2013 Auto Bild SUV / 4x4 Winter Tyre Test

+Very balanced winter tyre with few weaknesses, particularly good cornering grip in wet conditions

−Relatively high price, average aquaplaning safety

+Very balanced winter tyre, great cornering force in snowy conditions

−Highest price in this comparison

+Balanced and very good performance in snow, lowest rolling resistance in the test

−Average performance when braking on wet and dry roads, increased tyre noise

+Outstanding aquaplaning, maximum traction on snow, wet shortest braking distance

−Prolonged dry braking distance, average braking on snow, not particularly quiet or cheap

+Very good in the snow tests, low rolling noise

−Prolonged dry braking distance, average rolling resistance and aquaplaning results, expensive

+Good price/performance ratio, very quiet, well above average in the wet

−Only average lateral grip in snow

+Very high aquaplaning safety, almost as good as a summer tyre in the dry

−Moderate ride comfort, relatively expensive, average on snow, not too quiet

+A very short braking distance on wet roads, good braking on dry roads, low noise level

−Moderate traction on snow, average cornering in the wet, average comfort

+Cheap, best value when braking on snow and generally good on snow, fairly quiet

−Slow on dry pavement, below average in the wet, the highest rolling resistance test

+Very low price, very good braking on snow and generally good on snow, low rolling resistance

−Disastrous in the wet, especially when braking, average dry roads, hard ride
