2022/23 Tire Reviews Studless Winter Tire Test

7th of 9 tires

• Very good wet braking, high aquaplaning resistance, good dry braking, good snow braking.
• Weaker in the handling tests, very low grip on ice, higher levels of noise, very high rolling resistance.
• The Federal Himalaya ICEO was excellent in the wet with good braking and high levels of aquaplaning resistance. It was also good in dry braking, but struggled more on the dry handling lap. The snow performance was average, however for a nordic winter tire it struggled on ice, and was nearly 40% worse than the best on test during ice traction. The ICEO also had the highest rolling resistance on test.
