Conclusion
The Nokian Remedy WRG5 suits drivers prioritizing dry road manners and confidence in heavy standing water. It offers shorter dry stops, sharper subjective handling, and superior straight/curved aquaplaning, plus solid snow/ice traction and a strong 60,000-mile warranty. Its main liability is extended wet braking and sketchy wet limit behavior noted by testers-an important safety consideration.
Bottom line: choose WeatherPeak for wet and winter safety and economy; pick WRG5 for drier regions with frequent heavy rain pooling where hydroplaning resistance and steering precision matter, provided you can accept longer wet braking.
Key Differences
- Wet braking: WeatherPeak consistently stops shorter (e.g., 36.15 m vs 37.32 m; 49.1 m vs 52.8 m).
- Dry performance: WRG5 delivers shorter dry stops and faster dry laps (e.g., 40.96 m vs 44.18 m; 73.63 s vs 74.76 s).
- Hydroplaning: WRG5 resists aquaplaning better (82.9 km/h vs 79.6 km/h straight; stronger curved scores).
- Snow/ice: WeatherPeak generally leads braking and lap times; WRG5 matches or edges traction in some measures.
- Ride/efficiency: WeatherPeak is quieter and has lower rolling resistance; WRG5 is slightly more comfortable subjectively.
- Handling feel: WRG5 rates higher in subjective dry/wet handling, while WeatherPeak can feel soft and wander on highways.

Footnote
This page has been developed using tire industry testing best practices. This means we are only comparing tests which have had both tires in the same test.
Why is this important? Tire testing is heavily affected by things like surface grip levels and surface temperature, which means you can only compare values from the same day. During a tire test external condition changes are calculated into the overall results, but it is not possible to calculate this between tire tests performed on different days or at different locations.
As a result you will see other tests on Tire Reviews which feature both the %s and %s, but as they weren't conducted on the same day, the results are not comparable.
Lots of other websites do this sort of tire comparison, Tire Reviews doesn't.
