The 2022 Auto Zeitung performance winter tyre test has tested eight popular winter tyres in 225/45 R17.

Continental, Bridgestone and Michelin all perform well, with the Continental WinterContact TS870 taking another win in 2022 winter tyre tests thanks to a well balanced performance in all conditions, the Bridgestone Blizzak LM005 performing extremely well in the dry and wet, and the Michelin Alpin 6 offering good grip in all conditions.

Test setup & methodology

The test setting, the conditions recorded and how the results contribute to the score.

Recorded test conditions

Dry Braking: 100 → 0 km/h
Wet Braking: 100 → 0 km/h
Snow Braking: 50 → 0 km/h

Dry

The Nokian SnowProof P was the best in dry braking, stopping the Audi A3 four meters shorter than the worst of the group.

Dry Braking
Position / Tyre	Result	Gap to best	Residual speed
1Nokian Snowproof P	45 m	Best	0 km/h
2Bridgestone Blizzak LM005	45.5 m	+0.50 m	14 km/h
3Pirelli Cinturato Winter 2	45.8 m	+0.80 m	17 km/h
4Continental WinterContact TS 870	46.1 m	+1.10 m	20 km/h
5Vredestein Wintrac Pro	46.3 m	+1.30 m	22 km/h
6Michelin Alpin 6	46.4 m	+1.40 m	23 km/h
7Fulda Kristall Control HP2	48.1 m	+3.10 m	33 km/h
8Giti GitiWinterW2	49 m	+4.00 m	37 km/h

The difference between best and worst was 8.9% (4 m ≈ 0.9 Car Lengths). From 130 km/h, the Giti GitiWinterW2 would still be travelling at 37 km/h when the Nokian Snowproof P had stopped.

Residual speed is calculated from the measured braking distances, assuming constant deceleration; it is not a separate measurement.

The Bridgestone Blizzak LM005 was the best tyre during dry handling, narrowly beating the Continental WinterContact TS870.

Residual speed is calculated from the measured braking distances, assuming constant deceleration; it is not a separate measurement.

As was wet handling, but this time with Continental in front of Bridgestone. Michelin again placed a respectable third.

Estimates based on typical driving conditions. Rolling resistance accounts for approximately 20% of IC vehicle fuel consumption and 25% of EV energy consumption. Actual savings vary based on driving style, vehicle weight, road conditions, and tyre age. For comparative purposes only. Lifetime savings based on a 40,000km / 25,000 mile tread life.

The Giti was the cheapest tyre in the test, and the Michelin the most expensive.

Results

The Continental WinterContact TS870 is extremely strong on any surface, very safe and therefor the clear winner of this test.
