2013 Winter Tire Overview - Braking

Data analyzed and reviewed byJonathan Benson

October 14, 2013 18 min read Updated January 8, 2025

Here's an excellent winter tire overview from Auto Bild, who managed to test 50 winter tires in a shoot out format to decide the tires submitted to their top 15 super test.

As always, every tire was tested in wet braking from 50mph, with the best 24 of those being tested in snow braking from 31mph.

The Braking Results

Please note: Auto Bild considered places 24-50 so dangerous they did not test them in the snow. Our results show 0 feet for formatting reasons

Thanks! But I would like to see other test results. When will you publish the results of 2014 Winter Tire Overview? I like the concrete break distance :-)
