a new tyres as me. Do not overpay !!!! Read more Collapse

I was afraid to buy this tyre brand whose name I did not recognize. But I researched winter tyres, and the Imperial Snowdragon 3 tyres gained my attention. So I bought them in the middle of the winter season, and these tyres perform well on the road, on both wet and snowy surfaces. I took a trip in my car to the mountains and I found these tyres dealt with heavy snow (up to my headlights) very well, with no problems at all. I drove a few times when the roads were icy and again there were no problems. I thoroughly recommend these tyres to anyone who needs to change their tyres in the winter, but is on a budget.

I was afraid to buy the Imperial Snowdragon 3 tyres, but after reading the views of users I took a chance. I thought they might be "bad tyres", and perhaps should have bought more “premium-branded” tyres. However, after using them for 5 months, I couldn’t be happier with my tyres - I think they were a great buy. They were work perfectly well in deep snow, and even in the mountains – my cabin had a steep snow-covered driveway! I was reluctant to test them in the mountains, in case anything went wrong. But I felt secure and stable on these tyres – my car rode in the snow like a tank. Read more Collapse

These are my first Imperial (economy class) tyres, but I am very positively surprised by their good performance. I drive mainly in the city - especially in winter, but sometimes I balance on the edge, which allows me to get a review about the tires. I have been braking sharply in the city many times this season and I have never had the ABS system turned on, which could indicate that there is no grip on the winter road. But also when entering into demanding curves, the car has constant contact with the surface. To sum up: the price / quality ratio is very good in this case. Read more Collapse

Since I started use these tires, I have driven over 25,000 and there is a slight tread wear on the front axle (visible about 1.0mm). The tires perform well on both dry and wet surfaces. They behave worse on slush but the ride on snowy roads gives both comfort and good grip. They are quiet even at high speeds and the most important thing for me - economic is great. Fuel consumption practically did not increase. As for me, a revelation. I made the purchase decision, among others, after the opinions of customers from OPONEO - Fast and efficient delivery. I would recommend. Read more Collapse

Hello, I bought Imperial tyres in the belief, that in the worst case, I will throw them after one season and I will buy brand used tyres from "grandfather from Germany who only goes to church": D After traveling 4000 miles I found that I am pleasantly surprised by the durability of the tyre, the car keep the road perfectly, the tyres are quiet and did not cause any problem. I am pleasantly surprised by the quality. I bought a summer version from now, we'll see if it's as good as winter one. Read more Collapse

My first winter tyres in 19 inches.The tyre of a reputable manufacturer in this size has an astronomical price.I did over 15 000 miles on the tires during 5 months of use, actually winter was not harsh, but I can still recommend the tyre to anyone who does not want to spend money on tyres from the "top" class, only because of the name of well-know brand. I have only a small reservation about the performance on wet surface, and is not suitable for sliding down - at least in my opinion. Read more Collapse

I recommend these tires very much. For people who do not have much money, in my opinion these are best tyres you can but. Whether ice dry snow -wet road with the tires, I was always on the safe side. It might be a bit noisy but it did not bother me. The tire is now in its second season and the traces of use are hardly visible. I drive a month 1000 - 1500 miles and can only say .... THUMBS UP.

For this price you should not expect miracles from a tyre. Although they behave sensational on snow and mud. The worst part is rain and wet road, tyres lose traction when moving or on tight turns. I used them for a long time, and they have never let me down. If someone drives low and do not want to overpay, I definately recommend these tyres:) Read more Collapse

Taken for the first time, with doubts about the reliability of the brand, I must say that I am satisfied with the quality and performance. From the mountain snowy roads up to wet urban corners, they didn’t let me down, I am very happy with my choice and if the tyres will continue to do their duty, next year will buy a summer equivalent.

Good tyres-for cheap price... Read more Collapse

Although tire cheap, maybe worth the money, but I would not recommend. In dry conditions is to perform well for the price. In the wet, but a bit like a roller coaster, it's best to stick to everything around. The tire has a very low grip in the wet, and not to mention the stopping distance, you just flows. Snow I had no opportunity to test, but in terms of the mud, it is terribly glues doing so well. Tire terribly strong - perhaps in this class is OK, but for me it's a disaster. Booming mercilessly. in terms of rolling resistance, I am also unhappy because the average consumption of car fuel has increased my 1 liter / 100 km. If someone cares for a price and appearance very low, which in total shall not want, but do not look their safety and other road users, it is safe to buy. I do not buy a second time, because my life is always very pleasant. In this situation, saying that sly 2x loses is justified. Read more Collapse

I bought tires without front tires of this company. I relied on the opinions that I find on the Internet. The surprise is that they are quiet. There is no noise and knocking while driving. well they stick to the road. On a wet or dry excel well. There were few opportunities for walking in snow, but from what I experienced this judge them on average. Well not in corners uślizgują while shifting attention needed. Total value for money positively. Read more Collapse

Tire in dry conditions behaves correctly, it is not great, but somehow it is not very bad. button to start wet disc without wheel spin. the snow must be very careful. after a light rain on the S8 to 215 km / h with the liquid turns all 4 tires started uslizgiwac. I do not recommend buying these tires, quality is in place for the price. We pay very little and very little certainty and security get. Bury! Read more Collapse

I bought these tires with a slight apprehension, I did not know this brand as well. But now after driving on them winter (also in the mountains) I can certainly recommend it to others.

Unfortunately tempted me the price and reviews of other users, but the reality is quite different. Tire especially in curves at all does not. The car fleet as if there was no pressure in the tires and traction control lights too often. Przyoszczędzone but it turns out that sneaky lost 2 times and now I have to buy, and so different.

The tires are pretty good at this price, I insist they are among the cheapest tires on the market and I prefer to buy new Chinese and change them in two years than to buy old tires of 5 years with similar money. The tires performed better than the four-year-old Fulda, which cost more than two sets of Imperials. Read more Collapse

I recommend the tires of this company, because for the price it's really worth it, there were no problems during the balancing, as well as during use. On a snowy road, climb without problem. I can recommend them to everyone for ordinary use, but also for a light "fantasy" will suffice. Read more Collapse

I bought 2 tires on the front axle. Nokian on the back. The latter, when mounted on both axles were noisy, less comfortable, and - perhaps - a little more specific on wet surfaces / slippery. But the price difference makes the Imperial unbeatable in the price / performance ratio. Read more Collapse
