Here is the 17" version of the excellent ADAC 2024 winter tyre test! As with the 16" ADAC test, there's no huge surprises from the data, it's an impressive showing from Goodyear Dunlop to take the top two places, and Vredestein continues to impress in winter tyre tests with the Wintrac Pro (not the new Plus version.)

Continental will be surprised that its second tier brand Semperit out performed the TS 870 P, and the Davanti Wintoura + manages to offer the worst wet grip and snow grip, which is impressive in its own right. Unusually, there was no Michelin in this test.

Read on for the full data below.

Dry

The Kumho WinterCraft WP52 offered the shortest dry braking distance, coming to a stop in 42.1 metres. Several other tyres also performed well, with stopping distances ranging between 42.9 and 44 metres. The Firestone Winterhawk 4 recorded the longest braking distance at 45.7 metres, highlighting the significant variation in dry braking performance among the tested tyres.

Wet

In wet braking tests on asphalt, the Pirelli Cinturato Winter 2 delivered the best performance, stopping in 34.2 metres. The Continental WinterContact TS 870 P, Dunlop Winter Sport 5, and Firestone Winterhawk 4 also performed respectably, with stopping distances ranging from 34.6 to 34.7 metres. At the other end of the scale, the Davanti Wintoura + took 41.3 metres to stop, underscoring the importance of wet braking capability when selecting winter tyres.

The Dunlop Winter Sport 5 achieved the shortest wet braking distance on concrete, stopping in 37.6 metres. Close behind were the Continental WinterContact TS 870 P and the Pirelli Cinturato Winter 2, with distances of 38.2 and 37.7 metres, respectively. The Davanti Wintoura + was once again last, requiring 46.8 metres to stop.

The Hankook Winter i*cept RS3 showed the best resistance to longitudinal hydroplaning, maintaining grip at 80.5 km/h. The Firestone Winterhawk 4 and Semperit Speed-Grip 5 also performed admirably, holding grip at 78.6 and 78.7 km/h, respectively. The Davanti Wintoura + and Triangle WinterX TW401 lost grip at 68.3 km/h.

Snow

The Kenda Wintergen 2 KR501 achieved the shortest braking distance on snow, stopping in 9.3 metres. The Dunlop Winter Sport 5 and Triangle WinterX TW401 were also strong performers, with stopping distances of 9.6 and 9.5 metres, respectively. The Davanti Wintoura + required 11.0 metres.

The Vredestein Wintrac Pro provided the best traction on snow, achieving a traction rating of 238 DN. The Goodyear UltraGrip Performance 3, Hankook Winter i*cept RS3, Kenda Wintergen 2 KR501, Pirelli Cinturato Winter 2, and Triangle WinterX TW401 also performed well, with results between 230 and 234 DN. The Davanti Wintoura + offered the lowest traction at 202 DN, indicating a wide range of traction capabilities in snowy conditions.

Ice

The Pirelli Cinturato Winter 2 recorded the shortest braking distance on ice, stopping in 16.1 metres. Close contenders were the Continental WinterContact TS 870 P and Vredestein Wintrac Pro, with distances of 16.6 and 16.8 metres, respectively. The Davanti Wintoura + rounded out its excellent grip performance, last, over 5 meters behind from just 20 km/h.

Value

The Kenda Wintergen 2 KR501 was projected to offer the highest mileage at 65,100 km. The Goodyear UltraGrip Performance 3 also showed promising results with a predicted mileage of 57,500 km. The shortest predicted mileage was for the Yokohama BluEarth-Winter V906, at 35,700 km.

The Goodyear UltraGrip Performance 3 demonstrated the lowest tyre abrasion, measured at 55.0 mg/km/t. The Hankook Winter i*cept RS3, Kenda Wintergen 2 KR501, Semperit Speed-Grip 5, Triangle WinterX TW401, and Viking WinTech followed with abrasion levels between 56.0 and 59.0 mg/km/t. The highest level of abrasion was recorded by the Yokohama BluEarth-Winter V906 at 95.0 mg/km/t, indicating significant variation in wear among the tyres.

It lacks precision and feedback on dry roads, requiring steering corrections and exhibiting a tendency to oversteer. However, its braking distance on dry surfaces is good. On wet surfaces, it has a very low grip level and a tendency to understeer or oversteer early, resulting in poor handling. Its braking and aquaplaning resistance are also poor. On snow, it offers only satisfactory performance with limited handling precision. Its environmental performance is average, with a good lifespan and low abrasion, but a high weight impacting its efficiency. Negative marks are given for manufacturing residues on new tyres.
