outstanding
Ranked #1 of 10
1 out of 10 competitors — final rating: Outstanding. The tyre proved the class leader for winter use, offering reliable, safe performance on snow and outstanding wet adhesion that delivered the shortest braking distances and excellent cornering grip; it also recorded top braking and handling on dry asphalt. Comfort is slightly compromised, feeling a bit choppy over transverse joints, but there were no areas where it finished last. It was absolutely best in snow braking, lateral guidance on snow, snow traction and handling, wet braking, wet side guidance and wet handling, longitudinal and cross aquaplaning resistance, dry braking, dry lane changing and steering response, dry handling and comfort.
