  • Excellent in the snow, fastest snow handling lap, best snow traction and good snow braking. Very low rolling resistance.
  • Extremely long wet and dry braking distances, very difficult to control in wet handling, very low aquaplaning resistance.
  • The Petlas Snowmaster W651 really is the snow master of this group, finishing as one of best in the three snow tests. However like other budget tires it can't continue that performance onto other surfaces and is particularly bad in wet handling, with low grip and a very difficult balance.

Top 3 Petlas Snow Master W651 Reviews

Given 75% while driving a Vauxhall Astra 1.7 CDTI (225/45 R17 V) on a combination of roads for 600 average miles
Did research and although none of the 'tests' actually featured these tires I based my choice on the reviews and had them fitted just a few days before the recent snowfall - and so glad I did. Other cars, even 4 wheel drives, were stuck on the local hills but I sailed past with no problem. Massive improvement in traction on snow & ice - highly recommended.Can't comment on wear yet, but for the price an excellent buy.
