- Short braking distance on dry roads
- Short braking distance on wet roads
- Exceptional traction on snow
- Short braking distance on snow

Dunlop Winter Sport 5
While being somehow dated as it was introduced back in 2015, it received some midlife updates and still holds up with the current models, at least in smaller dimensions. At the right price, it could be a great choice.
- Exceptional traction on snow
- Very good aquaplaning resistance
- Short braking distance on snow
- Exceptional handling on the wet

Barum Polaris 5
The czech low-cost tire has high projected mileage and is good on snow, but lacks a bit of wet and dry performance. Pricewise, it can match the low-cost chinese tyres and in comparison, it's definitely a better option.

Very good traction on snow for a nice price in a wide range of dimensions. Could use shorter braking distance on dry and better traction on the wet.
