Methodology & Configuration
Scoring Process
  1. Collect Test Data: Gather results from professional tire tests across multiple publications. Minimum 1 test(s) required.
  2. Normalize Positions: Convert test positions to percentile scores using exponential weighting (factor: 1.2).
  3. Apply Recency Weighting: More recent tests are weighted higher with a decay rate of 0.95.
  4. Incorporate User Reviews: Factor in user review data (minimum 5 reviews). Weight: 15%.
  5. Bayesian Smoothing: Apply Bayesian prior (score: 7, weight: 1.5) to prevent extreme scores with limited data.
  6. Calculate Final Score: Combine all components using normalization factor of 1.1. Max score with limited data: 9.5.

Good in the dry, very good in the deeper water wet tests, excellent on snow, good on ice, good comfort, well priced, low rolling resistance.
Extended dry, wet and ice braking.
The Nokian Remedy WRG5 is a solid all weather tire. While it struggles a little in braking compared to the best, the other qualities make up for is, notably an impressive lead in the deeper water of the hydroplaning tests which are so important in wet winters. It also has an excellent all round performance on snow, excellent traction on smooth ice, good levels of comfort, and a low rolling resistance.
2025 Car and Driver All Weather Tire Test
225/45 R18 • 2025
5th/7
Despite finishing last overall, the newest tire in the test, the $220 Nokian Remedy WRG5, offered two significant advantages: the best warranty (60,000 miles with no age limit) and strong performance in both dry conditions and snow. In winter testing, it worked as hard as the top-scoring tires to fight understeer and achieved the highest peak speed (63 mph) around the snowcross track. However, its wet performance was dismal - stopping distances were nearly 25 feet longer than the best performer, and it induced dangerous oversteer on the wet autocross and slalom. This poor wet-weather behavior overshadowed its strengths and ultimately cost it in the final rankings.

Latest Nokian Remedy WRG5 Reviews

Given 86% while driving a Volvo S60 2.0T (235/45 R18) on mostly town for 2,000 spirited miles
Great traction in rain and snow, super confidence inspiring. Braking in snow and ice is good too. Braking on very wet pavement is not quite as good as my prior UHP all season tires, but still decent. Very predictable handling and not mushy like other all weathers. Good feedback on the grip limit. Update as I've had them now for about 6000 miles and 1 year. Wet performance seemed to improve slightly after the first ~1000 miles. They have been wearing well and I'm on track to get about 45k miles from them. Had them in temperatures as high as 110f with high speed driving and no issues.

Given 85% while driving a GMC Terrain (275/55 R19) on mostly country roads for 100 easy going miles
Replaced WRSUV G3 that suffered tread separation after 5 years; the G5 version of the WRSUV is smoother running and virtually noiseless.
