2024 ADAC 17 inch Winter Tyre Test

8th of 16 tyres

• The Yokohama BluEarth-Winter V906 achieves a satisfactory rating for driving safety, with good performance on dry and wet roads but falling short on wintery surfaces. It offers precise steering and good braking on dry roads, while on wet surfaces it provides good grip and handling, but only average aquaplaning resistance. However, its performance on snow and ice is less impressive, with limited handling precision and a tendency to understeer or oversteer early. Its environmental performance is also only satisfactory, due to average lifespan, wear, and efficiency, as well as manufacturing residues on new tyres.

2023 ADAC 17 inch Winter Tyre Test

13th of 15 tyres

• Safe properties on wet roads, low fuel consumption.
• Weaknesses in precision and slight weaknesses in behavior at the limit on dry roads, weaknesses on winter roads, second lowest predicted mileage in the test, slightly increased abrasion, higher tire weight.
• The YOKOHAMA BluEarth*WINTER V906 tyre has notable weaknesses on dry roads, including imprecise steering feedback and a tendency to oversteer during sudden maneuvers. Its braking distance, however, is rated as good. On wet roads, the tyre performs well in braking and handling but falls short in aquaplaning with a below-average rating. Its performance on winter roads is satisfactory; it does well in snow braking but struggles with traction, ice braking, and snow handling. Handling is imprecise, and the tyre tends to understeer or oversteer early, offering limited reserves. Environmentally, the tyre receives a good grade, but its predicted mileage and wear are only satisfactory.
