Passenger Car Winter High Performance Tyres Tyre Review Highlights

Bridgestone Blizzak WS70 rated 78% while driving a SEAT Leon 1.9TDi
Driving on a combination of roads for 25000 average miles
It just gripped and gripped and gripped on slush, on snow, was happy on ice too.
Soft compound helped with comfort and noise.
On wet felt squishy and a particular sound was noticeable while on speed/acceleration. The sound stopped when gas pedal was released.
Upgraded later to WS80 and was not disappointed.

Semperit Speed Grip 3 rated 88% while driving a Ford Focus MK3
Driving on mostly town for 22000 average miles
The tires are great. They were bought in 2018. And in 2024 they are still in very good condition.
I recommend them over Hankook

Lassa Snoways 4 rated 87% while driving a Hyundai i30
Driving on a combination of roads for 4000 average miles
I purchased these tires this winter and have been very impressed with their performance. They provide excellent grip on both dry and wet surfaces, as well as on the light snow we experienced this season. I tested their limits and found that they only begin to exhibit slight understeer when exceeding the speed limit by 50% in corners. These tires are ideal for drivers who prioritize a defensive driving style.

Debica Frigo HP2 rated 68% while driving a Peugeot 508 rxh estate
Driving on mostly country roads for 18000 easy going miles
They were mounted on the car when I bought it (about 2000 km on them according to the owner). I used them from November to April. For the first 3 seasons they worked well especially in deeper or fresh snow and slush (I live in a mountain village where plows arrive less often). On ice at sub-zero temperatures or slippery snow they are also okay for a non-studded tire. On wet roads they behave a bit worse than the average summer tire, especially when the temperature exceeds +5 degrees Celsius. Stronger braking on dry asphalt or high temperatures causes an unexpected, premature loss of traction, and on sharp bends I have the impression that the car is "floating". The tire is soft and focused on comfort so it does not give any sporty experience, the steering is just only correct - not very precise. In the 5th season the winter properties deteriorated even though the tread did not wear out much (I have a comparison because my dad put new ones on in the fall and he is delighted - compared to mine, his car braked, accelerated and turned much better in winter). If the rubber compound had not lost its winter properties, I could have driven 35-40 thousand km on them.

Rotalla S210 rated 83% while driving a Hyundai Genesis Coupe V6
Driving on mostly town for 2500 spirited miles
super cost effective....NOT a true performance tire ( buy Blizzak for this) sidewalls are very weak relative to the RE050's normally on my whip. but I WANTED grip , road hold, NOT winter rally rubber.
100% happy with them.Only 1 winter, and expect 2 more good winter s from them...not much wear

Maxtrek TREK M900 rated 73% while driving a Mercedes Benz GL 350 CDI
Driving on a combination of roads for 3107 average miles
Installed on GL 350 , rugged looking tire , first time using this brand.

If the manufacturer improvise the road noise conditions on dry highway surfaces at both low and high speeds not exceeding 120km.

This tire would be a great selling point , cabin noise decibels are through the roof.

Especially for a MB GL 350 fitted with air ride suspension, it feels like we’re constantly driving through a construction zone.

Gonna sell these and buy something closer to Hankook, Continental, etc

Got them installed brand new , we drove a combined 40 + hrs and 3106.856 miles.

It’s noisy and appalling, sounds like my bearings are all bad, which is definitely not the situation.

Got me second guessing myself.

Sunny SN3830 rated 59% while driving a BMW 335i
Driving on mostly country roads for 3000 spirited miles
These tyres, though old, were hopeless on lightly wet cold (freezing point) salted tarmac.

Kumho IZen KW27 rated 88% while driving a Volvo v70 RDESIGN 2.0 d
Driving on a combination of roads for 30 average miles
These are tyres that just keep giving! I bought this set of Kumho IZen KW27 winter tyres in 2015 after having a particularly bad time in the Alps the previous year driving a Volvo V70 R Design on summer tyres and having to use snow chains whilst the locals were using winter tyres without any issues. They have now completed 30,000 miles, I am driving a different Volvo and the skiing trips have come to an end, but there is still life in these Kumho winter tyres, I'm sure I will get another winter out of them after this winter, I live in the north of England, the winter tyres go on sometime in November and are usually removed by the end of March which mean they are rarely in used in temperatures above 7c, this could be a reason why they have lasted so long.
Originally bought to travel on skiing holidays, where they excel in the snow and ice, I have found that they perform equally well in the cold, wet climate of England, the tread disperses water efficiently providing excellent grip.

Great tyre for snowy winter conditions, driven through lots of snow and no issues whatsoever

Debica Frigo HP2 rated 90% while driving a Dacia Duster 4x4
Driving on a combination of roads for 15000 average miles
In the ice it's not the best, but in fresh or tapped snow is very good. I don't like the noise and fuel consumption is higher than old Kleber Krisalp HP3
