Winter tire slush test size 205/55 R16 from the publisher Авторевю 2021 p.

In 2021, the pandemic prevented Autorévue from holding the next set of tire tests in Finland, so the tires were compared at the Dmitrov test site, with the number of participating tires reduced to five and only the premium segment covered, with middle-range Hankook being the only representative. All test results are available on the magazine’s website.
