The full test

The evidence behind the verdict

As with this years Tire Reviews winter tire test, Auto Bild Sportscars conducted a winter tire test in the 235/35 R19 size. 

While we had a slightly different test field, the good tires were still good, which is always nice. The cheap tires in this test, a Radar and Auto Green, again prove that you get what you pay for, with both tires doing well in one category (snow) but then being complete disasters in the dry and wet.

Dry

In the dry braking test, the Goodyear UltraGrip Performance 3 performed best among winter tires, stopping in 136 feet from 62 mph. The worst-performing winter tire was the Autogreen Snow Chaser 2 AW08, which took 159 feet to stop - a difference of 23 feet or about 17% longer. Notably, the reference summer tire outperformed all winter tires, stopping in just 122 feet. This highlights the superior dry performance of summer tires, with even the best winter tire needing over 13 feet more to stop.

The difference between best and worst was 30.4% (37 ft ≈ 2.5 Car Lengths). From 80 mph, the Autogreen Snow Chaser 2 AW08 would still be travelling at 30 mph when the Goodyear UltraGrip Performance 3 had stopped.

Residual speed is calculated from the measured braking distances, assuming constant deceleration; it is not a separate measurement.

The Michelin Pilot Alpin 5 achieved the highest average speed of 64.1 mph in the dry handling test among winter tires, while the Autogreen Snow Chaser 2 AW08 again performed worst at 58.1 mph - a significant 6.0 mph difference. The reference summer tire excelled here too, managing 65.8 mph, demonstrating its superior dry grip and handling characteristics. The gap between summer and winter performance is less pronounced in handling than in braking, but still noticeable.

The difference between best and worst was 11.7% (7.7 mph).

Wet

In wet conditions, the Bridgestone Blizzak LM005 stopped in the shortest distance of 158 feet among winter tires, while the Autogreen Snow Chaser 2 AW08 required a dangerous 266 feet - an alarming difference of 108 feet or about 68% longer. Interestingly, the reference summer tire's performance (161 feet) was very close to the best winter tires, showing that top winter tires can match or even exceed summer tires in wet braking.

Residual speed is calculated from the measured braking distances, assuming constant deceleration; it is not a separate measurement.

The Bridgestone Blizzak LM005 again led the winter tires with an average speed of 52.0 mph in wet handling, while the Autogreen Snow Chaser 2 AW08 struggled at 44.4 mph - a difference of 7.6 mph. The reference summer tire achieved 50.8 mph, falling between the best and average winter tires. This suggests that while summer tires generally excel in dry conditions, specialized winter tires can outperform them in the wet.

In the straight aquaplaning test, the Dunlop Winter Sport 5 performed best among winter tires, maintaining control up to 55.4 mph. The Radar Dimax Alpine fared worst, losing control at 49.4 mph - a 6.0 mph difference. The reference summer tire outperformed all winter tires at 56.9 mph, indicating superior water dispersion in straight-line aquaplaning situations.

Snow

In snow conditions, the Autogreen Snow Chaser 2 AW08, which struggled in dry and wet tests, excelled with the shortest braking distance of 97 feet. The Ceat WinterDrive Sport had the longest distance at 104 feet - a relatively small 2.1-meter difference among winter tires. The reference summer tire performed poorly, needing 197 feet to stop, more than double the distance of winter tires, highlighting the crucial need for winter tires in snowy conditions.

Residual speed is calculated from the measured braking distances, assuming constant deceleration; it is not a separate measurement.

The Michelin Pilot Alpin 5 demonstrated the best snow traction with 2260 N of pulling force, while the Hankook Winter i cept evo3 produced the least at 2037 N - a difference of 223 N or about 11%. The reference summer tire was vastly outperformed, managing only 760 N, less than a third of the best winter tire's traction. This enormous difference underscores the importance of winter tires for acceleration and hill-climbing in snowy conditions.

The Autogreen Snow Chaser 2 AW08 continued its strong snow performance, achieving the highest average speed of 38.7 mph in snow handling. The Hankook Winter i cept evo3 was slowest at 36.7 mph - a relatively small 2.0 mph difference. The reference summer tire's performance was not reported, but based on other snow tests, it would likely be significantly worse than all winter tires.

Value

The Continental WinterContact TS 870 P had the lowest rolling resistance at 8.19 kg/t, potentially offering the best fuel efficiency. The Radar Dimax Alpine had the highest at 9.92 kg/t - a significant 21% difference that could impact fuel consumption. Interestingly, the reference summer tire had a very low rolling resistance of 8.15 kg/t, slightly better than the best winter tire, indicating that the specialized winter tread compounds and patterns generally increase rolling resistance compared to summer tires.
