The full test

The evidence behind the verdict

We look forward to the big Autobild braking tests in every season, and this year Autobild have tested 51 winter tires in wet braking (plus a summer tire), with the best 31 moving onto a snow braking test.

The top 20 combined distances from the wet and snow braking tests will feature in the full AutoBild winter tire test, on the site next week.

Test setup & methodology

The test setting, the conditions recorded and how the results contribute to the score.

Recorded test conditions

Recorded test conditions

Wet Braking
49.7 → 0.0 mph
Snow Braking
31.1 → 0.0 mph

Wet

The summer tire demonstrated the performance gap that winter tires must overcome in wet conditions, stopping from 50 mph in just 100 feet - significantly shorter than any winter tire. Among the winter tires, Goodyear led the wet braking performance at 107 feet, followed closely by Michelin at 109 feet and both Dunlop and Toyo at 109 feet. The spread in performance was substantial, with the top performers managing stops around 33-115 feet, while the poorest winter tires required over 148 feet - a difference that could prove critical in emergency situations.

The difference between best and worst was 47.4% (48 ft ≈ 3.2 Car Lengths). From 80 mph, the Windforce Snowblazer UHP would still be travelling at 42 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.

Snow

In snow braking from 31 mph, the winter tires demonstrated their purpose-built advantage over the summer reference, which required 168 feet to stop. Kleber achieved the shortest snow braking distance at 89 feet, with BF Goodrich close behind at 90 feet. Dunlop and Michelin followed at 27.5 and 91 feet respectively. The top performing tires clustered tightly between 27-95 feet, while the weakest performers extended beyond 105 feet, highlighting significant differences in snow compound and tread design effectiveness across the market.
