ESKIMO HP 2

<p>I only used them in winter for the worst 3 months moutain roads heavy snow, after 2 years they are still very good. Much better snowgrip then i expected, they are a bit harder to push hard because of not great feedback but I would buy again</p>

Very good tyre that still holds on after 5 seasons and over 45.000kms. The tread is still good for another season.
Ice grip is good, snow grip is even better. Dry braking is good. In dry corners, the sidewall tends to bend to the point that you think the rim is going to touch the ground, which may give an unpleasant feeling and also a lack of security, but the car stays on its projected trajectory. Noise level is pleasant. Rubber compound is still soft to the touch even after all these years. The outer tread is prone to visual damages that look like punctures, but they are not, and they have no impact on the driving whatsoever.
Definitely gets a recommend, though i think they are more suitable for less heavier cars.

Great tyre for snowy winter conditions, driven through lots of snow and no issues whatsoever

As for these tires, grip on both dry and wet surfaces isn't too bad. They hold the road decently, but they can surprise you at times when the car is at the limit of grip. Sometimes it results in significant understeering, and other times oversteering, which can be fun as the car nicely aligns for corner exit. The downside is that this happens at relatively lower speeds than initially expected. Comfort is quite satisfactory; they are a bit firmer than the Eskimo S3+. Tire wear is at expected levels, and so far, they’ve worn very little, even after covering about 19,000 km. The tires aren't too noisy, even at speeds between 130 and 140 km/h

This is initial review of mine (only 500km). I have ridden dozens of winter tires in past 30 years and have tested even more since I was working in automotive industry for 25 years.
So far haven’t tested them on snow and ice but i do on dry and wet roads 0-7C
These tires on dry road are average at best. They are wallowy and have poor lateral grip although they hold decent speeds before they start loosing grip. They are very imprecise and often need correction while in curve.
Wet performance is below average it was even worse experience than on dry roads.
I hope they will perform better on snow and ice since Sava Eskimo S3+ was better than most premium tires at those conditions.
