2024 Auto Bild Winter Tyre Test

Below is all the glorious data from the Auto Bild full winter test, in 205/55 R16. These are the top 20 tyres that made it through the 53 tyre shootout, so they're all essentially good tyres, they're just different shades of good.

In a welcome change, Auto Bild actually published what the reference summer and all season tyres were. They were the Continental PremiumContact 7 summer tyre, and the Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 all season tyre. Naturally the summer tyre aced dry and wet, and was useless in snow, however the performance of the Goodyear all season tyre really further throws into question the line between European winter tyres and a well rounded all season tyre.

Dry

In the dry braking test, the Kumho Winter Craft WP52 performed best among winter tyres, stopping in 43.0 meters. The worst-performing winter tyre was the Fulda Kristall Control HP2, which took 46.4 meters to stop - a difference of 3.4 meters. Interestingly, the reference summer tyre outperformed all winter tyres with a stopping distance of 38.6 meters, while the reference all-season tyre was comparable to the best winter tyres at 43.1 meters. The reference budget winter tyre performed significantly worse, needing 47.9 meters to stop.

The Continental WinterContact TS 870 achieved the highest average speed of 110.6 km/h in the dry handling test, while the Firestone Winterhawk 4 was the slowest at 108.2 km/h - a difference of 2.4 km/h. The reference summer tyre again outperformed all winter tyres with an average speed of 115.0 km/h. The reference all-season tyre performed well, matching some of the better winter tyres at 112.6 km/h. The reference budget winter tyre was significantly slower at 106.3 km/h, showing the performance gap in dry conditions.

These results demonstrate that while winter tyres have improved in dry performance, they still lag behind summer tyres in these conditions. The Kumho Winter Craft WP52 and Continental WinterContact TS 870 showed consistent performance across both dry tests, while the Fulda Kristall Control HP2 and Firestone Winterhawk 4 struggled in dry conditions.

Wet

The Bridgestone Blizzak 6 and Kumho Winter Craft WP52 tied for the best wet braking performance among winter tyres, both stopping in 54.0 meters. The worst performer was the Fulda Kristall Control HP2, needing 60.3 meters - a significant difference of 6.3 meters. The reference summer tyre outperformed all tyres with a stopping distance of 52.9 meters, while the reference all-season tyre was close to the best winter tyres at 54.7 meters. The reference budget winter tyre performed extremely poorly, requiring 79.1 meters to stop - highlighting the importance of quality in wet conditions.

The Bridgestone Blizzak 6 achieved the highest average speed of 76.01 km/h in wet handling, while the Fulda Kristall Control HP2 was again the slowest at 71.49 km/h - a difference of 4.52 km/h. The reference summer tyre once more outperformed all others with a speed of 77.36 km/h. The reference all-season tyre performed well at 74.52 km/h, while the reference budget winter tyre was significantly slower at 62.36 km/h.

The Hankook Winter I cept RS3 performed best in straight aquaplaning resistance, maintaining control up to 84.5 km/h. The Kumho Winter Craft WP52 performed worst, losing control at 73.0 km/h - a substantial difference of 11.5 km/h. Interestingly, the reference summer tyre (80.4 km/h) and all-season tyre (79.8 km/h) were outperformed by many winter tyres in this test. The reference budget winter tyre performed poorly, losing control at just 66.1 km/h.

The Hankook Winter I cept RS3 also excelled in curved aquaplaning, maintaining 3.93 m/s² of lateral acceleration. The Kumho Winter Craft WP52 struggled most, managing only 1.98 m/s² - a significant difference of 1.95 m/s². The reference summer tyre (3.19 m/s²) and all-season tyre (2.95 m/s²) were outperformed by many winter tyres. The reference budget winter tyre performed very poorly at 1.23 m/s².

These wet tests highlight the superior performance of quality winter tyres in challenging conditions. The Bridgestone Blizzak 6 showed consistent excellence across wet tests, while the Fulda Kristall Control HP2 and Kumho Winter Craft WP52 struggled in multiple wet scenarios. The results also demonstrate that while summer tyres excel in some wet conditions, winter tyres can outperform them in specific scenarios like aquaplaning resistance.

