2025 Auto Bild Allrad 215/55 R17 SUV Winter Tyre Test

Auto Bild Allrad has tested twelve winter tyres in 215/55 R17, a common size on compact SUVs such as the VW T-Roc, Skoda Karoq, Seat Ateca and Toyota Yaris Cross, using a T-Roc as the test car. The snow tests were run at Hankook's Technotrac proving ground in Ivalo, Finland, and the wet and dry tests at the Triwo test centre in Pferdsfeld, Germany. The field runs from the premium brands to budget names, set prices range from 290 to 740 euros, and a premium summer tyre was run alongside as a reference.

The Goodyear UltraGrip Performance 3 and Hankook Winter i*cept RS3 finished level on points and share the win. The Goodyear led the snow traction test, was the fastest winter tyre on the wet handling course and the quietest in the test, while the Hankook stopped shortest of the winter tyres on snow and in the wet and was the best tyre for aquaplaning resistance, at a lower price than any of the other three tyres rated exemplary. The Continental WinterContact TS 870 P and Vredestein Wintrac Pro+ shared third, also exemplary, and the Kumho WinterCraft WP52+ was fifth and rated good, with the shortest dry braking of the winter tyres. At the other end, the budget Leao and Tomket were rated conditionally recommended and not recommended respectively.

The summer reference shows what a winter tyre buys you. On snow it managed about a third of the traction of the best winter tyres and needed more than 14 metres further to stop than the Hankook. On wet and dry roads it stopped shortest and was fastest round both handling courses, but it was not the best on water: three winter tyres resisted aquaplaning longer, both in a straight line and in a curve. This is our summary of the headline findings; for every grade, the full scoring and Auto Bild's methodology, see the original test.

Snow

The Hankook stopped shortest on snow, with the Bridgestone and Goodyear next, and the first six tyres were separated by half a metre. The Leao and Tomket were the weakest of the winter tyres.

The Goodyear and Michelin could barely be separated for snow traction, with the Bridgestone and Hankook close behind. The Falken, Leao and Tomket had the least traction of the winter tyres.

On the snow handling course the Michelin was quickest, by a fraction from the Bridgestone, with the Pirelli third. The Falken, Leao and Tomket were the slowest.

The Pirelli held the most lateral grip in the snow slalom, just ahead of the Bridgestone and Michelin. The Tomket was well adrift of every other winter tyre here.

Wet

The Hankook was the best of the winter tyres, ahead of the Kumho and Continental, while the Bridgestone and Pirelli, both strong on snow, needed more than 5 metres further than the Hankook to stop. The Linglong and Tomket were the longest, the Tomket nearly 10 metres behind the Hankook.

The Goodyear was the fastest winter tyre round the wet handling course, with the Kumho and Continental close behind. The Leao and Tomket were clearly the slowest.

On the wet circle the Hankook, Vredestein, Kumho and Goodyear were almost inseparable, and the Leao and Tomket were again the slowest.

The Hankook resisted straight-line aquaplaning longest of all, ahead of the Falken and Vredestein, and all three outlasted the summer reference. The Linglong and Leao were the first to float.

In curved aquaplaning the Hankook was again best, with the Goodyear and Vredestein next, all three ahead of the summer reference. The Tomket and Leao sat in the middle of the field in this test, while the Kumho and Linglong held the least grip.

Dry

The Kumho stopped shortest of the winter tyres on dry roads, with the Falken and Goodyear next. The Bridgestone was second longest and the Tomket needed more than 3 metres further than the Kumho to stop.

Dry handling was very close. The Hankook and Michelin shared the fastest time of the winter tyres, with the Falken next, and the Tomket and Leao were the slowest.

Comfort

In the pass-by noise measurement at 80 km/h the Goodyear was the quietest tyre, ahead of the Continental and, perhaps surprisingly, the budget Tomket. The Vredestein and Linglong were the loudest.

Auto Bild's ride comfort grades were close. The Continental and Pirelli were rated most comfortable, and the Vredestein, Kumho, Bridgestone, Falken and Tomket a step behind.

Value

The Michelin had the lowest rolling resistance, with the Continental next and the Tomket third, all three lower than the summer reference. The Pirelli had the highest rolling resistance in the test, with the Leao next.

Results

The Goodyear and Hankook share the win, with the Continental and Vredestein close behind, and all four were rated exemplary. The Hankook is the cheapest of those four by a clear margin, and the Kumho, fifth and rated good, is cheaper still. The Michelin was the most expensive set in the test and very strong on snow, but further back in the wet, and Auto Bild advises against the budget Leao and Tomket, whose snow and wet handling results were the weakest in the test. For the complete data and methodology, see Auto Bild's original test.
