Kleber KRISALP HP3

Old but gold, that is how we can pretty much describe the Krisalp HP3. It's a winter tyre that is great on snow for a good price, which is what the average driver is looking for. It's not a premium tyre, but you get a lot of bang for your buck.

satisfactory
Ranked #7 of 17

The Kleber Krisalp HP3 secured the 7th position in a comparison, receiving a final rating of 'satisfactory' due to noticeable weaknesses on both dry and wet surfaces despite its commendable performance on snow and ice, which was highlighted as a strong point. Its proficiency in snow traction stood out as the absolute best among the tested disciplines, earning praise for its capabilities in winter conditions. Additionally, it was recognized for its low fuel consumption, further contributing to its positive attributes. However, the tire's underperformance in dry and wet conditions prevented it from securing a higher rank, leading to the summarized recommendation that, while it has its merits, potential buyers should be aware of its limitations on less icy roads.
