This is currently the best rated tyre we have and there is a reason for it - it combines sportiness on snow and dry and very good safety margins on the wet. It’s designed to maintain the joy of driving, even on winter tyres, but still manages to be safe at all times. 100% recommended.

Blizzak has always been a winter tire focused on wet conditions, but with its sixth model, Bridgestone has promised improved snow performance and reduced rolling resistance. Early tests suggest they have delivered on these promises—Blizzak 6 is unmatched in wet conditions and excels on snow, making it ideal not just for city climates.

Continental winter tires have been winning tire tests for many years, and the 870P is no exception. The “P” stands for performance, but don’t be mistaken, its rolling resistance is also praised, making it ideal for EVs. A well-balanced tire.

The WinterCraft WP52 is an affordable winter tire with good safety qualities on snow and dry surfaces, but it has low aquaplaning resistance and tends to understeer in wet conditions.

We really like the new Speed-Grip 5 - it's not expensive, it's very good on snow and on top of that, it's got very low rolling resistance. What it lacks compared to the premium tyres is better wet performance, but given it's price it's definitely recommendable.

While being somehow dated as it was introduced back in 2015, it received some midlife updates and still holds up with the current models, at least in smaller dimensions. At the right price, it could be a great choice.

Wintrac Pro is a winter option from a dutch manufacturer that is getting a bit outdated, but on wet and dry roads it still holds up with the premium segment. It has some
minor weaknesses on snow, but for a lower than premium price it could be a good deal.

EuroWinter HS02 is very good and quite sporty on dry and wet, but lacks some performance on the snow which is the reason for the not so good test results. Weaknesses in aquaplaning and rolling resistance doesn't help either.

Old but gold, that is how we can pretty much describe the Krisalp HP3. It's a winter tyre that is great on snow for a good price, which is what the average driver is looking for. It's not a premium tyre, but you get a lot of bang for your buck.

The czech low-cost tire has high projected mileage and is good on snow, but lacks a bit of wet and dry performance. Pricewise, it can match the low-cost chinese tyres and in comparison, it's definitely a better option.

Did you know ...?
235/40 R19 doesn't belong to the most popular dimensions for winter tyres - there are 22 tyre models available, which can be compared to 175/70 R14, 165/65 R13, 165/70 R13. Let's break down the sizing - 40 is height of the tyre, which is calculated as 40% of the tyre width (235mm), which means the sidewall height has 94 mm. The wheel diameter is R19, which means it fits to a 19 inch/482.6mm diameter wheel. The total circumference of the tyre is 2106.75 mm, which is very similar to 325/25 R20(2106.44 mm), 200/60 R17(2110.52 mm), 265/40 R18(2102.35 mm), 215/50 R18(2111.78 mm), 175/75 R16(2101.41 mm), 235/35 R20(2112.72 mm), 235/45 R18(2100.78 mm). There are multiple speed indexes available for winter tyres in 235/40 R19: T(190km/h), V(240km/h), W(270km/h). The same goes for weight indexes: 92, 96, 110. You can find 235/40 R19 on 13 car models - mainly Aston Martin, Lexus, Peugeot, Alfa Romeo, CITROËN.
