For the 2022 ADAC tire test, the German publication have tested the small 185/65 R15 tire size (this test) usually fitted to city cars and hatchback vehicles, and the crossover SUV size of 215/60 R16 which can be read here.

Sadly, as usual there's no actual data provided behind the scores, but ADAC have graded and commented on all the tires in detail which you can read below.

There are few talking points of this test. The ultra low rolling resistance Continental EcoContact 6 scoring surprisingly well in wear and the wet, other than aquaplaning resistance which downgraded its overall position, and Giti scoring a well deserved sixth place overall with the Synergy H2.

Goodyear won the test with another well rounded performance for the EfficientGrip Performance 2, which also won the Tire Reviews 16" test. ADAC also test wear, which Tire Reviews didn't have the chance to, and thankfully the EfficientGrip Performance 2 was one of the best in test.

Bridgestone again scored well with the T005, however it came with the warning that the tread life wasn't up to the best in the test, and Michelin rounded out the top 3 with another excellent performance for the Primacy 4.
