• The Nokian Tyres Snowproof 2 demonstrates mixed performance across different driving conditions. On dry roads, it shows slight weaknesses in precision and steering feedback, requiring minor corrections to maintain the desired path. Its performance in sudden evasive maneuvers is not entyrely convincing, with a tendency to oversteer. However, it achieves good dry braking distances. On wet surfaces, the tyre performs well overall, with good results in aquaplaning resistance and handling, though narrowly missing a good rating in wet braking. Its weakest performance is on winter roads, where it achieves good snow braking but only satisfactory results in traction and handling due to average grip levels and suboptimal force combination. Ice braking is below average. Environmentally, the tyre's performance is mixed, with below-average projected mileage but good wear resistance and efficiency due to low weight and fuel consumption. Overall, the Nokian Tyres Snowproof 2 excels on wet roads but has room for improvement on dry and winter surfaces, as well as in terms of longevity.

• The Nokian Snowproof 2, a Central European non-studded tyre, delivered typical performance for its category. It excelled in wet and dry conditions but struggled significantly on ice and snow. The tyre showed good stability and comfort on the road. Its rolling resistance was mediocre, impacting fuel efficiency. While it performed adequately for its intended use, it didn't stand out among its peers.
