It seems that for the 1st time we'll see BFGoodrich GForce Winter 2 against Kleber Krisalp HP3. Apparently, exactly the same tread pattern but, eventually, slightly different compounds. Will be an interesting test to look at in a few weeks if one is looking for cheap but interesting winter tyres!
They finish pretty close overall, the BF is 2 places ahead of the Kleber!
