Place Model Description / Recommendations Cost
1
Michelin Alpin 7
Good snow handling
Good performance on wet and dry roads
High level of comfort
Low rolling resistance
Michelin is extremely effective on dry and wet asphalt, and although the grip on snow is not so impressive, there are no problems with handling

Verdict: Very good
from 12 530 
2
Barum Polaris 6
Excellent snow performance
Good handling on wet surfaces
Good results on dry surfaces
High resistance to lateral aquaplaning
Low noise level
Low rolling resistance
Tires with outstanding snow traction that also perform well on asphalt and help save fuel

Verdict: Good
from 22 230 
4
Lassa Competus Winter 2+
Good resistance to longitudinal aquaplaning
Weak traction force and overall reduced snow grip
Very long braking distance on dry pavement
High noise level
Lassa performed reasonably well on wet surfaces, but on dry asphalt and, particularly, on snow, the tires clearly do not have the highest level of grip

Verdict: Satisfactory
from 9 050 
5
Kormoran SUV Snow
High traction on snow
Insufficient good handling on dry pavement
Kormoran performed best on the snow track, while on asphalt the indicators are average, and the main claims arose to handling on dry pavement

Verdict: Satisfactory
from 6 830 
6
Decent longitudinal traction on snow
Low resistance to lateral aquaplaning
Increased noise
High rolling resistance
Riken has sufficiently short braking distances and good traction on snow, but otherwise, these are ordinary budget tires with a number of drawbacks, such as impaired handling on dry asphalt and a strong tendency to aquaplaning in corners

Verdict: Satisfactory
7
Decent performance on dry pavement
Very weak traction and poor handling on snow and wet surfaces
Tomket is unable to stop the car quickly enough on a wet road, and they also have very weak traction on snow, so it's not recommended to buy them

Verdict: Poor
