good
Ranked #7 of 10
7th of 10, final rating 'Good'. The tyre showed comparatively low grip across all snow tasks and had noticeable trouble on snowy roads, while delivering strong grip in wet corners, confident braking and good aquaplaning resistance; the pronounced front-axle grip can provoke load-change oversteer. On dry surfaces it offered secure braking and an easily controllable, reserve-rich handling balance, but rolling felt rough and tread noise was prominent. No disciplines where it was clearly best; no properties where it finished last.

8 out of 12 — finished with a final rating of 'Good'; it proved outstanding on snow, delivering the best snow braking and snow cornering performance and high comfort with strong lateral grip and top cone‑slalom handling, but was hampered by noticeably longer wet braking distances and a higher rolling resistance.
