2025 ADAC Winter Tire Test

ADAC are one of the most respected sources of tires tests for a good reason, they are fully independent, and do things most others cannot do such as wear tests, real world fuel usage tests instead of a machine measurement of rolling resistance, and even ice testing for their all season and winter tests.

For their 2025 winter tire test, ADAC have tested a huge 32 patterns in 225/40 R18. Below is the summary data, be sure to check out the full details on their site.

225/40 R18

• EU Label: C/B/71
• Origin: France/Romania
• 3PMSF: yes
• Price: 177.00

The Continental WinterContact TS 870 P narrowly misses a good driving safety rating due to its winter road performance but still achieves a good overall score thanks to its strong environmental performance. For driving safety, the tire provides good steering feel on dry roads with largely spontaneous response and good precision, maintaining good performance limits that allow stable and safe obstacle avoidance with clearly good braking performance from 100 km/h.

Kleber Krisalp HP3

225/40 R18

• EU Label: D/B/69
• Origin: Romania
• 3PMSF: yes
• Price: 143.00

The Kleber Krisalp HP3 misses a good driving safety rating due to its wet road performance and, despite achieving a good environmental rating, only manages a satisfactory overall score. For driving safety, the tire provides good steering feel on dry roads with largely spontaneous response and good precision, maintaining good performance limits that allow stable and safe obstacle avoidance with good braking performance from 100 km/h. However, on wet surfaces, it clearly fails to achieve good ratings - while it narrowly misses good scores for braking distances, it clearly performs only at a satisfactory level in handling due to moderate grip levels that cause the test vehicle to understeer earlier than desired, and while it achieves good longitudinal aquaplaning resistance, its lateral aquaplaning performance is also only satisfactory. In winter conditions, the Krisalp HP3 regains good ratings with good performance in ice and snow braking distances and snow traction, and even achieves very good ratings for handling where the test vehicle can always be controlled safely and precisely with many reserves in limit situations. Regarding environmental performance, this Romanian-manufactured tire receives good ratings with good predicted mileage, low tire wear, and good efficiency primarily due to low fuel consumption, though production residues on new tires that unnecessarily end up in the environment during the first kilometers are noted as a negative point.

Nokian Snowproof P

225/40 R18

• EU Label: C/B/70
• Origin: Finland
• 3PMSF: yes
• Price: 148.00

The Nokian Tires Snowproof P fails to achieve good ratings on all three road surfaces and therefore misses a good overall driving safety score, and despite achieving a good environmental rating, only manages a satisfactory overall evaluation. For driving safety, the tire provides only satisfactory steering feedback and precision on dry roads, requiring occasional corrections during steering input and cornering due to its elastic response feel, and the test vehicle tends to oversteer during dynamic evasive maneuvers or lane changes with only satisfactory limit behavior, though it achieves good braking distances that are slightly above average for the test field. On wet surfaces, the Nokian delivers satisfactory overall performance - while it still scores well for braking distances, it only achieves satisfactory ratings for both longitudinal and lateral aquaplaning resistance and handling, where the tire tends to understeer early and lacks precision with moderate limit performance. In winter conditions, the Snowproof P also only manages satisfactory ratings overall, achieving good scores only for ice braking while receiving satisfactory evaluations for snow braking distances, traction, and handling, where the test vehicle cannot be steered with particular precision and the limit range is again only at a moderate level with early tendencies toward under- or oversteering, though the tire still offers some reserves. Regarding environmental performance, this Finnish-manufactured tire receives good ratings with good predicted mileage and tire wear, plus good overall efficiency primarily due to low fuel consumption, though its weight is rated only as satisfactory.

