Ranked #4 of 20
4th out of 20 competitors — final rating: Good. The tyre proved a strong value-for-money option with a standout performance on snow and confident grip on wet pavement, and it carries a 270 km/h speed approval; testers only found it slightly slower in dry handling. It was absolutely best in snow handling and did not place last in any measured property.
