2025 ADAC Winter Tyre Test
The CST Medallion Winter WCP1 receives satisfactory ratings on dry and wet roads but poor winter performance, resulting in poor overall driving safety despite satisfactory environmental performance for a poor overall judgment. On dry roads, it shows only adequate precision and steering feedback requiring frequent corrections, with significant oversteering tendencies and adequate limit behavior, but achieves satisfactory ratings overall thanks to above-average braking distances. On wet surfaces, it achieves satisfactory ratings with good braking and longitudinal aquaplaning but only satisfactory lateral aquaplaning and adequate handling due to weak grip, low limits, and inadequate force combination. In winter conditions, it receives poor ratings despite satisfactory snow braking and traction, with poor handling performance due to inadequate force combination resulting in very imprecise control and very low limits with early under/oversteering tendencies, plus only adequate ice braking. This Turkish-manufactured tyre receives satisfactory environmental ratings with good predicted mileage and tyre wear, but satisfactory efficiency due to high weight despite good fuel consumption impact.
