Below are all the data points for the 2015 ADAC Winter Tyre Test - 205/55 R16, displaying how each tyre performed across all test categories. The spider chart below provides a complete overview of performance, where one hundred percent represents the best performance in each category. The larger the area covered by each tyre's plot, the better its overall performance.
How to read these charts:
For each test category, data is presented relative to the best performing tire. The direction indicates whether lower or higher values are better - pay close attention to this when interpreting results.
Spider chart cannot be displayed because there are no test categories common to all tires.
I had two tyres from the top 3: Continental TS (below average in all situation) and Goodyear Ultragrip (a disaster on wet), and also Michelin Alpin (a pity on snow and ice).
Now I drive on Avon Ice touring ST, the looser of this test, and it's by far the best winter tyres I ever had... Amazing isn't it ? Very good on wet and dry, I could keep them as summer tyres, and incredible traction in snow.
What's wrong with these tests ? Does it depend on the type of car used for testing, or is it just not honest ?
It may be that you are not honest...not the tests.
What makes the overall score? GY UG9 outperform Yokohama in almost everything except dry handling (which is not such important in winter conditions, when it is usually wet and with snow) and it is on the third... As many others as i see... What is the criteria?
Hi,
ADAC usually weight snow / ice > wet > dry.
Is there a typo on the Bridgestone Blizzak ? .... for Wet = 0.7 ... ?
5th: Bridgestone Blizzak LM001
Total: 50.1 / Dry: 7.8 / Wet: 0.7 / Snow: 8 / Ice: 6 / Rolling Resistance: 8 / Noise: 5.6 / Wear: 8 / Overall: 6
Thanks for clarifying
Hi Stephenn,
Thanks for noticing the issue, this has now been updated (it should have been 7.2)
