Auto Bild has tested eight all-season tires in the electric-car size 215/55 R18, fitted to a Kia EV3. The wet and dry tests were run at the Hankook Technoring in Taean, South Korea, while the snow work was carried out at the Technotrac facility in Ivalo, Finland. The central question was whether Hankook's iON FlexClimate, the only tire in the group developed specifically for electric cars, could beat the established all-season names. A dedicated summer and a dedicated winter reference tire were run alongside to bracket the results.

It could. The Hankook took the win by being the most rounded tire across every surface, helped by the longest projected tread life in the group. Continental and Pirelli followed closely, both at their best on snow, while Bridgestone leaned on low rolling resistance and dry ability. At the other end, the budget Maxxis and Goodtrip struggled for snow and wet safety, and the very cheap Goodtrip's short tread life took the shine off its low price.

Test setup & methodology

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

Recorded test conditions

Dry Braking: 62.1 → 0.0 mph
Wet Braking: 62.1 → 0.0 mph
Snow Braking: 31.1 → 0.0 mph

The summaries below cover the headline findings from each test. The summer and winter references frame the result in a way that is more revealing than usual. The pure summer tire owns every dry and warm-wet test but is effectively undriveable on snow. The winter tire, though, did not have things its own way: it set the snow braking benchmark, but the Pirelli, Kleber and Continental all beat it in snow traction, handling and slalom, and on dry roads it recorded the longest braking distance and the highest rolling resistance of the whole group. The strongest all-season tires now out-grip a dedicated winter tire on snow while comprehensively beating it in the dry - a real measure of how far the category has come. For the complete data set, every individual measurement and Auto Bild's full methodology and scoring, read the original test.

Dry

The summer reference set the dry benchmark, quickest through the handling course. Among the all-season tires the Hankook was the quickest handler, with Goodyear and Bridgestone next; the winter reference sat mid-pack here, with the Kleber and Goodtrip the slowest.

7Kleber Quadraxer SUV	55.4 mph	-2.1 mph
8Goodtrip Blueguard As	55.0 mph	-2.5 mph

The difference between best and worst was 5.5% (3.2 mph).

The summer reference also braked shortest by a wide margin. Of the all-season tires the Pirelli was best, narrowly ahead of the Hankook, while the Goodyear and Goodtrip needed the most road - and the winter reference needed more still, the longest of anything here.

The difference between best and worst was 31.1% (36 ft ≈ 2.4 Car Lengths). From 80 mph, the Goodtrip Blueguard As would still be travelling at 26 mph when the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 had stopped.

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

Wet

The summer reference braked shortest in the wet too, a reminder that a warm-weather tire still rules in the rain; the Hankook led the all-season tires with a clear margin, and the Maxxis was the weakest.

The difference between best and worst was 20.3% (1.9 ft/s²).

Snow

The winter reference set the snow braking benchmark, just ahead of Continental and Kleber; the Maxxis needed the most room. The summer reference, for context, needed more than twice the best distance and could not complete the handling or slalom tests at all - which is exactly why all-season tires exist.

The difference between best and worst was 124.2% (67 ft ≈ 4.6 Car Lengths). From 80 mph, the Maxxis Premitra All Season AP3 would still be travelling at 21 mph when the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 had stopped.

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

Snow traction is where the surprise begins: the Pirelli produced the highest pull of the field, with the Kleber and Continental next - all three out-gripping the winter reference, which could manage only fourth. The Maxxis was last.

The difference between best and worst was 88.2% (743 lbf).

The Pirelli was fastest through the snow handling course as well, again followed by the Kleber and Continental, with the winter reference only fourth; the Maxxis was slowest, and the summer reference could not be driven here.

8Maxxis Premitra All Season AP3	33.4 mph	-3.0 mph

The difference between best and worst was 8.4% (3 mph).

The snow slalom told the same story - the Pirelli, Kleber and Continental held the most lateral grip and the winter reference came fourth, while the summer reference again could not take part. For three all-season tires to beat a dedicated winter tire across traction, handling and slalom is a striking result.

The difference between best and worst was 42.4% (4.33 Price/1000). Over 25,000 miles the cheapest tire to own (Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6) works out €297 cheaper than the most expensive (Maxxis Premitra All Season AP3).

How this is calculated

Assumes a typical EV using 18 kWh/100km (with rolling resistance causing 25% of energy use), electricity at €0.32 per kWh and €70 fitting per set of four. Purchase prices are from the time of the 2026 test; financing costs are excluded.

Bridgestone had the lowest rolling resistance - useful range for an electric car - while the winter reference was the highest of all, a reminder of the efficiency cost of a pure winter tire.

Results

The Hankook iON FlexClimate wins as the most complete tire of the eight, with Continental and Pirelli the pick for buyers who put snow first. For the full breakdown and Auto Bild's own scoring, see the original test.

Auto Bild Test Winner / Exemplary Testsieger / vorbildlich

The Hankook iON FlexClimate won the test by hitting the middle ground in every condition rather than excelling in one and falling away in another, helped by class-leading wear. It is a strong, safe all-round choice for an electric car, with snow performance and price the only real caveats.

The Kleber Quadraxer SUV finished fifth as a snow-focused, sensibly priced choice. It rewards drivers who value winter ability over outright warm-road handling.

The Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 took sixth as a tire built around dry-road ability and low running costs. It suits warmer, drier use far better than hard winters or heavy rain.

The Maxxis Premitra All Season AP3 finished seventh. It is a workable budget option for mainly dry, mild use, but the shortfall in snow and wet safety and the higher wear count against it.

The Goodtrip BlueGuard AS came eighth. The low sticker price is tempting and the snow performance is a genuine surprise, but poor warm-road handling and rapid wear make it less of a bargain than it first appears.

The winter reference is a dedicated cold-weather tire, included as a baseline. It set the snow braking benchmark - but, tellingly, the Pirelli, Kleber and Continental all beat it in snow traction, handling and slalom, and on dry roads it recorded the longest braking distance and the highest rolling resistance of anything here. Rather than a snow master that merely struggles on tarmac, it was outclassed on both surfaces by the strongest all-season tires, which says a lot about how good the best of this category has become.

The summer reference is a pure warm-weather tire, included as a baseline. It set the benchmark in every dry and wet test, underlining the grip a dedicated summer tire offers in those conditions - but it was effectively undriveable on snow, unable to complete the handling and slalom tests and needing more than twice the best braking distance. That is exactly the compromise an all-season tire is built to avoid.

A little surprising result of the Bridgestone for me. In older tests it used to score better in the wet and worse in rolling resistance. Suddenly, it is the best in rolling resistance and mediocre in the wet. But whether it is a quirk of this size or effect of heavier EV or updated compound... I guess we'll never know.

Thanks for another excellent review. Did AutoBild disclose which summer and winter tires were used as the reference tires?

  No, they generally dno't disclose. Maybe you could ask them, they're linked in the header of the article. I'm not sure if they'd tell you but worth a try.
