Review and comparison of performance winter tires for passenger cars -- Snow/Ice tires

The main new performance winter tire for passenger cars this year is the Kumho I'ZEN KW27. Please note that we have also added Vredestein, a quality tire brand from the Netherlands which Canadian drivers have yet to become familiar with.

The various performance tire models in this review are all designed to provide optimum grip on snow and ice, thereby meeting winter driving requirements. With the mountain/snowflake logo, they also meet Law 42 of the Quebec Highway Safety Code. They fit most luxury car models available on the market. Check the table below to see how winter tires stack up against each other.
