Autobild are back at it again, this year testing a massive 55 winter tires in wet braking, then taking the top 33 to a snow braking test, all to find out the safest 20 winter tires in the wet and snow to put through to their full test!

No one tests as well as AutoBild, check out the glorious data below. There were no huge surprises, other than perhaps the GT Radial WinterPro 2 Evo finishing an excellent third place overall. GT Radial have been quickly improving their products, and it's great that the hard work is paying off.

The new Bridgestone Blizzak 6 Enliten seems to pick up where the LM005 left off, performing the best in the wet, and Kumho continue the excellent results of the WP52.

Keep an eye on Autobild for the full test next week.
