Test of studded winter tyres 215/65 R17 from the publisher Vi Bilagare 2026 p.

Place	Description / Recommendations	Cost
1	Nokian Hakkapeliitta 01 Excellent performance on ice Very good performance on wet surfaces Low noise level (thanks to new stud technology) Poor performance on dry surfaces (steering response is vague, and directional stability has deteriorated compared to previous-generation tyres) Apparently, handling on dry asphalt was sacrificed in order to improve performance on ice	—
2	Goodyear Ultragrip Arctic 2 Good performance on ice Short braking distance on dry and wet asphalt Well-balanced characteristics Vague steering response on asphalt Good tire without obvious drawbacks	from 9 650 ₽
3	Michelin X-Ice North 4 Fast acceleration and short braking distance on ice and snow Balanced handling on asphalt Less lateral stability compared to some competitors Relatively low grip on wet surfaces Combine high grip on snow and ice with confident performance on asphalt	from 15 290 ₽
4	Pirelli Winter Ice Zero 2 Excellent performance on asphalt Very high resistance to aquaplaning Relatively weak grip on ice One of the best-performing tires on asphalt during northern winter conditions, among both studded and non-studded models	from 10 050 ₽
5	Nordman North 9 SUV Good performance on snow and ice Poor grip on wet surfaces Increased noise	—
6	Nankang SW9 Excellent performance on snow and ice Poor performance on asphalt One of the best budget tyres for snow and ice performance, though it lacks versatility	from 6 110 ₽
7	Kumho Wintercraft WI32 Good performance on dry asphalt Poor performance on ice and snow Increased noise level Low grip on wet surfaces Kumho's results were disappointing (the tyre was upgraded, but it seems not all sizes were affected)	from 5 250 ₽
