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