Royal Black Royal AS Tire Review - Cheapest Best All Weather Winter Tires Ever?

Are Royal Black tires any good, does Royal Black make good tires, and are Royal AS tires with the snowflake good enough for winter driving? Those are questions we answer in this video.
Are cheap Chinese tires as good as domestic tires from Uniroyal, BFGoodrich, Michelin, and Nokian?
There's not very much information on Royal Black or on cheap Chinese tires anywhere on the Internet so we decided to buy some Royal Black all season / all weather tires with the winter snowflake on them and test them out. We were very impressed.
I sourced these tires in Calgary from canadatirepro.com/ and had them installed at Edel Tires, just around the corner.

Really helpful and fun but helpful informative video. Seeing the tyres perform on the various road conditions was great to watch. I hadn't known of Royal Black A S tyres, so will be looking to have a set of these.

[@affordablecommunications8710]

Great honest review, I think I might purchase a set for my 2008 Grand Caravan.

[@URTechDotCa]

Mine are still great :)

[@gustavovasquez4791]

Great info thanks

[@URTechDotCa]

I'm glad you found it useful. There is frustratingly little information on RoyalBlack. If you buy some please check back in and let everyone know how they worked for you. thanks Gustavo

Good video.. Even I am looking to buy for only an year or two and stumbled across these tires.. How is your experience during this winter now that it is getting over..

What are your thoughts about these tires for an SUV? I have a ford escape and I am wondering about changing from all season to winter tires.

[@URTechDotCa]

Hi Mike - These a W rated (ie. 6000 lbs total) so they should have noooo problems with an SUV - If you do get them, please let us know what you think of them. There is so little info on Royal Black tires, I am sure others would find your comments useful :)

[@space_114v2]

Just picked up a set of these exact tires today for my 05 Cayenne ..... Lets see how they go .... I too will report back on my findings. They do get good ratings on the web ... We shall see.

[@URTechDotCa]

I would love to hear your thoughts. I really was surprised at how quiet they are and how they stuck to to the road.

[@space_114v2]

Well after a month they have been excellent ..... The tire feels good in all conditions no traction issues and as they scrub in and get more use on them they so far are performing great !!

[@rubenkotze74]

​@@space_114v2 How are the tyres holding up? Am thinking of putting them on my porsche boxster 987

[@URTechDotCa]

@@space_114v2 That has been my experience too. Not the best on wet ice, but excellent on snow and gritty ice

[@harmindersingh8829]

From you got them?

[@myacousticlounge]

Hi, I’m considering a set of these for my daughters Elantra. Now that you’ve spent a winter on them can you tell me how they’re holding up? Also, I’m in Calgary and curious where you were able to get these tires locally?

[@ophelion619]

Website link for purchase is on the description.

[@FaheemBhanji]

They will do fine I use these same tires in Calgary on a Nissan Versa Note and a Honda Accord. No issues and they handle great. Way better then the Michelin X Ice I have on my Lexus lol. these are around $60-80 Canadian a tire plus install

[@silicaskynet3401]

How much range did you lose with these tires on your EV? Can we get an update in the spring/summer on their performance?

[@URTechDotCa]

I didn't notice any range loss. I suppose there must have been some because they are not LOW ROLLING RESISTANCE rubber, but 97% of my trips are less than 75 k's (50 miles) so even trying measure the loss would be academic

[@skp179]

Thanks buddy it’s help me and I save $50 on same tires.
