If you enjoy sporty driving in winter conditions, the PA5 SUV is the go-to tyre. It's usually the best in the snow in all the tests, while maintaining balance and safety in other conditions. Only downside is high rolling resistance, which is why it hasn't won all the tests it was in.

A great winter tyre with balanced handling characteristics. Great in the wet, but slightly less durable than newer models.

Wintrac Pro is a winter option from a dutch manufacturer that is getting a bit outdated, but on wet and dry roads it still holds up with the premium segment. It has some
minor weaknesses on snow, but for a lower than premium price it could be a good deal.
