2017 50 Winter Tyre Shoot Out

Fifty winter tyres have been put through wet braking tests, with the top thirty also tested for snow braking performance. Only the top twenty have gone through to the full Auto Bild winter tyre test!

With the best winter tyre on test stopping the BMW 3 Series in 32.2 meters, and the worst tyre on test over 50 meters, you can see why it's extremely important to judge a winter tyres performance as much on wet grip as it is snow grip.

Make sure to check out the full Auto Bild winter tyre test to see how the top twenty tyres performed in the full range of wet, dry and snow tests.