Momo North Pole W 20 EUROPA

225/40 R18

• EU Label: D/B/72
• Origin: Serbia
• 3PMSF: yes
• Price: 115.00

The Momo W-20 North Pole fails to achieve good ratings on dry and winter roads and therefore misses a good driving safety score, and also only manages a satisfactory environmental rating, resulting in a satisfactory overall grade. For driving safety, the Momo shows slight weaknesses in precision and steering feedback on dry roads, with limit behavior rated as only satisfactory compared to the test field - the test vehicle should respond more decisively to steering commands and stabilize more quickly when counter-steering, though the tire's braking distances are rated as good. On wet surfaces, the W-20 North Pole achieves a good rating, particularly excelling in braking tests and convincing with good handling where the test vehicle can be steered largely precisely over the course with good grip providing decent safety reserves, though it narrowly misses good ratings for longitudinal aquaplaning and is rated just satisfactory for lateral aquaplaning. In winter conditions, the W-20 North Pole again only manages satisfactory ratings overall - while it achieves good scores for braking tests on snow and ice as well as pure snow traction, it cannot maintain this level in handling where the tire can only satisfactorily combine longitudinal and lateral forces, causing the test vehicle to tend toward under- or oversteering somewhat early depending on the curve, negatively affecting precision and limit reserves. Regarding environmental performance, this Serbian-manufactured tire only achieves satisfactory ratings despite scoring well for predicted mileage and low tire wear, but falls short in efficiency due to higher weight and fuel consumption.

Ceat WinterDrive

225/40 R18

• EU Label: D/C/70
• Origin: India
• 3PMSF: yes
• Price: 136.00

The Ceat WinterDrive fails to achieve good ratings on dry and wet roads and therefore misses a good driving safety score, and despite achieving a good environmental rating, only manages a satisfactory overall evaluation. For driving safety, the tire shows weaknesses in precision and steering feedback on dry roads, lacking the accuracy and directness expected for good ratings during steering input and cornering - steering corrections are needed to maintain the desired path, and during sudden evasive maneuvers the WinterDrive doesn't fully convince as the test vehicle tends to oversteer, especially when counter-steering, with sliding phases that could be shorter, resulting in limit behavior that isn't critical but only achieves satisfactory ratings, though dry braking distances are clearly rated as good. On wet surfaces, the Ceat also only manages satisfactory ratings overall - while it achieves good braking distance scores, it only receives satisfactory ratings for both longitudinal and lateral aquaplaning resistance, and its handling performance is rated as just adequate due to insufficient combination of longitudinal and lateral forces, causing the test vehicle to understeer early and lack precision over the course with moderate limit performance and adequate safety reserves. In winter conditions, however, the WinterDrive achieves clearly good ratings with above-average performance in both snow and ice braking distances as well as snow traction, plus good handling results where the test vehicle can be steered precisely with consistently good reserves. Regarding environmental performance, this Indian-manufactured tire receives good ratings with above-average predicted mileage, low tire wear, and good efficiency thanks to low fuel consumption, though its weight is slightly elevated.

• Price: 110.00

The Matador MP93 Nordicca fails to achieve good results on dry, wet, and winter roads, resulting in only a satisfactory driving safety rating, and also narrowly misses a good environmental score, leading to a satisfactory overall evaluation. For driving safety, the tire shows weaknesses in precision and steering feedback on dry roads, lacking the accuracy and directness expected for good ratings during steering input and cornering - steering corrections are needed to maintain the desired path, and during sudden evasive maneuvers the Matador doesn't fully convince as the test vehicle tends to oversteer, especially when counter-steering, with sliding phases that could be shorter, resulting in limit behavior that isn't critical but only achieves satisfactory ratings, and dry braking distances are also rated as only satisfactory compared to the test field. On wet surfaces, the MP93 Nordicca also only manages satisfactory ratings, failing to achieve good scores for braking distances or longitudinal and lateral aquaplaning resistance, while its handling performance is rated as merely adequate due to poor combination of longitudinal and lateral forces, causing the test vehicle to tend toward under- or oversteering early and for extended periods depending on the curve, preventing precise control over the course with low limit performance and only adequate safety reserves. In winter conditions, the MP93 Nordicca also narrowly misses good results, though it achieves good ratings for snow and ice braking as well as snow traction, its handling performance is only rated as satisfactory since the tire should better combine longitudinal and lateral forces for more precise course control, with moderate limit reserves. Regarding environmental performance, this French-manufactured tire narrowly falls short of satisfactory ratings, just missing good scores for predicted mileage but showing low tire wear and good efficiency thanks to low weight and fuel consumption.

