Winter tyre test 215/60 R17 - AutoMotorSport 2016

Excellent snow and wet, good handling, traction and braking.

Worse dry braking, noisier.

Above average winter characteristics, resistance to aquaplaning, safe, short braking distances on snow, wet and dry.

Slightly oversteer on snow and wet, a little worse response management

Convincing in winter conditions, very reliable, on wet and dry

Snow on the rear axle behaves unsteadily

Balanced on snow, wet overwhelming, convincing snow, wet and dry conditions with good maneuverability and high adhesion

Slow response management redeemed higher comfort

Balanced and safe driving on snow, dynamic and stable dry

Deficiencies in the wet braking and cornering. A short stretch on the edge of adhesion.

Safe braking on snow, drought almost sportsmanship

Shortcomings of the yawing and traction on snow. Very long braking distance and light wet oversteer. Deficiencies in aquaplaning.

Excellent winter properties with easy handling and a sporty steering response, average dry

Poor braking performance and susceptibility to hydroplaning on wet roads.

Even with lower power altogether balanced and predictable tire.

Below average traction on snow, deficiencies in aquaplaning

Short braking distances on snow, safe on dry, very quiet tires.

Long braking distance on wet or dry, unreliable snow, poor aquaplaning resistance and high rolling resistance.

Good and safe performance on dry asphalt.

Very bad winter, long braking distances in the wet.
