Specifications
STARMAXX ICEGRIPPER W850
STARMAXX ICEGRIPPER W850 195/45R16 84H XL — quality All season tyre from STARMAXX. Reliable grip, stability and durability for everyday driving across all conditions.
How fuel-efficient is this tyre?
On the low side. The STARMAXX ICEGRIPPER W850 has an E rating, the bottom band for fuel economy. Higher rolling resistance means a bit more fuel on a petrol or diesel car, or slightly less range on an EV. Tyres here tend to put their effort into wet braking or hard winter grip instead.
How well does this tyre grip in the wet?
Solid. The STARMAXX ICEGRIPPER W850 sits at class C, the middle of the wet-grip scale. Braking and grip in the rain are reliable for normal conditions; you give up some braking distance to the top grades, but nothing that stands out day to day.
How much road noise does this tyre make?
Average. The STARMAXX ICEGRIPPER W850 measures 71 dB, a typical figure for a modern car tyre. Road noise is there on coarse surfaces but stays within normal, comfortable bounds.
Are these tyres reinforced?
Yes. The STARMAXX ICEGRIPPER W850 carries the XL (Extra Load) marking, which means a stronger casing that takes higher pressures and carries more weight than a standard tyre of the same size. That suits heavier cars, fully loaded driving, vans, and EVs, which run heavier because of their battery packs. To get the full benefit, set the higher pressure the XL rating allows.
Are these tyres certified for snow?
Yes. The STARMAXX ICEGRIPPER W850 carries the 3PMSF mark — the three-peak mountain snowflake — which a tyre only gets after passing an official snow-braking test. It counts as a proper winter tyre in countries where winter tyres are required by law, and it's a real measure of snow performance, not just the softer M+S label that makes no promise about grip.
STARMAXX is a mid-range class manufacturer offering solid-quality tyres with a good balance of price and durability.