Snow

In snow braking, the Hankook Winter I cept RS3, Semperit Speed Grip 5, and Continental WinterContact TS 870 tied for best performance, stopping in 29.1 meters. The worst performer was the Firestone Winterhawk 4, needing 30.9 meters - a difference of 1.8 meters. As expected, the reference summer tyre performed extremely poorly, requiring 46.1 meters to stop. The reference all-season tyre performed well at 29.7 meters, while the reference budget winter tyre needed 35.8 meters, showing the importance of quality in winter tyres.

The Dunlop Winter Sport 5 provided the best snow traction with 2570 N of pulling force. The Yokohama BluEarth Winter V906+ performed worst with 2271 N - a significant difference of 299 N. The reference summer tyre struggled immensely with only 849 N of pulling force. The reference all-season tyre performed surprisingly well with 2516 N, while the reference budget winter tyre managed 1790 N.

The Giti GitiWinterW2 achieved the highest average speed of 60.9 km/h in snow handling. The Yokohama BluEarth Winter V906+ performed worst at 57.5 km/h - a difference of 3.4 km/h. The reference summer tyre's performance was not recorded for this test. The reference all-season tyre performed well at 59.6 km/h, while the reference budget winter tyre achieved 55.9 km/h.

These snow tests clearly demonstrate the superior performance of winter tyres in snowy conditions compared to summer tyres. The Hankook Winter I cept RS3 and Continental WinterContact TS 870 showed consistent excellence across multiple snow tests. The Firestone Winterhawk 4 and Yokohama BluEarth Winter V906+struggled in various snow scenarios. The all-season tyre performed surprisingly well in snow, often matching or exceeding some winter tyres, while the budget winter tyre consistently underperformed compared to premium options.

Comfort

The Giti GitiWinterW2 was the quietest tyre, producing 70.3 dB of external noise. The Fulda Kristall Control HP2 was the loudest at 72.9 dB - a difference of 2.6 dB. Interestingly, both the reference summer tyre (73.4 dB) and the reference budget winter tyre (74.2 dB) were noisier than all the tested winter tyres. The reference all-season tyre performed well at 71.0 dB, matching some of the quieter winter tyres.

Value

The Michelin Alpin 6 showed the best predicted tread life at 50,500 km. The Kumho Winter Craft WP52 had the worst wear performance at just 37,350 km - an difference of 13,150 km. 

The Semperit Speed Grip 5 offered the best value at €6.64 per 1000 km. The Bridgestone Blizzak 6 was the most expensive at €11.29 per 1000 km - a difference of €4.65 per 1000 km. 

The Barum Polaris 5 had the lowest rolling resistance at 7.28 kg/t. The Giti GitiWinterW2 had the highest at 10.15 kg/t - a difference of 2.87 kg/t. 

These results show that there can be significant differences in comfort, longevity, and efficiency among winter tyres. The Giti GitiWinterW2 excelled in noise reduction but struggled with rolling resistance. The Firestone Winterhawk 4 showed excellent wear characteristics but performed poorly in several performance tests. The Semperit Speed Grip 5 offered the best value, balancing cost and performance effectively.

• Price: 360.00

Good and safe driving characteristics on wet and dry roads.

Limited winter suitability, low mileage, high rolling resistance.

The Fulda Kristall Control HP 2 offers good performance on both wet and dry roads, providing safe driving characteristics.

Yokohama BluEarth Winter V906 plus

205/55 R16 91H

• EU Label: D/B/71
• 3PMSF: yes
• Price: 380.00

Good and safe driving characteristics on wet and dry roads.

Limited winter suitability, low mileage, high rolling resistance.

The Yokohama BluEarth Winter V906+ demonstrates good performance on both wet and dry roads, offering safe driving characteristics in these conditions. However, its limited suitability for winter conditions is a significant drawback for a tyre marketed as a winter product. The low mileage suggests it may wear out faster than competitors, potentially increasing long-term costs. Additionally, the high rolling resistance could negatively impact fuel efficiency. While this tyre might perform adequately in milder climates with infrequent snow, it may not be the best choice for areas with harsh winters or for drivers seeking long-term value and fuel efficiency.
