About the Test Results Table

Reading the Table

This table shows the raw data from the 2020 Nordic and Studded Winter Tire Test tire test. Here's what the columns represent:

  • Tire: The tire brand and model
  • Total: The overall score based on the current category weightings
  • Each subsequent column shows individual test results for specific performance categories

Results are color-coded for tires that ranked in the top 3 (green) or top 6 (yellow) for each test. The "BEST" badge indicates the top performer in that category.