The Uniroyal WinterExpert fails to achieve good ratings on dry and winter roads and therefore misses a good driving safety score, and despite earning a good environmental rating, this isn't sufficient to improve the overall judgment to "good." For driving safety, the tire shows significant weaknesses in precision and steering feedback on dry roads, lacking the accuracy and directness expected during steering input and cornering - constant steering corrections are needed to maintain the desired path, and during sudden evasive maneuvers the WinterExpert doesn't convince as the test vehicle tends to oversteer, especially when counter-steering, with sliding phases that could be shorter, resulting in overall limit behavior that isn't at a high level and is just rated as satisfactory, though dry braking distances are still rated as good compared to the test field. On wet surfaces, the Uniroyal achieves good ratings with both braking distances and handling performance rated as good - the test vehicle can be driven safely and controllably over the course with the tire consistently providing good limit reserves, though its longitudinal and lateral aquaplaning behavior is only satisfactory compared to the test field. In winter conditions, the WinterExpert narrowly misses good ratings, achieving good scores for both snow braking distances and snow traction compared to the test field, but failing to earn good handling ratings as it would need to better combine longitudinal and lateral forces, overall providing moderate grip levels in handling with satisfactory limit reserves, and also only achieving satisfactory ratings for ice braking.

The Fulda Kristall Control HP2 fails to achieve good ratings on dry and wet roads and therefore misses a good driving safety score, and despite earning a good environmental rating, this isn't sufficient to improve the overall judgment to "good." For driving safety, the tire shows weaknesses in precision and steering feedback on dry roads, lacking the accuracy and directness expected during steering input and cornering - frequent steering corrections are needed to maintain the desired path, and during sudden evasive maneuvers the Kristall Control HP2 doesn't convince as the test vehicle tends to oversteer, especially when counter-steering, with sliding phases that could be shorter, resulting in overall limit behavior that isn't at a high level and is rated as adequate, while dry braking distances are also rated as only satisfactory compared to the test field. On wet surfaces, the Fulda also only manages satisfactory ratings - while it narrowly misses good scores for braking distances, its handling behavior is clearly rated as satisfactory due to moderate grip levels and the need to better combine longitudinal and lateral forces, which would positively impact limit behavior and precision, and while its longitudinal aquaplaning behavior is still rated as good, it doesn't achieve good ratings for lateral aquaplaning. In winter conditions, the Kristall Control HP2 just manages to secure good ratings overall, achieving good scores for both snow braking distances and snow traction compared to the test field, but narrowly missing good ratings for ice braking distances and snow handling, where it would need to better combine longitudinal and lateral forces for good scores, offering moderate grip levels and satisfactory limit reserves. Regarding environmental performance, this German-manufactured tire receives good ratings with good mileage, low tire wear, and good efficiency thanks to low weight and fuel consumption.

The Point S Winter S receives only adequate ratings on dry roads and satisfactory on wet surfaces, but achieves good winter performance, though overall driving safety is rated as adequate due to dry road weaknesses. Despite good environmental performance, the overall judgment remains adequate. On dry roads, it shows poor precision and steering feedback requiring frequent corrections, with oversteering tendencies and adequate limit behavior, though braking distances are still good. On wet surfaces, it achieves good braking performance but only satisfactory ratings for aquaplaning resistance and handling due to moderate grip levels and poor force combination. In winter conditions, it just earns good ratings with good snow and ice braking plus snow traction, but narrowly misses good handling scores due to moderate grip and satisfactory reserves. This Slovakian-manufactured tire receives good environmental ratings with good mileage, low tire wear, and good efficiency thanks to low weight and fuel consumption.

