As with this years Tyre Reviews winter tyre test, Auto Bild Sportscars conducted a winter tyre test in the 235/35 R19 size.

While we had a slightly different test field, the good tyres were still good, which is always nice. The cheap tyres in this test, a Radar and Auto Green, again prove that you get what you pay for, with both tyres doing well in one category (snow) but then being complete disasters in the dry and wet.

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

In the dry braking test, the Goodyear UltraGrip Performance 3 performed best among winter tyres, stopping in 41.5 meters from 100 km/h. The worst-performing winter tyre was the Autogreen Snow Chaser 2 AW08, which took 48.5 meters to stop - a difference of 7 meters or about 17% longer. Notably, the reference summer tyre outperformed all winter tyres, stopping in just 37.2 meters. This highlights the superior dry performance of summer tyres, with even the best winter tyre needing over 4 meters more to stop.

10Autogreen Snow Chaser 2 AW08	48.5 m	+7.00 m	49 km/h

The difference between best and worst was 30.4% (11.3 m ≈ 2.5 Car Lengths). From 130 km/h, the Autogreen Snow Chaser 2 AW08 would still be travelling at 49 km/h when the Goodyear UltraGrip Performance 3 had stopped.

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

The Michelin Pilot Alpin 5 achieved the highest average speed of 103.1 km/h in the dry handling test among winter tyres, while the Autogreen Snow Chaser 2 AW08 again performed worst at 93.5 km/h - a significant 9.6 km/h difference. The reference summer tyre excelled here too, managing 105.9 km/h, demonstrating its superior dry grip and handling characteristics. The gap between summer and winter performance is less pronounced in handling than in braking, but still noticeable.

10Autogreen Snow Chaser 2 AW08	93.5 km/h	-9.60 km/h

The difference between best and worst was 11.7% (12.4 Km/H).

Wet

In wet conditions, the Bridgestone Blizzak LM005 stopped in the shortest distance of 48.2 meters among winter tyres, while the Autogreen Snow Chaser 2 AW08 required a dangerous 81.1 meters - an alarming difference of 32.9 meters or about 68% longer. Interestingly, the reference summer tyre's performance (49.1 meters) was very close to the best winter tyres, showing that top winter tyres can match or even exceed summer tyres in wet braking.

10Autogreen Snow Chaser 2 AW08	81.1 m	+32.90 m	83 km/h

The difference between best and worst was 68.3% (32.9 m ≈ 7.3 Car Lengths). From 130 km/h, the Autogreen Snow Chaser 2 AW08 would still be travelling at 83 km/h when the Bridgestone Blizzak LM005 had stopped.

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

The Bridgestone Blizzak LM005 again led the winter tyres with an average speed of 83.7 km/h in wet handling, while the Autogreen Snow Chaser 2 AW08 struggled at 71.5 km/h - a difference of 12.2 km/h. The reference summer tyre achieved 81.8 km/h, falling between the best and average winter tyres. This suggests that while summer tyres generally excel in dry conditions, specialized winter tyres can outperform them in the wet.

The difference between best and worst was 14.6% (12.2 Km/H).

In the straight aquaplaning test, the Dunlop Winter Sport 5 performed best among winter tyres, maintaining control up to 89.2 km/h. The Radar Dimax Alpine fared worst, losing control at 79.5 km/h - a 9.7 km/h difference. The reference summer tyre outperformed all winter tyres at 91.6 km/h, indicating superior water dispersion in straight-line aquaplaning situations.

Snow

In snow conditions, the Autogreen Snow Chaser 2 AW08, which struggled in dry and wet tests, excelled with the shortest braking distance of 29.7 meters. The Ceat WinterDrive Sport had the longest distance at 31.8 meters - a relatively small 2.1-meter difference among winter tyres. The reference summer tyre performed poorly, needing 59.9 meters to stop, more than double the distance of winter tyres, highlighting the crucial need for winter tyres in snowy conditions.

The difference between best and worst was 101.7% (30.2 m ≈ 6.7 Car Lengths). From 130 km/h, the Ceat WinterDrive Sport would still be travelling at 33 km/h when the Autogreen Snow Chaser 2 AW08 had stopped.

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

The Michelin Pilot Alpin 5 demonstrated the best snow traction with 2260 N of pulling force, while the Hankook Winter i cept evo3 produced the least at 2037 N - a difference of 223 N or about 11%. The reference summer tyre was vastly outperformed, managing only 760 N, less than a third of the best winter tyre's traction. This enormous difference underscores the importance of winter tyres for acceleration and hill-climbing in snowy conditions.

The difference between best and worst was 66.4% (1,500 N).

The Autogreen Snow Chaser 2 AW08 continued its strong snow performance, achieving the highest average speed of 62.3 km/h in snow handling. The Hankook Winter i cept evo3 was slowest at 59.1 km/h - a relatively small 3.2 km/h difference. The reference summer tyre's performance was not reported, but based on other snow tests, it would likely be significantly worse than all winter tyres.

Comfort

The Radar Dimax Alpine was the quietest tyre, producing 69.7 dB of external noise, while the Hankook Winter i cept evo3 was loudest at 73.2 dB - a 3.5 dB difference that would be noticeable to most people. The reference summer tyre measured 70.9 dB, placing it in the middle of the range for winter tyres, suggesting that winter tread patterns don't necessarily result in increased noise.

Value

The Continental WinterContact TS 870 P had the lowest rolling resistance at 8.19 kg/t, potentially offering the best fuel efficiency. The Radar Dimax Alpine had the highest at 9.92 kg/t - a significant 21% difference that could impact fuel consumption. Interestingly, the reference summer tyre had a very low rolling resistance of 8.15 kg/t, slightly better than the best winter tyre, indicating that the specialized winter tread compounds and patterns generally increase rolling resistance compared to summer tyres.
