Gripmax Status Pro Winter

What owners say

No road-test results yet, so every score here comes from owner reviews found online.

How scores work
Relative score
0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
Road tests
0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
Owner reviews
0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.

The Gripmax Status Pro Winter is widely regarded as a high-value winter tire that delivers impressive performance across varied cold-weather conditions, including snow, slush, and wet roads. While most users report excellent comfort and reliability, there are isolated reports of structural integrity issues over extended multi-year usage.

Pros

  • Exceptional value for the price point
  • Strong traction in snow, mud, and wet conditions
  • High levels of ride comfort and low noise
  • Consistent performance in temperatures below 7°C

Cons

  • Potential for structural deformation or bubbling after long-term use
  • Vibration issues reported as tires age
  • Durability concerns when used outside of dedicated winter seasons

Worth knowing

  • Users running staggered setups (240/40R20 front and 275/35R20 rear) reported structural issues after several years of use.
  • The tire performs reliably for low-to-moderate annual mileage users (5k-10k miles per season).
