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 UltraGrip Performance 3 is one of the best tyres we have seen in the tests and on top of that it's top discipline is snow performance while maintaining great properties on wet, which makes it a great candidate for snowy climates.

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.

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.

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.

Winter-focused tyre that is enjoyable to drive on snow, while being safe on wet and dry.

Wintrac Pro is a winter option from a dutch manufacturer that is getting a bit outdated, but on wet and dry roads it still holds up with the premium segment.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.

Very good traction on snow for a nice price in a wide range of dimensions. Could use shorter braking distance on dry and better traction on the wet.

Did you know ...?
235/60 R18 doesn't belong to the most popular dimensions for winter tyres - there are 66 tyre models available, which can be compared to 235/35 R19, 245/40 R19, 195/55 R16. Let's break down the sizing - 60 is height of the tyre, which is calculated as 60% of the tyre width (235mm), which means the sidewall height has 141 mm. The wheel diameter is R18, which means it fits to a 18 inch/457.2mm diameter wheel. The total circumference of the tyre is 2322.27 mm, which is very similar to 285/45 R19(2321.95 mm), 295/35 R21(2324.46 mm), 255/70 R15(2318.5 mm), 255/65 R16(2318.18 mm), 255/60 R17(2317.87 mm), 255/55 R18(2317.55 mm), 255/50 R19(2317.24 mm). There are multiple speed indexes available for winter tyres in 235/60 R18: H(210km/h), Q(160km/h), R(170km/h), S(180km/h), T(190km/h), V(240km/h), W(270km/h). The same goes for weight indexes: 103, 107, 110. You can find 235/60 R18 on 22 car models - mainly Land Rover, Audi, Hyundai, Jaguar, Mercedes-Benz.
