Finishing 17th out of 19 competitors, the Uniroyal WinterExpert struggled in a key winter tire evaluation. Although it boasted impressive winter capabilities and a low rolling resistance, its performance was marred by significant drawbacks. The tire was criticized for its delayed steering response and a strong tendency towards understeer in both wet and dry conditions. Additionally, it had extended braking distances on both wet and dry surfaces which impacted its overall performance negatively. Despite these challenges, the Uniroyal WinterExpert stood out in specific disciplines, showcasing the best rolling resistance, snow handling, and snow traction among the tested tires, demonstrating a mixed performance with clear areas of strength and improvement.
