Ranked #12 of 20
12 out of 20 competitors, final rating 'Good'. The tyre proved a true snow specialist — a "snow king" with absolute top-level performance and best results in longitudinal aquaplaning, snow traction, snow braking, snow handling and snow cornering — but that strong focus on snow left its performance unbalanced, with wet and dry behaviour only just acceptable. It did not finish last in any tested property.
