Winter tire test 255/55 R18 from the publisher За рулём 2010 p.

Outstanding braking performance on ice and snow
Excellent traction and handling on winter roads
Good crosswind stability on a snow-covered highway
High fuel economy

Weak braking performance on dry asphalt
Minor remarks on comfort and directional stability on asphalt

Will be liked on snowy and icy roads, in winter off-road; will help save fuel.

Good traction on ice
Lateral traction on snow
Deep snow mobility

Poor directional stability on a snowy road
Worse braking properties on asphalt - both dry and wet
Too hard brakes

Suitable for snowy and icy roads.

Excellent braking performance on dry asphalt
Also a good directional stability under these conditions

Poor acceleration on snow and cross-country grip on ice
Low directional stability on snowy roads
High noise level

Suitable for cleared roads

Good traction
Low noise level

Complex handling on winter roads
Low lateral traction on snow
High rolling resistance at 90 km/h

Universal winter tire with modest characteristics.

Excellent wet grip, very good dry grip
Good directional stability on asphalt.

The weakest braking on snow and ice, as well as acceleration on ice. Average passability. The tires are noisy and hard, worse than all competitors in the test at 60 km/h

Best suited for cleaned asphalt roads.
