Comparison: Nokian WetProof vs. Kleber Dynaxer HP4 vs. Firestone Roadhawk 2 vs. Goodyear Efficientgrip 2 SUV

Today, we are comparing two popular seasonal tyres: the Nokian WetProof and the Kleber Dynaxer HP4. Manufactured by Nokian and Kleber respectively, these tyres provide safe, comfortable, and efficient summer driving.

Let's first delve into the Nokian WetProof. This tyre is noted by our experts for its balanced performance on both dry and wet roads. Also showing exemplary efficiency, it is constructed in Finland and does not have a successor as of yet. In the opinion of our testers, the tyre's downfalls lie in its environmental footprint, tread life, and sustainability. These factors lead to it earning an overall rating of 68% in our assessments.

Some of its remarkable standings in mutual tests include the 6th place out of 18 tyres in ADAC and a similar 6th place out of 53 tyres in AutoBild. AutoBild 2019 commends the tyre for being "balanced, good on dry and wet road, and efficient" but also mentions weaknesses in tread life, wear, and sustainability.

Turning to the Kleber Dynaxer HP4, this model boasts a higher average score of 74% by our reviewers, despite its undisclosed country of production. Praised for its stellar environmental footprint and performance in terms of tread life, abrasion, and efficiency, the tyre's weak points come to light on wet roads. However, it showcases good aquaplaning properties, short dry and wet braking distances, and comfortable and quiet ride, as noted in AutoBild 2022. AutoBild 2019 mentions that the tyre is "not quite balanced, weak on wet road", underlining its average wet surface performance.

The Dynaxer HP4 ranks 10th and 14th in the ADAC and AutoBild tests respectively. Its high ranking is bolstered by its excellent comfort, exterior noise level, and the fact that it does not have a predecessor model.

In conclusion, the Nokian WetProof shines when it comes to balanced performance and efficiency but falls short in terms of environmental impact and sustainability. On the other hand, the Kleber Dynaxer HP4 impresses with its environment-friendliness and longevity, but needs to tackle its performance on wet surfaces. In light of mutual test positions, the Nokian WetProof takes the lead in rankings, but the choice between these two tyres would ultimately be defined by the specific needs of the driver.
