Ranked #2 of 20
2nd of 20 — final rating: Exemplary. The tyre stood out for excellent comfort and very low exterior noise while delivering outstanding traction and confident cornering on snow; testers praised its high traction and lateral guidance and its strong price–performance balance. The only notable drawback was a slightly longer braking distance on dry surfaces. It did not place last in any measured property.
