Nokian Tyres Seasonproof 2
A class A wet-grip label at 70 dB for 80.62 EUR, but its two 2026 tests put it in the middle of the field and the label data from Nokian and the retailer do not match.

Review
What this product is
Written after the analysis, from the same sources the score is built on: the manufacturer's documentation, available studies and verified owner feedback.
An attractive label at a fair price, with weaker test evidence than the label suggests. reifen.com shows the 205/55 R16 91V as C for rolling resistance, A for wet grip and 70 dB (class B), EPREL 1878759, with 3PMSF and M+S. Nokian's own size table, as we read it, shows class B for rolling resistance with A wet grip and 70 dB — the two sources disagree on one class, and EPREL itself could not be reached to settle it.
In the tests we found it was mid-field: 3.1 in ADAC's 2026 185/65 R15 test (joint sixth of eleven) and 44.9 m wet, 39.6 m dry, 84.5 m total in Auto Bild's 2026 qualifying round in 225/45 R17 — sixth of the seven results we noted. Nokian cites a TÜV SÜD Premium tyre test mark but publishes no figures from it on the page we opened.
Owner feedback is thin: 4.69/5 from only 13 reviews at reifen.com. A sensible option if the A wet-grip label is what you shop for, but the independent braking results do not show a clear advantage.
