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 can not be properly balanced. He made three workshops and no not face. New tires and behave as having tumors. The only solution is to replace the tire on the other, or get used to. I have a lesson not to buy Chinese tires.

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.

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!

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.

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.
