Kal's Test Results
? Independent & Objective Testing
?Summer vs Winter Tests
BRAKING
We varied our approach speeds by driving surface and by season for two reasons. First, this represents how most Canadians would normally drive on that surface in each season. Second, testing in both seasons provides an indication of how a tire's performance will be affected by road temperature.
CORNERING
To understand how road surface temperatures affect the cornering performance of a tire, our cornering tests are completed in both summer conditions (dry and wet pavement, and gravel roads) and winter conditions (dry, wet and icy pavement). Please note that slush is also tested but completed in a specific slush cornering test..
?Independent & Objective Testing
The independent tire testers conducted extensive tests to determine how the tires in our core line-up perform in a range of conditions in both summer and winter. To maintain neutrality, no driver knew the specifics of the tires they were testing each time. All results were analyzed and processed by the testing group and then provided to Kal Tire for sharing with our customers.

I'm so grateful to Kal Tire Staff in Golden BC for recommending these tires for my Honda civic! Two days after putting them on we drove through Rogers Pass in awful winter conditions. A car stopped suddenly in front of us due to a small avalanche and we were able to swerve into the ditch while the four vehicle behind us ended up in a 5 car pile up! We were then able to drive the car out of the ditch without having to get out and dig when it would have been super dangerous. These tires were worth every penny!

I bought my second set of the same tires, the Nokian Nordman Studded. I bought them because they are incredible tires for a very competitive price. They lasted me 4 winters and I drive a lot so they wear very well, and have grip right to the end of life. I could totally be an ambassador for Nokian Tires (I'm not) but also have a set of Hak 8s on my Tundra and love them too. You won't be disappointed with any Nokian winter tires imo.
