2025 Autozurnal Winter Tyre Test P5 of 7

The Riken SUV Snow finished the test tied for fifth place overall, delivering a performance profile nearly identical to its twin, the Kormoran tyre. The tyre did not stand out in any particular area, generally placing in the middle or lower end of the results across all conditions. It finished sixth in the dry category and fifth in the wet, with results for braking, handling, and noise that were consistently behind the leading competitors. Its snow performance was also mid-pack, ultimately defining it as a tyre with average capabilities but no distinct advantages.
