The Finnish publication Tekniikan Maailma has published its 2025 winter tyre test, evaluating a total of fourteen tyres, tested in conjunction with UTAC. The test was split into two categories, with seven studded winter tyres and seven Nordic non-studded (friction) winter tyres being compared. All tyres were tested in the popular 205/55 R16 size, using a Volkswagen Golf as the test vehicle. The tests covered a wide range of conditions, including performance on ice, snow, wet asphalt, and dry asphalt, as well as subjective handling characteristics and economy.

Similar Tests

The test revealed some notable variations in performance. Certain tyres, like the Continental VikingContact 8 and Goodyear UltraGrip Ice 3, were highlighted for their consistently strong and balanced performance across all tested surfaces. Conversely, several tyres demonstrated a clear trade-off between ice grip and asphalt handling. The Bridgestone Blizzak Spike 3, for example, delivered the best grip on ice but was found to have imprecise handling and weaker performance on asphalt. A similar inconsistency was noted in the Michelin X-Ice North 4, which provided excellent grip on ice and snow but was compromised by poor grip and sluggish handling on asphalt. The Pirelli Ice Zero 2 steered precisely but was difficult to control on ice due to oversteer, while the Falken Winterpeak F-Snow 1 was strong on ice but felt restless on snow.

Studded Tyres VS Friction Tyres

A significant finding from the comparison was the continued closing of the performance gap between premium studded and non-studded tyres. The testers observed that the difference in overall rating between the best of each category has become negligible, with the top two non-studded tyres scoring well enough to tie for second place had they been included in the studded group. The data suggests that for many drivers, a high-quality non-studded tyre is a viable choice for winter. However, the test still affirmed the superiority of studded tyres in the most treacherous conditions, such as on ice near 0°C. Under these circumstances, the studs provide a greater safety margin and more consistent grip as temperatures fluctuate, whereas the performance of non-studded tyres can change more dramatically. The testers concluded that while a modern car in less severe winter conditions can be well served by premium non-studded tyres, studded tyres remain a justified choice where maximizing safety is the primary concern, especially for older vehicles or less experienced drivers.

Below is the illustration provided by the magazine which shows studded vs friction tyres on ice at different temperatures.

Dry

On dry asphalt, where winter tyres can often feel less precise than their summer counterparts, a clear performance gap emerged, with some tyres providing surprisingly sharp braking while others, notably the Michelin and Radar patterns, struggled to match the group average.

Wet

Transitioning to wet conditions, the results shifted, highlighting the Goodyear UltraGrip Ice 3 as the strongest overall performer in the non-studded category. Continuing its poor showing on asphalt, the Michelin X-Ice Snow recorded the longest braking distances, falling a significant margin behind the leaders.
