Excellent performance on ice Very good handling on snow
Long braking distance on wet pavement Low resistance to longitudinal aquaplaning
Nokian still outperforms its competitors on ice, and they also have excellent results on snow, however, the emphasis on improving winter performance has negatively impacted the qualities of the tires on wet surfaces
Excellent handling on dry and wet surfaces Very high resistance to longitudinal aquaplaning
Relatively weak results on ice Increased noise
On ice, Pirelli lags behind some other premium-class tires, and they also have a fairly high noise level. The tires show their best qualities on asphalt, including wet.
Good handling on asphalt High resistance to longitudinal aquaplaning
Poor performance on ice and snow Very high noise level
On both dry and wet asphalt, Nexen provide good handling, but they clearly lack traction on snow and, especially, on ice, and besides, this is a very noisy tire
Good longitudinal traction on snow Short braking distance on wet pavement Very low noise level
Very poor performance on ice Not good enough handling on snow and dry surface
The main drawback of Triangle is an openly weak grip on ice, both when accelerating and braking, as well as when cornering. On snow and asphalt, the situation is better
Good longitudinal grip on snow Short braking distance on dry pavement
Very weak results on ice Not good enough handling in any conditions Long braking distance on wet pavement
While on asphalt the overall results of Goodride can still be considered acceptable, on ice the traction is very low, which strongly affects the handling
