This tire stood out for its exceptional durability, receiving top marks in this aspect, and showed commendable capabilities on snow and ice, marking it as a reliable choice for winter conditions. However, it was noted for its shortcomings on wet surfaces, which led to a downgrade in its overall assessment.
