7
Kumho I Zen KW31
Good braking on dry asphalt.
The longest braking distance on wet asphalt, slow speed on the ice circle
As a winter tire - not very impressive.

8
Dunlop Winter Maxx WM01
Smooth ride on a twisty icy track

Good braking on dry asphalt
short braking distance on wet asphalt
The worst rolling resistance test result
