An exemplary premium-class tire characterized by excellent snow traction, precise steering response, short braking distances on snow and wet pavement, good ride comfort, and low rolling resistance. Disadvantage: high price.

A tire with a very well balanced performance that ensures short stopping distances on snow and wet pavement, as well as crisp handling response in any weather conditions. This Hankook model also comes at an attractive price; one of its few disadvantages is an average ride comfort.

A premium-class tire that ensures excellent handling response in any weather, and is characterized by low noise emission and low rolling resistance. At the same time, this Continental model comes at a fairly high price.

This Michelin model combines very strong snow grip with excellent dry handling response (and low noise emission), but it has a relatively long wet stopping distance, and it comes at a fairly expensive price.

This Falken model is packed with cool features, such as good snow performance, short braking distance in any weather conditions, good handling response on dry pavement, low noise emission, and attractive price. At the same time, it was not without weaknesses: this Falken tire is prone to understeer on wet pavement, and it has strong rolling resistance.

This Vredestein tire allows you to quickly accelerate and stop the car on snow; on tarmac, it ensures good handling performance and crisp steering response. At the same time, however, this tire is prone to understeer on snow, and it also has strong rolling resistance, which directly affects fuel consumption by the vehicle.

This Cooper tire delivers an impressive snow performance, and it also ensures a smooth and noiseless ride. Its weaknesses include long dry and wet braking distances, less-than-perfect grip, being prone to understeer on dry pavement, and increased rolling resistance.

This inexpensive Maxxis tire has a short snow braking distance and has a strong hydroplaning resistance. At the same time, there were some complaints about its handling response on snow and dry braking, as well as about its braking performance on tarmac. In addition, this Maxxis tire is characterized by increased rolling resistance.

This cheap Minerva tire has a good handling response on dry pavement, and it is pretty quiet, but that about wraps it up for its list of strong sides: the tire has a dangerously long braking distance on all types of surfaces, and has a very poor snow and wet handling performance due to fuzzy steering response. In addition, this Minerva model has poor hydroplaning resistance.
