Dacia Sandero Stepway Mk3 Tires

These tires are impressive. I have tested them in all-weather conditions, from the scorching heat in summer (air temperature up to 38°C), to a torrential rainfall, to spring/autumn temperatures, and to the cold winter temperatures. Plus, I have tested them in snow and ice.
- Scorching heat: in summer temperatures and in the dry, they perform well, with good grip, good braking and low understeer.
- Wet: as the tests revealed, these tires have outstanding aquaplaning resistance, with no significant issues even at high speed. I have always had good grip on wet conditions.
- Mid-seasons temperatures: when temperatures start to fall to around 15°C, these tires get even better than in summer, showing a slightly better grip in all conditions.
- Winter: these tires shine in winter. They are clearly winter-oriented, as as soon as the temperatures get near freezing level, the grip rises even more.
- Snow: I have tested them on around 15cm of snow. Amazing tires. It truly felt like I was driving in the dry. I had no issues whatsoever, and the car movements were literally the same as in the dry. I didn't even need to adjust my driving to the snow.
- Ice: To my biggest surprise, I was able to move effortlessly even in ice! It felt like I was driving in the snow... the car moved forward, laterally, and in reverse gear without any issue. It felt like I was using winter tires.
In conclusion, these tires are outstanding, and they give their best in snow/ice and winter conditions, even if they are definitely good also in summer and mid-season weather. I do recommend them!

Probably the best thing to say is that after putting these on in September that I have felt no difference in handling, noise or stopping distance. I have however found them outstanding in heavy rain on country roads. 2 inches of snow on an incline no problem. Ice grip was a little less, although massively better than any summer tire would be. Great tires for a regular family hatchback where cornering on the edge at speed isnt so important. Safety and security for family motpring.