Maxxis Premitra Snow WP6

225/40 R18

• EU Label: D/B/70
• Origin: China
• 3PMSF: yes
• Price: 112.00

The Maxxis Premitra Snow WP6 receives only adequate ratings on dry roads and satisfactory on wet and winter surfaces, resulting in adequate overall driving safety despite good environmental performance. On dry roads, it provides only adequate steering feedback and precision requiring frequent corrections as the test vehicle doesn't follow consistent radii, with oversteering tendencies during dynamic maneuvers and above-average long braking distances rated as satisfactory. On wet surfaces, it achieves overall satisfactory performance with satisfactory braking distances and lateral aquaplaning, but only adequate handling due to weak grip levels and poor force combination, though it manages good longitudinal aquaplaning resistance. In winter conditions, it misses good ratings despite good snow braking and traction performance, but fails to achieve good ice braking and only manages satisfactory handling with early under/oversteering tendencies and moderate limit performance. This Chinese-manufactured tire receives good environmental ratings with good predicted mileage, low tire wear, and good efficiency.

Star Performer Stratos UHP

225/40 R18

• EU Label: D/C/72
• Origin: China
• 3PMSF: yes
• Price: 95.00

The Star Performer Stratos UHP receives just satisfactory ratings on dry roads and clearly satisfactory on winter surfaces, but poor on wet roads, resulting in poor overall driving safety despite good environmental performance for a poor overall judgment. On dry roads, it shows adequate responsiveness and steering feedback with imprecise handling requiring constant corrections, oversteering tendencies during dynamic maneuvers with adequate limit behavior, and just manages good braking distances. On wet surfaces, it receives poor ratings overall with very early under/oversteering tendencies and poor force combination compared to other test products, plus very low grip and limit performance, with only adequate braking and lateral aquaplaning but satisfactory longitudinal aquaplaning. In winter conditions, it achieves satisfactory ratings overall with good snow braking and traction performance, but only satisfactory handling and ice braking with adequately precise control, moderate limits, and early under/oversteering tendencies requiring better force combination. This Chinese-manufactured tire receives clearly good environmental ratings with very high predicted mileage, good tire wear, and good efficiency thanks to low weight and fuel consumption.

Tomket Snowroad Pro 3

225/40 R18

• EU Label: D/C/72
• Origin: China
• 3PMSF: yes
• Price: 107.00

The Tomket Snowroad Pro 3 receives adequate ratings on dry roads, satisfactory on winter surfaces, but poor on wet roads, resulting in poor overall driving safety despite good environmental performance for a poor overall judgment. On dry roads, it shows barely adequate responsiveness and steering feedback with very imprecise handling requiring constant corrections, oversteering tendencies during dynamic maneuvers with adequate limit behavior, and narrowly missing good braking distances. On wet surfaces, it receives poor ratings overall with very early under/oversteering tendencies and poor force combination compared to other test products, plus very low grip and limit performance, with only satisfactory ratings for braking and aquaplaning resistance. In winter conditions, it achieves satisfactory ratings across all criteria including snow and ice braking, snow traction, and handling, though control isn't particularly precise with moderate limits and early under/oversteering tendencies requiring better force combination. This Chinese-manufactured tire receives clearly good environmental ratings with very high predicted mileage rated as very good, low tire wear, and good efficiency thanks to low weight and fuel consumption.

Evergreen Winter EW66

225/40 R18

• EU Label: D/C/72
• 3PMSF: yes
• Price: 133.00

The Evergreen EW66 receives poor ratings on all three surfaces, with wet road performance being the main factor in the overall downgrade, plus satisfactory environmental performance due to low predicted mileage for a poor overall judgment. On dry roads, it shows poor responsiveness and steering feedback with very imprecise handling requiring constant corrections, oversteering tendencies during dynamic maneuvers with adequate limit behavior, and only satisfactory braking distances. On wet surfaces, it receives poor ratings overall with very early under/oversteering tendencies and poor force combination compared to other test products, plus very low grip and limit performance, with only adequate braking and lateral aquaplaning but satisfactory longitudinal aquaplaning. In winter conditions, it also receives poor ratings due to poor ice braking performance, despite good snow performance with good braking, traction, and handling that combines forces well with safe, precise control and good limits. This Chinese-manufactured tire receives satisfactory environmental ratings with satisfactory predicted mileage and weight, but good tire wear and fuel consumption.
