Nokian Snowproof P

The Nokian Tires Snowproof P fails to achieve good ratings on all three road surfaces and therefore misses a good overall driving safety score, and despite achieving a good environmental rating, only manages a satisfactory overall evaluation. For driving safety, the tire provides only satisfactory steering feedback and precision on dry roads, requiring occasional corrections during steering input and cornering due to its elastic response feel, and the test vehicle tends to oversteer during dynamic evasive maneuvers or lane changes with only satisfactory limit behavior, though it achieves good braking distances that are slightly above average for the test field. On wet surfaces, the Nokian delivers satisfactory overall performance - while it still scores well for braking distances, it only achieves satisfactory ratings for both longitudinal and lateral aquaplaning resistance and handling, where the tire tends to understeer early and lacks precision with moderate limit performance. In winter conditions, the Snowproof P also only manages satisfactory ratings overall, achieving good scores only for ice braking while receiving satisfactory evaluations for snow braking distances, traction, and handling, where the test vehicle cannot be steered with particular precision and the limit range is again only at a moderate level with early tendencies toward under- or oversteering, though the tire still offers some reserves. Regarding environmental performance, this Finnish-manufactured tire receives good ratings with good predicted mileage and tire wear, plus good overall efficiency primarily due to low fuel consumption, though its weight is rated only as satisfactory.

Good on snow and dry roads, but when it's wet the WR SnowProof P is weaker.

Short dry braking distances, fuel-saving rolling resistance, low pass-by noise.

Moderate cornering on snow, low safety reserves for aquaplaning, understeering wet handling, longer wet braking distances.

Conditionally Recommended.
