2026 Vi Bilagare Studded Tire Test P6 of 8

The Nankang Ice Activa Grip 2 SUV is the value pick of this field, and on snow it genuinely competes with tires costing far more. What it lacks is the rest of the package: the wet performance is the weakest here and the asphalt behavior is loose. For a driver who spends the winter on snow-covered roads it works well, but a studded tire also has to cope with wet and clear tarmac, and that is where the low price shows.

Strong: Snow Braking, Subj. Noise Weak: Dry Braking, Subj. Dry Handling, Wet Braking, Straight Aqua, Snow Traction, Ice Traction Winner: Nokian Hakkapeliitta 01
