Autobild Winter tyre test 2022 215/55 R17 satisfactory Ranked #18 of 19Finishing 13th out of 19 competitors, the Nokian WR Snowproof P demonstrated a mixed performance in the winter tire evaluation. It was lauded for its dynamic handling on dry roads and notable for its quiet rolling noise and impressive tread life. However, the tire faced criticism for its mediocre lateral grip and tendency to understeer on snowy surfaces. Additionally, its capabilities in preventing aquaplaning were found to be limited. One highlight was its performance in the exterior noise category, where it excelled, contributing to a more pleasant driving experience. Despite these varied results, the tire showed strengths in specific areas, particularly in terms of dry performance and noise level.
