In Sweden, we usually shorten "us carowners" to ViB. Vi just means "we"...
PS: any tiretesting in scandinavia, I volunteer to join, agendas permitting.... Love tires ;)
Nexen should be last?
Score weighting can often effect overall results
Still odd, as the R3 bests the Nexen on all accounts except one, wet braking. Which does tend to hold high weighting, but still... R3 isn't even in the top three of best studdless nordic winter tires this year, so as a studded tire the Nexen is pretty awful...
Dry braking distance over 50 meters, that's scary! Too bad they didn't include any "european" winter tire for comparison, that would be interesting. But... they also tested a studless nordic tires, and for the reference they included, as they call it, a "continental winter tire" - not to be confused with the Continental ;)
