Below are all the data points for the 2011 Sport Auto Performance Winter Tyre Test, displaying how each tyre performed across all test categories. The spider chart below provides a complete overview of performance, where one hundred percent represents the best performance in each category. The larger the area covered by each tyre's plot, the better its overall performance.
How to read these charts:
For each test category, data is presented relative to the best performing tire. The direction indicates whether lower or higher values are better - pay close attention to this when interpreting results.
Spider chart cannot be displayed because there are no test categories common to all tires.
with a test aimed at performance tyres, why did you test the WR D3, which is aimed at family 'economy' cars, and not the A3, which is the performance oriented tyre. I've just finished a 2400 mile trip through the alps on the A3s on my twin turbo legacy, and they were great in the snow, but also perform fantastically well in the wet and dry.
Hi,
Unfortunately it wasn't one of our tests, but it's a question we've wondered too.
Nokian must have had the choice of which tyre to supply, perhaps the A3 wasn't in full production when these tests were run...
