2017 Sport Auto Winter Tire Test

I feel an utter disappointment with Nokian WR4!!
Both the "2017 Sport Auto Winter Tire Test" & "AMS Performance 18 inch Winter Tire Test" were right on the spot with the scores.
The WR4 are horrible on the wet surfaces!! I have a TT Mk3 and driving it on a highway at any levels of rain is utter horror show. I constantly get the feeling that the car is "floating" (aquaplaning). Overtaking anyone on a wet road is like driving on ice. Even on the dry surfaces, the tires seem to force the car to "wander". You have to constantly make small steering wheel adjustments in order to have the car go straight. At first I thought that this was due to possible road imperfections" but now I know better.

VERDICT: "Not recommended"
Since people rarely drive fast & crazy during the winter, I recommend any other tire. They might be good on dry, however in most places winter is mostly wet and icy than just being outright cold and dry. Get a tire with good wet & snow stats.

There's a mistake. This is the Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4, not the Alpin 4. These are two entirely different tires.

I have the Toyo in its second (winter)year now (done approx 25k km), and can't really say they're -that- bad in the wet, but they aren't great either. Dry is pretty good.
In snow I think they lose grip too quickly. A couple of weeks ago we finally had some deep snow and these certainly can't beat Goodyear and Vredestein. The little snow I had when I placed the review was nothing compared to a couple of weeks ago. In deep snow and sludge these tires are simply disappointing.

The abysmal result in the wet here, should be for snow (in my opinion). Since I have never felt like I lacked grip in the wet, while I have had that feeling in snow, that I simply couldn't follow others because of understeer.
