Very good performance in any conditions Good ride smoothness and low noise level Very low rolling resistance
Relatively low resistance to lateral aquaplaning
Tires have an impressive balance of characteristics, combining a high level of safety in any conditions with comfort and economy, and it would be nice to improve only the resistance to aquaplaning in a turn
Good performance on dry pavement Good handling on wet pavement Very high resistance to aquaplaning Excellent performance on snow and ice Excellent ride smoothness Low rolling resistance
Relatively long braking distance on a wet road
Except for not the highest efficiency on a wet surface, Goodyear has excellent driving qualities, which are combined with good ride comfort and a sufficiently low rolling resistance
Excellent performance on dry and wet asphalt High traction and good handling on snow Good handling on rough ice Excellent ride comfort Low rolling resistance
On smooth ice, the traction leaves much to be desired Weak resistance to lateral aquaplaning
Although Nokian tyres are usually made with an emphasis on snowy and icy road performance, the R5 had outstanding results on asphalt this time, but reduced grip on smooth ice, and a similar set of features is not very suitable for northern winter tyres.
Very short braking distance on snow Excellent traction and braking performance on ice
Very weak performance on dry pavement Long braking distance and overall weak grip on wet pavement Increased rolling resistance
The Michelin X-Ice Snow is already showing signs of aging, and it particularly noticeably lags behind more modern models on asphalt, both dry and wet. At the same time, on snow and ice, Michelin still shows itself from the best side
Long braking distance and overall poor performance on wet surfaces Negatively affect handling in any conditions Very poor results on ice High rolling resistance
Although the tires are designed for northern winter, the grip on snow and ice is clearly not the highest, i.e. Marshal is unlikely to be worthy of recommendation
