Bridgestone Blizzak LM-005

A great winter tyre with balanced handling characteristics. Great in the wet, but slightly less durable than newer models.

2.7/5

Falken Eurowinter HS02 Pro

EuroWinter HS02 is very good and quite sporty on dry and wet, but lacks some performance on the snow which is the reason for the not so good test results. Weaknesses in aquaplaning and rolling resistance doesn't help either.
