Full results below. Results are weighted as follows: Dry 30%, wet 30%, snow 30%, rolling resistance / noise 10%.
Results
Very good results on snow and wet roads
Relatively long dry braking, high level of noise
Good results in the snow, high resistance to aquaplaning
Slightly slower steering response
Good wet traction, good handling on dry roads
Relatively weak grip on the rear axle in the snow
Balanced behavior on snow, very good results in wet conditions
Slightly slower steering response, average comfort
Balanced and safe behavior in the snow, good handling on dry roads
Long braking distances and poor lateral stability on wet surfaces, nervous handling at the limit of grip
Short braking distances on snow, very good handling on dry surfaces
Poor snow balance, long braking distances and a tendency to understeer on wet surfaces, poor resistance to aquaplaning
Good handling on snow. fast steering response on dry surfaces
Poor resistance to aquaplaning, long braking distance on wet roads
Acceptable balance in various conditions
Poor traction on snow, low resistance to aquaplaning
Short braking distances on snow, good handling on dry surfaces, very low noise level
Long braking distances on dry and wet roads, poor resistance to aquaplaning - High rolling resistance
Good handling and short braking distances on dry surfaces
Weak results in the snow, long braking distances and under good handling on wet surfaces, clearly audible low-frequency noise at 60 km/h. not recommended for regions with snow in winter
