What is a Touring tire?
Touring tires are everyday tires that put value, comfort and wear first. They give up some of the wet and dry performance of the premium options in exchange for a lower price.
Winter tires use soft, high-silica compounds and heavy siping that keep working below roughly 7C, on snow and on ice. The category spans three different products - Central European, Nordic friction and studded tires - built for different winters.

What drivers say about Van Winter Touring Tires
The most recent owner reviews from this category, in their own words.
Bought these for my 3.5 ton horse box They have had to deal with a fully loaded x2 horses and empty, loaded the feedback is very good you know what the tires are up to in dry and wet, recently shush icy roads they stop and grip very well with good feedback, drove right past cars stuck in the snow and icy conditions. To early to say what the wear rate is 600 miles driven.
I have the snow max 2 on my Ford transit 2.2 TDCI 155. They are doing impeccable well. The van is always loaded. These are a 8 ply commercial tire.
Would I buy again? Yes I will in deed.

The wintus tires fitted to my Toyota hi ace have improved the drive-ability in snow and rain and are equal in the dry to the Michelin agilis that were on previously.puncture resistance and low wear have both been incredible and I will replace the old ones after more than 25000 miles for next winter
On dry road they're good, but on the wet road are awful. Dangerous. No grip.
They are to noisy too. I will never buy them again.
They are to noisy too. I will never buy them again.
My tires have made an enormous difference in the winter snow and better than the michelin agilis in wet or damp spring and autumn conditions0 25000 miles completed to date and still ok on my hi ace van.just got my first puncture. Will buy again.
Slightly noisy, and stiffer, penalty paid for excellent grip in wet and snow.
No appreciable wear yet.

| Tire | On the market since | TR Score |
