Wins count every measurement the shared tests recorded for both tires; a tick marks the tire ahead on that line. Subjective driver scores count as wins but are never averaged, because each test uses its own scale.
Head to head in 2 tests in 2025
Each row is one published test in which both tires ran on the same car, in the same size, on the same day. The line is the whole field, winner on the left.

Point at or tap any spoke for both tires' figures.
In each test the better of the two figures counts as 100% and the other as its share of it, so a 118 ft stop against 112 ft is 95%; each spoke averages the shared tests that recorded it. The scale stops at 95%: a point further in sits on the hub's edge, hollow. 13 measurements recorded in only one shared test are left off; every measurement is in the table further down.

Braking distances and lap times are better when lower; speeds, wear and grip figures when higher. A test's figures are its own: sizes, cars, surfaces and temperatures differ from one to the next, which is why the averages here are only ever of tests the two tires shared. "Scored" rows are subjective driver ratings: each test uses its own scale, so only the wins are counted.

Bridgestone WeatherPeak
- 62%from 16 reviews

- 495,951 milesdriven by reviewers
Drivers report the Bridgestone WeatherPeak tire performs strongly in winter conditions, with multiple reviewers praising confident snow/ice traction and dependable braking, and several also noting solid wet-weather grip and generally low noise. Experiences are more mixed on-road feel, with recurring comments about mushy steering/poor straight-line tracking (especially on grooved pavement) and only average dry performance. Tread life is a frequent concern, with several owners reporting faster-than-expected wear and earlier replacement than anticipated.
- Strong snow/ice traction and winter confidence
- Good wet traction/braking
- Generally low road noise/quiet ride
- Faster-than-expected treadwear/shorter lifespan
- Mushy or vague steering and handling (poor tracking/tramlining on grooves)
Summarised by AI from 15 vetted reviews; the reviews themselves are on the tire page.
All 16 WeatherPeak reviewsLow noise, decent snow traction. Just OK dry traction. Less than ideal MPG. Wearing quickly at just 20k I might get 35k miles out of them on my Odyssey. Good in the rain. Would not buy again just based on expected life span.

Reading the results
Written from the test results and owner reviews above. It is analysis, not a measurement: where it and the tables disagree, the tables are right.
This head-to-head pits two premium all-weather touring tires aimed at year-round versatility: Bridgestone's WeatherPeak and Nokian's Remedy WRG5. Both target drivers who want winter-capable traction without switching to dedicated snow tires, yet their strengths diverge meaningfully across dry, wet, and wintry conditions.
Across two 2025 comparative tests, the Bridgestone consistently owned snow and ice metrics and posted the best wet braking, while the Nokian countered with stronger dry performance and better hydroplaning resistance. Warranty and rolling resistance also tilt in different directions, setting up a clear choice based on climate and priorities.
Conclusion
The Bridgestone WeatherPeak is the safer bet for mixed and severe winter climates. It repeatedly delivers shorter wet and snow/ice stops, stable wet/snow handling, very low noise, and class-leading rolling efficiency at strong value. Its trade-off is notably long dry braking and a softer, less precise feel in the dry and wet.
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.

Where this data comes from
Finishing positions and measurements are transcribed from each published test. A test only counts here when both tires ran in it, so every figure was recorded on the same car, size and day as the one it is compared to.
About the TR Score
The Tire Reviews Score rates each tire out of 10 from every independent test result and vetted owner review we hold, so two tires can be compared even before a test has run them together.
Who does the testing
Every test published as a Tire Reviews test is run by Jonathan Benson, who has been testing tires independently since 2007.
