Review and comparison of winter tires for passenger cars - Snow/Ice tiresThe main new winter tire models for passenger cars this year include the Nokian Hakkapeliitta 7, Toyo Observe GSI-5, Goodyear Ultragrip Ice WRT, and Kumho I'ZEN KW22. 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 passenger car 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 passenger car models available on the market. Check the table below to see how winter tires stack up against each other.
