    I fail to see how the Kleber can be put higher than the Bridgestone given the performance of the Bridgestone in wet and snow, the most important two aspects for a winter tyre that is likely to be used Autumn to Spring.

      This is a guess, auto bild run a devaluation system, if a tyre has a major flaw it can't finish ahead of others that don't. The Kleber doesn't have any major flaws, but the Bridgestone does.

    Is it me or the Kleber Krisalp HP3 (Nº 3) and the BFGoodrich GForce Winter2 (Nº 11) have the exact same tread pattern? They even seem to have the same performance in almost all categories, except in the dry.

      yes, both tires are identical, so it is really weird to see this differences in the tests.
      Also interesting is to compare results for BFGoodrich with actual ADAC test, for dry absolutely different results.

        There's potentially some compounding tweaks between the two if they're going out at different prices, it's cheaper to use the same mould and tweak the ingredients.

          I would say that the key is in importance of series (DOT, eg). Somewhere »Kleber« have advance, on other test »BF Goodrich«.
          This said, there's a pub story that »Klebers« have bigger QC tolerances.

          Also, I didn't saw this particular winter »Laufenn« in vivo, but on pictures looks very similar - if not the same - as »Hankook«. In light of fact that »Hankook« has informed us that some older models will be rebranded as »Laufenn« (starting officially with »Laufenn Z Fit EQ LK03« instead »Hankook Ventus S1 K107«) and information about new Alp-type winter »Hankook« from yesterday, could this already be the case with tested winter's?

    »Fulda Kristall Control HP2« was on the test, not »Fulda EcoControl HP2«.

      Good spot, that had actually been updated but the website had an old copy with the error cached :(
