The tire works perfectly in all weather conditions and combines high grip with low noise and low rolling resistance, its only issue being average resistance to hydroplaning.

This Michelin model has a very strong hydroplaning resistance and ensures excellent handling response on wet pavement. In addition, this tire quickly stops the car on ice, demonstrates a good snow performance, is pretty quiet, delivers a smooth ride, and has a very low rolling resistance. The only issue with it is average dry braking performance.

Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5 is perfect to drive on ice and snow, it has very good dry and wet braking performance, smooth ride, and low rolling resistance. At the same time, there are critical issues with hydroplaning resistance.

The Pirelli Ice Zero FR tire has an excellently balanced performance and ensures great handling response in any weather conditions. At the same time, it was not without issues, such as a relatively long snow braking distance, average hydroplaning resistance, and increased rolling resistance.

The Yokohama iceGUARD iG53 tire has a good snow braking performance and a sufficiently high traction on ice, as well as effectively combats hydroplaning and has low rolling resistance. At the same time, on wet pavement, the Yokohama tire has a long braking distance and poor handling performance, while on dry pavement it is also inferior to some of the competitors in terms of braking capabilities. The tire is also pretty noisy.

On snow, the Cooper WeatherMaster Ice 100 tackles all the challenges in a quite acceptable way, but on ice the grip suddenly goes, which must be borne in mind. The tire also takes forever to stop the car on tarmac — both wet and dry — and is characterized by increased noise and high rolling resistance. To do it justice, one must add that the Cooper tire has a strong hydroplaning resistance.

The list of achievements of the budget Federal Himalaya Iceo tire includes a short braking distance on snow and wet pavement, and very good hydroplaning resistance, but for a Scandinavian tire it has a very poor ice performance. In addition, the tire makes a rather loud noise and is characterized by a very high rolling resistance.
