Positive: Short stopping distance and good lateral stability on ice (but a risk of a skid during an emergency maneuver). Good handling and overall control on snow. Good handling response on asphalt.

Positive: Excellent handling response on ice — the tires maintain dependable grip in any situation, for example, when unexpectedly hitting an ice-covered surface while cornering. Good handling response and high safety level on snow. On wet pavement, the tires keep reliable grip during an emergency maneuver.
Negative: Prone to understeer on dry pavement. Increased rolling resistance.

Positive: Excellent grip and very good handling response on ice. Good handling response on snow (the tires will not bring you any unpleasant surprises in any situation). Good road holding ability.
Negative: Inaccurate steering response and prone to abrupt loss of grip on dry pavement.

Positive: No prominent issues found. Short braking distance and great handling response on ice. The tires ensure reliable grip in any situation. Very good handling response and confident behavior on snow. On dry and wet pavement, the tire’s performance was above average, which can be considered a serious achievement because successfully combining high traction on ice/snow and asphalt is quite a tall order. The steering response was somewhat delayed, but the tires kept up stable grip on the rear axle during an emergency maneuver. Low noise emission. Low rolling resistance.
Negative: The road holding ability could have been better.

Positive: Good overall performance on ice (but if you make an abrupt turn of the steering wheel, the grip on the rear axle is not reliable enough). Confident behavior on snow.
Negative: Long braking distance on snow, dry, and wet pavementInaccurate steering response, and prominently prone to rear axle skid when driving on asphalt. Already an old model, and this is beginning to show through.

Positive: Short braking distance and great handling response on ice. Optimum control in any situation on snow. Good handling response on wet pavement — the steering response is somewhat delayed but the tires ensure stable performance without any unpleasant surprises.
Negative: Prone to grip loss on the rear axle during an emergency maneuver on dry pavement.

Positive: Good traction on ice. Good handling response and reliable grip on wet pavement.
Negative: Relatively long braking distance and prone to oversteer on ice. Prone to oversteer on snow. Delayed steering response and average braking performance on dry pavement.

Positive: Short braking distance on ice (for non-studded tires). Good handling response and high safety level on snow. The tires keep up reliable grip on asphalt during an emergency maneuver (even though the steering response is somewhat inaccurate).
Negative: The steering response on ice is somewhat delayed — but the tires ensure stable performance in any situation. Relatively long braking distance on asphalt.

Positive: Short braking distance on ice. Logic behavior on snow. Short braking distance on dry pavement.
Negative: Insufficient steering feedback and handling response on ice. Delayed steering response on asphalt. High rolling resistance. Unbalanced overall performance.

Positive: Excellent traction and short braking distance on ice. Short stopping distance and good handling response on wet pavement. Low rolling resistance.
Negative: Relatively low lateral stability on ice, due to which the tires may lose grip during an emergency maneuver. Prone to understeer on snowInaccurate steering response on dry pavement (yet the tires tackle emergency maneuvers with no problem).

Positive: Short braking distance on dry pavement.
Negative: Unstable behavior on ice and snow. At first, the tires demonstrate excellent lateral stability and handling response but then they may abruptly lose grip — and may recover it just as abruptly. Very long braking distance, relatively weak lateral stability and inaccurate steering response on wet pavement. Insufficient road holding ability.

Positive: Logic behavior without any unpleasant surprises on snow. Low rolling resistance. On dry pavement, the tires demonstrate delayed response to the driver’s actions, at the same time ensuring dependable grip on the rear axis.
Negative: Unstable behavior on wet pavement. Risk of going into a skid during an emergency maneuver on ice.

Positive: Excellent traction and short braking distance on ice. Good road holding ability.
Negative: Low lateral stability on ice, due to which the tires lose grip on the rear axle during an emergency maneuver. Long braking distance, and prone to skidding on snow. Weak lateral grip on asphalt. High noise emission.

Positive: Good braking efficiency on ice. On dry pavement, the tires ensure confident overall performance, keeping stable grip on the rear axle.
Negative: Prone to grip loss on ice (at high speeds). Inaccurate steering response on wet pavement (but the tires’ overall behavior is stable). Long braking distance on dry pavement.

Negative: Delayed steering response on ice and snow (but the grip is rather strong). Poor grip and insufficient handling response on dry and wet pavement — the tires have problems tackling emergency maneuvers. High rolling resistance.

Positive: Good handling response on snow (but the grip is generally lower than that of the leaders). Well-balanced behavior and short braking distance on dry pavement.
Negative: Prone to understeer on ice and wet pavement.

Positive: Acceptable handling response on snow (but the tires may lose grip too suddenly). Acceptable handling on wet pavement (even though the tires demonstrate a slightly delayed response to the driver’s actions).
Negative: Poor longitudinal grip on ice (lateral stability is slightly better). Poor traction and inaccurate steering response on dry pavement.

Negative: Poor grip on ice, both longitudinal and lateral. On ice, prone to skidding both on front and rear axles. Poor grip on snow during an emergency maneuver. Long braking distance and lack of control on dry and wet pavement. Insufficient road holding ability. Increased rolling resistance.

Positive: Very high braking efficiency on wet and dry pavement. Very quick and accurate steering response on wet pavement (almost like summer tires); on dry pavement the situation is even better.
Negative: Very weak traction on ice. The tires can suddenly go into a skid, taking forever to recover grip and bring the car to a standstill. When cornering on snow, the tires on the front axle quickly lose grip, after which the rear wheels go into a skid as well. Insufficient road holding ability.

Positive: Stable behavior on snow, including during emergency maneuvers (although the frip could be stronger). Short braking distance and good lateral stability on wet pavement (but delayed steering response). Stable behavior and short braking distance on dry pavement.
Negative: On ice, the tires lose grip too suddenly, which is detrimental to handling response. Insufficient road holding ability. High rolling resistance. Increased noise.

Positive: Very short braking distance on wet pavement.
Negative: The grip on ice is virtually nonexistent, and the car keeps on drifting to different sides. On snow, the situation is just as bad. Poor lateral stability, delayed steering response, and unstable behavior on wet pavement (on dry pavement the situation slightly improves).
