2022 ViBilagare Nordic SUV Winter Tire Test P8 of 8
One of the cheapest tires on the market is the Snowleopard LX from Chinese Mazzini. It is notable by an unusually rough pattern. In addition to good aquaplaning properties, it provides good grip in the snow - in any case, starting grip and braking distance. The cornering grip, on the other hand, is far from the best, but the tire is honest and warn early on about the poor grip. On ice the grip is close to non-existing. The braking distance is long and it looses the grip early already at very low cornering speeds. In the dry, the steering feel is better than feared the open pattern considered, although in a crisis situation the tire can only turn in one direction. When you have to steer back, the pattern has folded and gives strong understeering. Loud road noise that grows to high pattern singing with light steering, cementing an already clear last place.

I just made a road trip through Canada of almost 14,000km. Ontario to Artic circle to okanogan BC back to Ontario with snow leopard tires 235 55 R17 on my Ford Escape 2018. These tires never got a flat. Nothing. The Dempster hwy is famous for destroying tires. Canada roads are no joke. One stretch alone was 6 hours without seeing another vehicle. No pavement. No nothing. These Snow leopard tires blew me away. On every expectation from a tire. These exceeded. I'm 53. I'm not new to the roads. I'm well experienced And lived in the Yukon Territory for 22 years. Amazing tires. Great job Mazzini tires/Snow Leopard.
