Winter tire test size 225/50 R17 from the publisher Teknikens 2021 p.

In this year's big test in Teknikens V?rld, 18 models from three categories - studded and snow tyres of both the Scandinavian and European types - were tested. As always, the focus was on new tyre models and this year there were several high-profile launches. Among them were the studded Nokian Hakkapeliitta 10 (for Russia, the Hakkapeliitta 10p model was designed with longer studs) and the Goodyear UltraGrip Arctic
