The Kleber Krisalp HP2 receives highly polarized feedback, with users divided between those who appreciate its longevity and value in light winter conditions and those who report significant safety concerns regarding wet-weather performance. While some drivers find them competent for budget-conscious winter driving, a notable portion of the user base describes the compound as overly hard, leading to unpredictable handling in rain and snow.
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.
By owner reviews
51/100From 16 owner reviews analysed, scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70.

Pros
- High tread longevity and wear resistance

Cons
