Nokian) against a tyre from a manufacturer from France (
Michelin). Generally,
Michelin summer tyres are slightly better rated (84%) than
Nokian (60%). In this particular case, the Michelin ALPIN 7 has a better rating of 83% compared to 59% of the Nokian WetProof. The first tyre test of Nokian WetProof was done in 2019, compared to 2025 when was the Michelin ALPIN 7 first tested. When it comes to comparison, eu labels can be also interesting - 100% of Nokian WetProof has A wet grip rating, whereas 100% of Michelin ALPIN 7 has B rating. If you wonder where the tyres in question are made, the
WetProof is made in Finland and
ALPIN 7 is made in Spain/Germany.
