Best Winter Tire (Tested by Swedish Newspaper Aftonbladet)

http://www.aftonbladet.se/vss/bil/story/0,2789,98960,00.html

The Best in this year winter tire test is (tests based on 195/65 15):

+++++

Goodyear Ultra Grip 500 (studded) was rated best in heavily snowed/iced areas, but this tire doesn't run as well on bare asphalt.

++++

Gislaved Nord Frost 3 (studded) was ratest second, but the reviewers rated this an all-purpose winter tire meaning that it runs well in medium snow and on asphalt when the snow has cleared.

++++

Nokian Hakkapeliitta 2 (studded) rated third. Handles well on moderate snow and iced surface, "bad on asphalt" (Literal translation).

+++++

Nokian Hakkapeliitta Q (Best Studless tire)

++

Michelin Maxi Ice (Studless tire) Quiet ride on asphalt, good on snow, but doesn't handle as well in sudden maneuvers on icy roads.

-

Bridgestone Blizzak WS-50 (studless tire) grips well on snow and ice but terrible on bare asphalt.
