Ranked #12 of 20

Finishing 12th among 20 competitors, the Uniroyal WinterExpert tire was awarded a final rating of 'Satisfactory.' The tire gained recognition for its balanced handling on both snowy and wet surfaces, alongside an impressive price-performance ratio. However, its performance was marked by extended braking distances on dry roads, highlighting an area for potential improvement. Notably, there were no specific disciplines where the tire outperformed all others, nor were there categories in which it ranked last, underscoring its overall satisfactory and balanced performance in varied winter conditions.
