Here's an excellent winter tyre overview from Auto Bild, who managed to test 50 winter tyres in a shoot out format to decide the tyres submitted to their top 15 super test.

As always, every tyre was tested in wet braking from 80kph, with the best 24 of those being tested in snow braking from 50kph.

The Braking Results
