Latest Tyre Test Results

2023 Tyre Reviews SUV Winter Tyre Test - 5th of 9 tyres

  • Positive - Good in the wet with the best aquaplaning resistance, very good in the snow, comfortable.
  • Negative - Reduced performance in the dry, average rolling resistance.
  • Overall - The new Nokian Snowproof 2 SUV almost matched the Pirelli overall on score, but did it in a totally different way. The Nokian was one of the best tyres in the snow, the very best in the deep water tests of aquaplaning which should be good for slush, and was very quiet and comfortable. It wasn't great in the dry, with the longest dry braking but the margins were small, and it was only midpack in wet handling and braking, but like in the dry the margins weren't huge. Recommended.

    Given 94% while driving a Volvo XC60 D5 AWD Auto (235/55 R19) on mostly motorways for 8,000 average miles
    Driving these tyres on my Volvo XC60 D5 AWD in Switzerland since October 2023 for 13000 km.
    What amazed me with those tyres is the grip and security they give during heavy raining or slush. They provided excellent control at high speed during a heavy snow storm in Germany in December while the highway was not properly cleaned. And they are always secure through water puddles on the highway or when driving through heavy rain.
    One drawback is the increased fuel consumption (~1 liter/100 km) while driving on rain.
    There is noticeable tread wear on the front axle but I did not measure the remaining tread depth, yet.
    One characteristic is the noticeable noise and steering wheel vibration during cornering at low speeds (10-20 km/h).
    The highway driving noise is particularly high pitched, but not disturbing.
    I am satisfied with these tyres and would recommend them for anyone driving through snow, slush or rain.
    Dry braking seems a bit worse than with the summer Continental Premium Contact 6 tyres, but was never a practical issue.

    Given 96% while driving a Mercedes Benz MB GLK 220 CDI 4 matic (235/50 R19) on a combination of roads for 500 spirited miles
    Nokian excellent on snow, also excellent on wet surfaces, but what was surprising was in the dry. The Kevlar reinforced sidewall significantly reduces body roll and steering angle. The tire is direct and precise, at high performance summer levels, making the handling fantastic. This driving pleasure has not been declared by the tests carried out so far, not even the aramid reinforced sidewall which reduces the risk of punctures and dents or bubbles, very important for an off-road vehicle. Unthinkable for an SUV winter tire until recently. I had the WR SUV3, which lasted 10 years, excellent on snow, but here the step forward is very big. Well done.
