How scores work
- Relative score
- 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
- Road tests
- 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
- Owner reviews
- 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.
By owner reviews
47/100From 11 owner reviews analysed, scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70.

The Fortuna Winter tire receives highly polarized feedback, with users either praising its exceptional value or reporting severe safety concerns. While some drivers find them surprisingly capable in snow and cost-effective, a significant portion of the user base reports dangerous handling characteristics, particularly regarding wet-weather grip and stability.
Pros
- Highly competitive price point
- Effective traction in deep snow conditions
- Satisfactory tread wear for some users
- Strong value proposition for budget-conscious drivers
Cons
- Poor wet-weather performance and braking distance
- Significant road noise and vibration
- Unstable handling and lack of driver confidence
- Negative impact on fuel economy
Worth knowing
- Performance appears highly inconsistent on rear-wheel-drive vehicles, with some users reporting severe wheel spin and others finding them surprisingly capable on commercial vans.
- Drivers of performance-oriented vehicles (BMW 330d, VW Scirocco) reported significant issues with grip and stability, suggesting the tire may be ill-suited for higher-torque applications.
