+Very balanced tyres, Good performance on snow, excellent performance in the wet, low rolling resistance

−None listed

+Very short stopping distances and high lateral stability in the snow, good grip in the wet and dry, low noise

−Slightly long braking distances in the wet

+Good handling, short braking and good cornering in the snow, wet and dry

−Relatively high rolling resistance, noise

+Good handling in the snow, short braking distance in the wet, high resistance to aquaplaning, good comfort

−Relatively poor performance in the dry, relatively high rolling resistance

+Show braking distances and good handling in the snow, very good grip in the dry and wet

−Low resistance to aquaplaning, high rolling resistance

+Excellent all round grip in the snow, good cornering in the dry, high resistance to aquaplaning, good all round performance in the dry

−Relatively long braking distances in the wet, high rolling resistance

+Great grip and handling in the dry

−Poor grip in snow, high rolling resistance

+Short braking distances and good traction on snow, good resistance to aquaplaning, precise steering response and excellent grip in the dry, low rolling resistance

−Relatively weak lateral stability and understeer in the snow and on dry roads

+Good traction and short braking in the snow and dry roads, good handling in the dry, low rolling resistance

−Weak lateral stability in the snow, long braking distance and poor grip in the wet, low resistance to aquaplaning

+Acceptable braking on snow and dry roads, good handling in the dry, low noise

−Weak lateral stability and traction in the snow. Low grip and slow steering in the wet, high risk of aquaplaning, high rolling resistance
