Uniroyal WinterExpert
Very good traction on snow for a nice price in a wide range of dimensions. Could use shorter braking distance on dry and better traction on the wet.

sufficient
Ranked #7 of 8
The Uniroyal WinterExpert found itself finishing 7th among 8 competitors, receiving a final rating of 'Sufficient.' Despite its commendable traction in snow and reliable cornering stability on dry asphalt, the tire faced critical shortcomings. It notably suffered from poor driving stability and inadequate grip on wet surfaces, accompanied by worryingly long braking distances on both wet and dry roads. Its sensitivity to load changes during fast corners and noticeable noise inside the cabin while cornering further detracted from its performance. A significant factor in its evaluation was the undue length of braking distances on wet surfaces, placing it far behind the leading products in its category. The Uniroyal WinterExpert, a secondary brand of Conti, notably did not excel in any specific discipline as per the test results.
