Performance Analysis

GT Radial WinterPro2 Sport - Official Image

GT Radial WinterPro2 Sport shows mixed winter performance with occasional highlights. Across four tests it averages mid-to-lower positions, hurt by consistently weak snow capability and variable wet braking, yet it delivers competitive wet handling/grip in certain tests and strong efficiency/noise in the SUV test. Awards or top finishes are absent, and large deltas from the best in several safety-critical metrics cap its standing.
Key strengths appear in wet lateral grip/handling and efficiency/noise in one SUV test, plus acceptable ice/snow braking in ADAC. However, snow traction/handling is repeatedly bottom-tier, wet braking is often below average, and wear/abrasion performance is poor in ADAC. Overall, it trends as a budget-oriented option with selective strengths but notable safety and longevity compromises.
