satisfactory
Ranked #18 of 19

Finishing 13th out of 19 competitors, the Nokian WR Snowproof P demonstrated a mixed performance in the winter tire evaluation. It was lauded for its dynamic handling on dry roads and notable for its quiet rolling noise and impressive tread life. However, the tire faced criticism for its mediocre lateral grip and tendency to understeer on snowy surfaces. Additionally, its capabilities in preventing aquaplaning were found to be limited. One highlight was its performance in the exterior noise category, where it excelled, contributing to a more pleasant driving experience. Despite these varied results, the tire showed strengths in specific areas, particularly in terms of dry performance and noise level.

Autozeitung Winter tyre test 2022 225/45 R17
recommended for economical driving
Ranked #4 of 8

Securing 4th place out of 8 in the competition, the Nokian WR Snowproof P was awarded the rating of 'Recommended for economical driving.' The tire showcased impressive performance on dry surfaces with its instant steering response, high lateral acceleration, and the shortest braking distances in its class. It also stood out for its very low rolling resistance, which put its competitors to shame. Furthermore, it took the lead in dry braking, exterior noise, comfort, and rolling resistance, highlighting its strengths in these areas. However, its performance during wet conditions revealed some weaknesses, including moderate deceleration, delayed steering response, weak traction, and early signs of aquaplaning. On snow-covered roads, despite some objective traction disadvantages, the Snowproof P was predictable at the limit, although its overall grip did not reach the top level.
