Acoustic comfort

Ride smoothness
Insufficient sidewall strength when impacted

Score: 8.7/10

Traction on wet asphalt
Braking and handling on dry asphalt
Comfort
Low rolling resistance

Insufficient sidewall strength on impacts
High price

Good tires for smooth roads, but for Russian "roads" - too delicate.

Points: 8.5/10

Dry road handling
Acoustic comfort
High impact resistance

Medium traction properties on wet asphalt

Not as "green" as Continental, but not as gentle either - a curb impact disabled the Nokian tires at a relatively high speed of 50 km/h. For Russia, such a combination of durability and economy is preferable.

Score: 8.3/10

Aquaplaning resistance
High impact resistance
Dry asphalt handling

Insufficient ride smoothness
High rolling resistance

For driving on Russian roads - a worthy option.

Score: 8.3/10

Excellent aquaplaning resistance
Smooth ride

Average traction properties on wet asphalt
Handling on wet asphalt

Maybe in the process of operation, other charms of new tires will manifest themselves (the manufacturer promises an increase in mileage by 20%), but with the presence of more "grippy" and, according to the results of our test, no less durable Michelin Energy Saver tires, it's better to buy Saver, not XM2.

Points: 8.2/10

Smoothness of operation
Ease of handling on wet asphalt.

Insufficient impact resistance
Noisiness

Tires for smooth ride enthusiasts.

Rating: 7.9/10

High resistance to impact
Low cost

Low traction on wet asphalt
Handling on wet asphalt
High rolling resistance

By modern standards, the tires are mediocre, but in towns where there is no money for road repairs and never will be, they might be sufficient.

Score: 6.5/10

Aoustic comfort
Low rolling resistance

Low aquaplaning resistance
Handling on wet and dry asphalt
Low grip properties on wet and dry asphalt

After the UHP class tire test, we had a suspicion that some "simplified" Bridgestone tires are being supplied to Russia, and now it has only intensified. But it will not be possible to compare them with those sold in Europe - instead of "Russian" tires of this model, Ecopia EP150 is sold there.

Scores: 6.1/10
