Ovation W 586 Owner Reviews

Review this tire

What owners say summarised from 6 reviews

The Ovation W 586 divides its six owners, with three positive reviews, one neutral and two negative, averaging 61.8%. Snow traction and wet grip are the most repeated positives, each praised by two owners, rather than a majority view. One end-of-life account reports poor dry handling and strong vibration, while separate owners mention vague steering and increased fuel consumption. Each of these complaints comes from just one person, so none establishes a consistent weakness across the group. With only one mid-life and one end-of-life review, there is too little agreement to judge tread life or how grip changes with wear.

I LITERALLY JUST BOUGHT THESE TIRES TODAY AS MY CURRENT WINTER TIRES WERE RUN DOWN AND LIKE 13 YEARS OLD. (MICHELIN X ICE) GREAT TIRES BUT TOO EXPENSIVE. ANYWAY WHERE I LIVE THERE IS A WINTER WARNING AS WE JUST HAD FROZEN RAIN LAST NIGHT, THE STOVE HOME WITH THESE TIRES WERE PRETTY COMFY AND STOP RATING WAS PRETTY GOOD ALSO. THE ONLY THING CURRENTLY I'M NOT TO FOND OF IS THE TIRE FEEDBACK ON THE ROAD, JUST FELT LIKE I LOSE A BIT OF PERFORMANCE (I KNOW.... THEY ARE WINTERS BUT STILL, WITH THOSE MICHELINS I HAD B4 I DIDN'T)I JUST REALLY WANT TO SEE HOW THEY DO IN 10 TO 30CM OF SNOW SO I WILL DO AN ADDITIONAL REVIEW ONCE I GET TO DRIVE IN ALL THE TYPES OF WINTER DAYS WE GET HERE IN T.O. BUT AS OF RIGHT NOW I GIVE THEM A TOTAL OF 5 OUT OF 10

In winter conditions I was amazed on how well these tires performed, as they never missed a beat. The grip in snow and wet conditions wat remarkable. I drive a high performance car and rely on the tires in all conditions. I would highly recommend.

I purchased these from place called limitless tire in Toronto last year, we're not bad at all. I was so surprised by the performance why should we buy such expensive tires, while ovations winter tires works perfectly fine. Good buy, will buy again.

Put these tires on the car last winter, didn't really have any snow and the weather was fairly mild, so really didn't test the tires in bad conditions, didn't notice much difference in the dry weather, slightly better wet grip, and appeared good on ice as compared to factory fitted all season tires. Petrol consumption did suffer with a loss of approx 5 miles per gallon.
