Other than Continental, all the usual suspects have been included in the test, with Goodyear coming out the best of all, and taking the top spot with an all-round balanced performance.
Cooper scored a strong second, more at home on SUVs than regular cars and only slightly struggling in the wear tests, and Firestone placed an excellent third with their new Destination HP, beating the parent company Bridgestone who could only finish in thirteenth overall due to a weak wet performance.
Full results below, as usual ADAC weight their scoring in favour of wet performance.
