Worst ResultPerformance Analysis
Across five winter tests, the Lassa Snoways 4 consistently places in the lower midfield to bottom third, with an average overall position of 25.8. Its standout trait is aquaplaning resistance, where it achieved top-3 results in a demanding ADAC field. Efficiency and wear are also relatively solid for a budget-oriented tyre. However, core winter safety disciplines-wet braking, snow braking, snow traction, and ice braking-are repeatedly below average to poor, often double-digit percentages behind the best, keeping it out of contention in combined rankings.
Overall, the tyre suits drivers prioritizing resistance to standing water and acceptable running costs, but it underdelivers where winter tyres matter most: stopping distances and traction on wet, snow, and ice.
