Auto Bild Sportscars: Winter Tire Test R18
Ranked #11th of 11. Goodride SW608Verdict:The Goodride SW608, ranked eleventh, is not recommended for comprehensive driving needs. Its primary advantages are its affordability and a good level of comfort. However, it significantly underperforms in critical areas affecting safety and handling. It lacks lateral stability on snow, has poor snow handling, and inadequate handling on both wet and dry pavement. Additionally, it exhibits extended braking distances on both wet and dry surfaces, which substantially compromises safety. While its price and comfort are positive aspects, they are outweighed by its inability to provide reliable traction and braking across various surfaces.
