Sadly the data is a little lacking in this test, but as the driving was done by the experts at Test World, you can be sure it was a proper tyre test.
Points of interest? Well, we don't get the Nokian Hakka Blue 2 in Europe, we do get the Nokian WetProof instead, and while the Michelin CrossClimate+ finished in eleventh place overall, you can be sure it performed significantly better than any other siped all season tyre with snow capabilities.
