Competitors
The Nokian Seasonproof tires have been tested by Autobild in two different dimensions: 215/60 R16 and 195/55 R16. The test results reveal a few commonly mentioned qualities of these tires.
In terms of positive qualities, the Nokian Seasonproof tires are praised for their excellent snow performance, good aquaplaning properties, and comfortable driving experience. Moreover, they showcase convincing driving characteristics on ice and snow, stable dry handling, and low noise levels during passes.
However, there are also some negative aspects mentioned in the test results. Both tire dimensions experience extended braking distances on wet and dry surfaces. Additionally, understeering was observed during wet and dry handling.
In summary, the Nokian Seasonproof tires offer superior performance in snow and ice conditions, along with good aquaplaning resistance and comfort. However, they exhibit longer braking distances and understeering in both wet and dry handling scenarios.
