The 2020 ACE / ARBÖ / GTÜ winter tyre test has tested nine winter tyres in the popular 225/50 R17 size using a BMW 3 Series.
As there's no data with this test, we'll leave the commentary to a minimum, but it's great to see Bridgestone continuing it's run of sucsess with another win for the Blizzak LM005.
The testing notes have left us a little confused, as tyres with seemingly big issues such as long dry and wet braking distances still being recommended, but be sure to head over to the ACE website to see the full details.

Maybe I should mention the reviews from GTÜ/ACE are the most confusing and unbelievable reviews I ever saw.
Tilsome years ago they test with Auto Zeitung and had conceivable results, but since this cooperation ended you get results like that.
There are a good comments on their website. I reаd them and think sound reasonable. There is a video in YouTube also.
