The biggest surprise of the test was this time delivered by Vredestein, with the Sportrac 5 dominating the test, and beating the wet weather master Continental Premium Contact 5 in the wet tests. The Vredestein must have gone through a life cycle update, as in 2015 the best result it could manage was fifth overall, and over placed near the bottom of the tests it took part in.
The Dunlop and Goodyear combination of closely matched premium touring tyres once again traded blows in the tests to finish nearly identically overall in third and fourth places, while Hankook rounded out the top five with another balanced performance.
Nokian once again had a good result in sixth place, and Kumho finally had a decent test result, finishing seventh with no real negative qualities of the Eco Wing ES01.
Infinity will be proud they managed to beat Michelin, with the premium French brand pushing the balance between wet grip and wear too far towards wear for the ADAC testers, and Bridgestone struggled to balance wet and dry grip, scoring too highly in the dry, like Michelin losing points in the heavily weighted wet testing.
