Name: 2022 Auto Bild SUV Winter Tyre Test
Creator: Tyre Reviews
Published: 2022-10-14

The 2022 Auto Bild SUV tyre test has tested ten sets of performance suv winter tyres in the popular 225/45 R19 size using a BMW X1, and included a reference summer tyre so we can compare the differences.

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

The overall results closely mirror the 2021 Tyre Reviews Performance Winter Tyre Test, with the Michelin Pilot Alpin 5 and Continental WinterContact TS870P proving to be the best of the group.

Only one tyre was awarded "Not Recommended" by Auto Bild, the Petlas W671. This also matches the Tyre Reviews Winter Test from this year, where the cheap Petlas brand tyre performed extremely poorly in the wet.

9Hankook Winter i cept evo3	46.8 m	+7.80 m	53 km/h
11Bridgestone Blizzak LM005	47.2 m	+8.20 m	54 km/h

The difference between best and worst was 21% (8.2 m ≈ 1.8 Car Lengths). From 130 km/h, the Bridgestone Blizzak LM005 would still be travelling at 54 km/h when the Reference Summer had stopped.

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