Notable Features
Debica Frigo HP2 is a non-studdable directional winter tire, designed to be fitted on fast and powerful sports cars. Coming at a relatively affordable price, it is characterized by reliable grip and stable handling response on winter roads, high fuel efficiency, and long tread life.
The Debica Frigo HP2 is a new model 2016/2017. It came to replace its predecessor, the Debica Frigo HP model, which back in the day enjoyed a fair bit of popularity among drivers who preferred dynamic driving style. The range of the Frigo HP2 only includes 17 sizes, yet it seems to be enough to cover 83% of the target market segment. The reason for the superior snow traction delivered by this studless tire model is the W-shaped tread pattern, which in addition provides a smoother ride in winter conditions, as well as mutually confluent sipes, and the tread compound of the Frigo HP2, which stays supple under freezing temperatures.
Oh, and by the way, designing the HP2, the engineers of this Goodyear subsidiary used mutually confluent sipes, which hitherto were considered to be the sole prerogative of the premium-class tires.
On snow and ice covered roads, the Frigo HP2 improves on its predecessor’s performance due to a larger number of biting edges. They not only improve the acceleration dynamics on slippery surfaces but also ensure shorter stopping distances.
The Debica Frigo HP 2 better handling response on wet pavement is due to rounded shoulder areas, which significantly reduce the risk of hydroplaning.
Last but not least, the new materials used in the Debica Frigo HP2 construction reduce energy loss and lower a car’s fuel consumption.

Oct 10, 2024Tire Test 2025
Wybór Kierowców: Winter Tire Test R17
Ranked #5th of 6. Debica Frigo HP2Verdict:The Debica Frigo HP2 lands in fifth place, showing a strong aptitude for winter conditions, particularly on snow, where it achieves second place overall, just behind Continental. It performs adequately on wet surfaces but sees its largest drawbacks on dry roads, where its handling and braking are less competitive, often ranking near the bottom. Additionally, it is the loudest tire in this test, which may be a consideration for noise-sensitive drivers. However, with low rolling resistance and an attractive price point, the Frigo HP2 remains a practical choice for those focused on snowy conditions at a budget-friendly cost.

Ranked #18th of 20. Debica Frigo HP2Verdict:The Debica Frigo HP2, ranked 18th and labeled as conditionally recommended, offers commendable performance in snow conditions at an affordable price.

Ranked #6th of 8. Debica Frigo HP2Verdict:Dębica Frigo HP2 has already got used to the low price and good properties in winter conditions. This time it is similar - on snow the tire achieved very good results, even at the premium level. Dębice performs much worse on dry and wet surfaces, but it cannot be said that they are dangerous. They will prove themselves in those parts of the country where you often drive on snow and where you do not develop high speeds on asphalt.

Evidently, it had some serious rivals to compete with. This model’s drawbacks were poor lateral stability and understeer on wet and dry pavement. The loud rolling noise does not add to its attractiveness either.
