The tyre from BfGoodrich used in the test is Winter 1st gen, NOT Winter 2nd gen. Check the ADAC site.
Thank you George, we'll check it out and update the site during the next database update.
You have done nothing about this. Check ADAC test: https://www.adac.de/infotes...
Number 2 means footnote, not a second generation of this tyre.
Thank you for the reminder, it took a year but the article is now updated!
