Tables are ranked by TR Score, which rates each tire out of 10 using independent test results and owner reviews weighted by how much evidence backs them. Unscored tires link to their pages, where a review counts towards a score.
Marshal EU label data
5 of the 12 tires on record carry EU label data. These are the range's label headliners, using each tire's best available size figures.
B Lowest rolling resistance
The most fuel efficient choice: 1 tires reach rolling resistance class B. The highest scoring:
- Marshal MU12 5.8
70dB Quietest tires
The quietest tires in the range are labelled from 70 dB external noise:
- Marshal KH35 7.6
- Marshal Matrac FX MU11 7.3
- Marshal MU12 5.8
Label values come from the EU EPREL database and vary by size - the figures here are each tire's best declared size. Wet grip and rolling resistance run from class A (best) to E; noise is the measured drive-by figure. A good label is a floor, not a verdict: the tests and rankings above tell you far more.

Hey all!
Just got these for my X5 F15 in 315/35/20 Rear and 275/40/20 Front.
Right off the bat they are louder than the winter set i had on and they are much firmer than I had thought they'd be. To me it doesn't matter that much, however I note it as I know that many drivers prefer comfort.
This is an initial impression and ignoring the slightly higher road noise they are very responsive, car feels more planted and snappier.
Even tho they are quite firm, at speed, bumps are absorbed quite well.
Let's see how they get through the summer 2026 and I might update this toward autumn.

tire offered very good dry grip and precise cornering that is not expected from a tire in this price range... overall handling was very very good... maybe even better than the Kumho Ecsta range (PS31 & KU31 & HS51) i had before
All excellent, comparable to lower grade Michelin tires - NO NOISE while driving, good soft feeling on the road, fast stop if needed !
Definitive, buy again, no reserve !
Definitive, buy again, no reserve !
Introduced to me by the garage on my Camry.
Noticed instantly the improvement compared to the original tire on my vehicle. More confidence steering feel on highway
Have been driving on it for 10k km

Tread pattern on this tire is directional, so 2 are being used on rear axle only. Car is a fairly heavy rwd with a limited slip diff, so the tires get some help. Grip is good in snow. Tires are composed when powered through rutted, hilly b-roads. Tires can be composed when navigating uphill on snow-covered roads.
However, it seems the Wi31 have a tendency to allow snap oversteer when approaching WoT. The slide itself is predictable and possible to reel in.
In general: grip levels are good, but once lost, the tire struggles to respond under continued throttle.
No comment on ice as there are no studs installed on the tires. Wear is noticeable outside of snow. Comfort is not an issue, nor is it a real strength.
This (Wintercraft Wi31) is a fairly old model, and you should be able to find discounts. It's important to make sure you check the manufacture year of your tire (XXYY) -> XX = week of manufacture, YY = year of manufacture. You may not want a "new" tire that is in reality a year or two old, since it means it sat in a warehouse in unknown conditions for a long time!

Where this data comes from
Rankings combine independent test results with owner reviews submitted through this site, each naming the car, the tire, the size and the distance covered. Reviews are checked by hand before publication, and the page rebuilds automatically as new evidence arrives.
About the TR Score
The Tire Reviews Score rates each tire out of 10 using independent test results and the full body of owner reviews, weighted by how much evidence backs them.
Who does the testing
Every test published as a Tire Reviews test is run by Jonathan Benson, who has been testing tires independently since 2007.
