2023 Studded Tire Test

7th of 8 tires

• Chinese brand Goodride boasts that their latest studded tire is developed in Finland and features 200 studs per tire. The studding is also unusually well-executed for a tire in the budget segment.
  However, Goodride performs worst of all the new tires on ice and is worse than the used tire in corners. One explanation is that the rubber compound is the hardest in the group. It is also the only tire with a speed rating of H for higher speeds.
  On snow, it performs better, where the tread pattern provides good braking grip, but the cornering grip remains low.
  From a harder winter tire, we would expect good performance on dry roads, but unfortunately, Goodride shows the worst wet grip in the test. This results in a modest overall point score, on par with the used tire.
