    I asked what does Snow: 0.1 result mean, and you delete my comment. Why?

      It wasn't deleted, it was flagged as spam, I don't know why, sorry.

      0.1 result means it wasn't tested in that category. They just tested the top 30 wet braking sets in snow braking.

    What do all those snow: 0.1 results mean?

    Hi, is there any test or a review if it's better to have cheap/budget winter tire than good summer tire in winter condition?

      A cheap winter tire will always perform better than a summer tire in snow and ice, the summer tire will always win in the dry, and the summer tire would nearly always beat a cheap winter tire in the wet.

        I find my winter tires better than in the wet than summers, particularly with standing water.

    There's a little mistake in the results table - the Hankook icept evo2 was tested in this test, not the RS2 (which is a shame by the way, as the RS2 proved to be a very good tire in similar 225/45 R17 size).

    Cheers!

      Hi Michal,

      I have the Auto Bild magazine in front of me, and interestingly they really have printed the RS2 in the braking test section, but the evo2 in the full test.

      Very confusing!
