The GT Radial WinterPro 2 Sport shares 16th place with a 'satisfactory' verdict. It is cheap to buy and to run, but weak snow handling counts against it in a winter tire test.

Initial Impressions
I got these to replace Dunlop winter sport 5's as they had started cracking due to age.

These have been brilliant since installation on 3.0i rwd car. Really impressed me on very slippery Scottish side streets at -7C that hardly seen much traffic.

Very comfortable compared to the runflats.

Gives me great confidence manoeuvring in the winter.

Would recommend them to anyone looking for winter tires.
