Description / Recommendations
Cost
1
Good balance of characteristics
Increased rolling resistance
from 17 510 ₽
2
Excellent results on snow
Slightly inferior to other premium-class tires in terms of handling on wet surfaces
Very efficient on snow and dry pavement, and also have an extremely high mileage
from 8 620 ₽
3
Good balance of characteristics
Reduced resistance to longitudinal aquaplaning
Tires with balanced characteristics that have no obvious weaknesses except for poor resistance to aquaplaning

4
Excellent performance on snow
Long braking distance on dry pavement
Economical tires with a high level of grip on snow, otherwise the indicators are also generally not bad, but the braking efficiency on dry asphalt could be improved
from 16 300 ₽
5
Excellent resistance to aquaplaning
Relatively long braking distance on dry asphalt
Continental provide ease of handling on all types of surfaces and are very effective in terms of preventing aquaplaning
from 8 740 ₽
6
High level of comfort
Insufficiently good handling on dry pavement
On snow, the ratings are decent, but on dry pavement, the tires lack steering sensitivity, and on wet surfaces, they lack braking effectiveness
from 24 040 ₽
7
Very short braking distance on dry pavement
Poor performance on snow
Inexpensive tires that showed themselves from the worse side on snow and also have a very low resource

High level of comfort
Poor results on snow
Overall, not bad tires, but with an obvious lack of traction on snow, even compared to budget tires
from 8 730 ₽
10
Low rolling resistance
Very weak traction on wet surface
On snow, the performance is acceptable, but on asphalt, the traction is clearly weak, especially on wet surfaces
from 3 970 ₽
