2022/23 Tire Reviews Studless Winter Tire Test

6th of 9 tires

• Good aquaplaning resistance, no huge weakness in the snow.
• Long dry, wet and ice braking distances, lower grip on ice, high internal noise, high rolling resistance.
• The Cooper Weathermaster S1000 has a fine, if not class leading snow performance, but struggles more on ice where it has the second weakest smooth ice traction of the test and below average in handling and braking. In the wet the Cooper has longer wet braking distances and the slowest wet handling lap, but the aquaplaning resistance is good. A longer than average dry braking distance and high rolling resistance rounds out the test for Cooper.
