The full test

The evidence behind the verdict

We look forward to the big Autobild braking tests in every season, and this year Autobild have tested 51 winter tyres in wet braking (plus a summer tyre), with the best 31 moving onto a snow braking test.

The top 20 combined distances from the wet and snow braking tests will feature in the full AutoBild winter tyre test, on the site next week.

Test setup & methodology

The test setting, the conditions recorded and how the results contribute to the score.

Wet Braking
80 → 0 km/h
Snow Braking
50 → 0 km/h

Wet

The summer tyre demonstrated the performance gap that winter tyres must overcome in wet conditions, stopping from 80 km/h in just 30.6 meters - significantly shorter than any winter tyre. Among the winter tyres, Goodyear led the wet braking performance at 32.6 meters, followed closely by Michelin at 33.2 meters and both Dunlop and Toyo at 33.3 meters. The spread in performance was substantial, with the top performers managing stops around 33-35 meters, while the poorest winter tyres required over 45 meters - a difference that could prove critical in emergency situations.

45.1 m +12.50 m 68 km/h

The difference between best and worst was 47.4% (14.5 m ≈ 3.2 Car Lengths). From 130 km/h, the Windforce Snowblazer UHP would still be travelling at 68 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.

Snow

In snow braking from 50 km/h, the winter tyres demonstrated their purpose-built advantage over the summer reference, which required 51.1 meters to stop. Kleber achieved the shortest snow braking distance at 27.1 meters, with BF Goodrich close behind at 27.3 meters. Dunlop and Michelin followed at 27.5 and 27.8 meters respectively. The top performing tyres clustered tightly between 27-29 meters, while the weakest performers extended beyond 32 meters, highlighting significant differences in snow compound and tread design effectiveness across the market.
