Ranked #14 of 16
The Barum Polaris 5 finished 14th out of 16 competitors, securing a final rating of 'Sufficient'. Though the tyre demonstrated some strengths, such as low fuel consumption and wear, along with good performance on snow, it was notably hindered by its weaknesses. Those include significant challenges on icy, wet, and dry surfaces which led to its overall performance being deemed only conditionally recommendable. Interestingly, within specific disciplines, it showcased an exceptional capability in snow braking, which stood out as its prime area of proficiency. However, the mentioned areas of weakness curtailed its appeal, indicating that while it could be a viable option under certain conditions, it may not be the most reliable choice across all winter instances.
