Ranked #5 of 50
Securing a commendable 5th place among 50 competitors, the Nokian Wetproof tire stood out for its balanced performance, excelling on both wet and dry surfaces, and its efficiency. Despite its positive attributes, it was noted for its environmental footprint shortcomings, such as lower than anticipated tread life and wear, and minor sustainability concerns. Its driving safety features were highlighted, with strong performance on dry roads, providing excellent steering feedback, safety at the limit, and impressive braking distances. Its performance on wet roads was also praised, with good ratings in braking tests, longitudinal aquaplaning, and handling, though its lateral aquaplaning performance only achieved a satisfactory rating. On the environmental side, its efficiency gained a good rating due to its light tire weight and low fuel consumption, but it received only a satisfactory mark for its environmental impact based on tread life and wear. Overall, the Nokian Wetproof was awarded a final rating of 'Good'.
