If you enjoy sporty driving in winter conditions, the PA5 SUV is the go-to tyre. It's usually the best in the snow in all the tests, while maintaining balance and safety in other conditions. Only downside is high rolling resistance, which is why it hasn't won all the tests it was in.
Tests from 2024
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.

A great winter tyre with balanced handling characteristics. Great in the wet, but slightly less durable than newer models.

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.

Did you know ...?
235/55 R20 doesn't belong to the most popular dimensions for winter tyres - there are 7 tyre models available, which can be compared to 155/60 R15, 160/60 R18, 165/60 R14. Let's break down the sizing - 55 is height of the tyre, which is calculated as 55% of the tyre width (235mm), which means the sidewall height has 129.25 mm. The wheel diameter is R20, which means it fits to a 20 inch/508mm diameter wheel. The total circumference of the tyre is 2408.03 mm, which is very similar to 285/45 R20(2401.75 mm), 295/40 R21(2417.14 mm), 255/70 R16(2398.29 mm), 255/65 R17(2397.98 mm), 255/60 R18(2397.66 mm), 255/55 R19(2397.35 mm), 255/50 R20(2397.04 mm). There are multiple speed indexes available for winter tyres in 235/55 R20: H(210km/h), R(170km/h), T(190km/h), V(240km/h), W(270km/h). The same goes for weight indexes: 102, 105, 110.
