GT Radial Champiro WinterPro HP Tire Review & Rating

The Champiro WinterPro HP from GT Radial is a low-cost winter tire intended for use on high performance sports cars, luxury sedans, and sporty coupes. The tire is available in a wide range of sizes and two speed ratings and is intended to optimize performance in severe winter weather conditions as well as increase the handling on wet or dry cold road surfaces.

The tread compound on the Winter Pro HP has been engineered with a unique sunflower oil compound, which can help enhance grip in colder temperatures by keeping the tire flexible. Another benefit to this type of compound is that it generally lowers braking distances for improved safety.

An asymmetric tread pattern features three wide, circumferential grooves which work to channel away water and reduce the risk of hydroplaning on wet roads. These grooves have been cross-cut laterally to further improve grip and handling in all types of road conditions.

This tire is available in sizes ranging from 16-20 inches and comes with either an H or V-speed rating. GT Radial also includes a limited tread warranty.

Pros

• Excellent traction on snow and ice
• Relatively quiet for a winter tire
• Lower cost is appealing to budget-conscious drivers

Cons

• Add to ride comfort

Overall Thoughts

In most cases, even budget winter tires will offer a significant performance increase when compared to stock all-season tires. If you’re looking for value-priced tires to give you the extra traction and handling needed to make it through a rough winter-without spending an arm and a leg… the WinterPro HP series is a fine choice.

The tire performs as expected on snow and ice, and the aggressiveness of traction can be further improved with the inclusion of studs. While this will certainly increase pattern noise and reduce ride comfort, user reports indicate that prior to studding the tire is surprisingly quiet for a winter tire.

Compared to similar tires in its class, this tire performs well under winter driving conditions, and reliably bites into snow, slush, and ice. However, do not expect an incredibly smooth ride as its ride comfort is a bit low, even for a winter tire.

If you have a limited budget for winter tires, the WinterPro HP is going to save you some good money while also keeping you safer out on the road. Overall they are a good option in winter tires.
