Not every driver has the same priorities. Adjust the category weightings above to re-rank the tyres based on what matters most to your driving style.
Scores are colour-coded from red (weakest) through yellow to green (strongest) to help you quickly spot each tyre's strengths and weaknesses.
The original test ranking is shown in the # column. Arrows indicate how each tyre moves when your custom weighting is applied.
I don't get it. How snow tyres can be 27 meters in snow braking meanwhile all-season tyres in snow braking is 16.9 meters. So... with these tests all-season tyres are better then winter tyres? Can someone explain it to me?
Just trying to figure out the distance of snow braking by Gislaved Euro Frost 6 vs Michelin CrossClimate2 and how worse all-season tyres are. But i'm confused now. It can't be that All-season tyres have better snow braking.
The all season tyre was better than ONE winter tyre in this test (from 2018) so I'm not sure what's confusing. There's bad winter tyres and good all season tyres
How so? Take for example the worst all-season tyre Vredestein (18.08 meters) and compare to the best winter tyre GoodYear Ultragrip (27 meters). So.. even the worst all-season tyre outperformed the best winter tyre by 9 meters shorter distance? Maybe i'm not understanding something.
Okey i think i got it. Numbers are just wrong in 2018 winter braking, cuz in your youtube video results seem fine and 2021 winter tyre results are also fine.
Not sure what you're looking at but this is the snow braking result

I'm looking at this page above. 2018 winter tyre snow braking. Best tyre is 27 meters. And then i'm looking at 2021 all-season tyres. Best tyre at snow braking is 16.91 meters. And for example 2021 best winter tyre is 15.67 meters. You sure it's correct numbers in 2018? 27 meters was the best? Just scroll up and check snow braking. If it's correct then it means over 3 years tyres have improved alot. Hopefully now you understood ?
Different conditions and speeds, you can't compare between tests
Yeah i didn't understand at first sorry. I thought both tests are yours. Cheers ? still would be interesting to see gislaved euro frost 6 vs. michelin crossclimate 2 but i'm sure difference wouldn't be big anyways.
It could be that i'm comparing auto bild results to your results. Auto bild results seem very different than yours. Maybe that's the issue.
Looking for advice on 225/55 19 winter tyre for SUV Xtrail. In Yorkshire but drive to Germany and Switzerland in winter.
All the usual suspects work well in the SUV sizes :)
Can't believe I missed the Kleber! Just fallen for the tread pattern, looking at tests and reviews to try and put myself off has conversely resulted in me wishing to advertise a kidney on ebay..... No winter suitable tyres this year leaves me feeling vulnerable. Anybody want a kidney? :-)
I know, Im sad, I should covet X-boxes or something, but im afraid tyres are much more desirable.... :-/
Hi All, From the data on the winter tyres it seems that they could be used all season - would you say that this would be OK? - certainly from a cost basis - it would save money!
I'll answer with a question - if you want an all season tyre, why not fit an all season tyre?
I suppose its more to do with the latter part of my comment - they cost 3x as much!
A good all season and a good winter tyre are pretty much priced the same!
I appreciate that - as the results of the Auto Bild test had the 20 tyres cost from £64.70 to £41.60 - the older test of all season I understood to be £138 plus on those tested! If you can point me to the All season tyre at the £40 to £60 mark I'd be pleased. BUT I wonder if you could say that the winter tyre CAN be used all year safely or NOT?
I would guess those two tests tested different sizes hence the different prices shown...
Yes I see - was just checking the comparison and my size at 17" are significantly more than the 13" which matches the quoted price on this article. Will continue to check through and make a decision on balance between the All season and Winter as I go!
Hi there - I have been enjoying your videos on Youtube and have now subscribed. This is the first year that I am planning on running a dedicated winter tyre on a mk7 Golf R. The challenge I am finding is that a lot of the tyres don't come in 235/35/19 - which is a fairly common performance size. The new Conti 860p does not come in that size, but I am thinking of plumping for the older Conti 850p (quite expensive for an older tyre though). I have yet to find any winter tryre test reviews for this size, but thought I would see if you have any views or thoughts.
Cheers
Jon
Thanks for the kind words. In that size my money would go to Conti, Goodyear or Michelin, can't really go wrong with any of the big three!
Hi John, I have a question and you're probably the only one that can get an answer.
As you know, manufacturers sell brand new "old" model tyre. For example Conti WinterContact TS830P is still sold today in some dimensions, DOT XX18, even if the model is very old.
How does this tyre compound compare to original compound from years ago when this model was introduced? I'm sure it was updated... What do you think? Is this comparable to say TS850P? Thanks!
The compounds do get updated, but there's no guarantee that it has been updated. Usually the newer tyre is the better option as they have more advanced tread patterns and constructions.
Thanks! I know that newer tyre is better, it's just that some tyres are only available as older models in certain dimensions
The logical reply is: The current compound is the same or potentially improved, as this is usually not explicitly commented and you would need to ask the producer directly.
What is known more general is the models comparison, e.g. here: http://www.tyrereviews.co.u...
or here: https://www.continental-tyr...
Would be useful if you can mention what kind of rare dimension you have that you can't find newer model than TS 830P...curious!
Plus don't forget that newest successor for the UHP category from the given producer is http://www.tyrereviews.co.u...
Hope this helps.
Seems to me they've placed too much emphasis on rolling resistance, looking at the graphs the Hankook is a bloody exceptional tyre, yet it ended up quite low down. I can only see the rolling resistance weighting causing this, yet, the economy difference is very slight in real terms, and surely the significant safety benefits offered are of more importance in the winter...
I agree, but 5th overall is still an excellent result for Hankook!
Oh indeed!
