The test winners from the world’s leading winter tyre specialist, Nokian Tyres from Finland, received top ratings of “exemplary”, “highly recommended” and “very good”, thus proving their excellent driving safety and their low fuel consumption.

Nokian tyres had over 20 test wins in the winter tyre tests in car magazines in Germany and Europe last winter. They came first in over half of the tests.

German automobile association ADAC and consumer protection organization “test Stiftung Warentest” gave the premium-brand tyres the top rating of “good”.

Nokian winter tyres were also test winners in the 2011 winter tyre tests. In 97 test reports from autumn 2011 to spring 2013, Nokian tyres were test winners 54 times of all and rated good 43 times.
