In the reviews, users confirm the low noise level and predictability of this rubber on ice. On snowy areas, the presented model demonstrates good traction properties. Also, Gazelle drivers note that these wheels can withstand overload with confidence.

Excellent performance and affordable price make the Triangle Group all-season tire practical for Gazelle and light truck owners.Chinese experts have focused on the quality of the rubber compound and reinforced carcass, which made it possible to increase the wear resistance of this model in difficult conditions.

Many owners of Gazelle and Sobol commercial vehicles choose domestic Kama-301 rubber, designed for year-round use. According to the results of the test in 2008, conducted by the publishing house "Autoreview", the presented tire demonstrates the best performance in handling and braking on snow. The behavior of the model on dry pavement is a little less than excellent. According to the reviews of the owners, all-season tires demonstrate good speed characteristics and confidently hold turns. Among the shortcomings, the low quality of the cord fabric and the fragility of the sidewalls are distinguished, which significantly affects the service life.

The Forward Professional 600 all-season tire for minibuses and light-duty vehicles is characterized by an optimal price-quality ratio. The gazelle, shod with this rubber, demonstrates optimal dynamism and braking performance, regardless of the season.

The choice of the all-season model Satoya Cargo S for commercial trips by Gazelle car is economically justified.This tire was created taking into account the peculiarities of operation in freight transport, for which the manufacturer reinforced the carcass structure with a steel cord. This provided the rubber with increased load capacity and resistance to damage. Numerous blocks and sipes that form a dense pattern of sharp edges, combined with a modified sidewall tread, made it possible to significantly increase the contact patch and change its shape. This provided the Chinese rubber Satoya Cargo S with optimal grip, allowing you to feel confident both in summer and winter.

Inner construction of Maxmiler WT2 winter tires consists of alternating two layers of steel and one nylon cord. Thanks to this, the tire has not only excellent load capacity, but also excellent handling. The composition of the rubber compound demonstrates wear resistance that is beneficial to the owner.

Rubber nurses for several seasons, working far from easy conditions for using commercial vehicles. Tires provide acceptable handling, behave well in summer conditions and off-season, but in winter only new tires or low mileage give confidence on the road. As the tread wears out, stability is noticeably reduced, which requires the driver to have due skill and attention. Cracks are often observed in the side part, but, most likely, the reason is not only the aging of the rubber, but also the banal overload.

Wet and snowy road for Toyo Observe Van is no problem. The Nano Balance rubber compound preparation technology and reinforced carcass, coupled with high quality workmanship, eliminate wear unevenness, give the tire sufficient rigidity so that the Gazelle feels confident in corners. The bridges between the tread blocks also contribute to this - they provide good longitudinal grip and directional stability. Low rolling resistance saves fuel. At the same time, the wide shoulder part further reduces the braking distance. Owners, comparing tires with Chinese counterparts, prefer Observe Van in winter, as the tire wears out slowly even in difficult conditions.
