Two scoring systems, side by side
Owner scores come from reviews found online; road-test scores come from instrumented tests. Where they disagree, it is usually a discipline owners rarely push to the limit.
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
70/100From 8 owner reviews analysed, scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70.
By road tests

What owners like and dislike
Themes extracted from 8 owner reviews found online.
The Momo North Pole W2 is a budget-friendly winter tire that delivers impressive traction in deep snow and frigid conditions, often exceeding expectations for its price point. While users praise its grip and value, the tire utilizes a very soft compound that leads to rapid tread degradation when used in warmer temperatures or on dry pavement.
Pros
- Excellent traction and lateral grip in heavy snow and ice
- High value-for-money proposition
- Predictable handling and smooth transitions at the limit
- Effective performance in sub-zero temperatures
Cons
- Rapid tread wear, particularly in non-winter conditions
- Increased noise levels compared to premium alternatives
- Soft compound is not suitable for year-round or warm-weather use
Worth knowing
- Users operating RWD vehicles noted that the soft compound wears significantly faster on the drive axle.
- Drivers in extreme cold climates (Canada/Austria) report the best longevity and performance, suggesting the tire is highly sensitive to ambient temperature.
