2026 AvD Winter Tyre Test P15 of 15

The Rockblade Icecruiser 1 finished last and is rated not recommended. Its excellent snow results come with wet and dry braking so poor that it is a safety risk, and its short tread life removes most of its price advantage.

Strong: Snow Braking Weak: Dry Braking, Wet Braking, Wear Winner: Pirelli Cinturato Winter 3
