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.

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.

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

Tests from 2023
Winter-focused tyre that is enjoyable to drive on snow, while being safe on wet and dry.

Tests from 2023
Wintrac Pro is a winter option from a dutch manufacturer that is getting a bit outdated, but on wet and dry roads it still holds up with the premium segment.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.

Let's break down the sizing - 45 is height of the tyre, which is calculated as 45% of the tyre width (275mm), which means the sidewall height has 123.75 mm.

The total circumference of the tyre is 2373.47 mm, which is very similar to 275/40 R21(2366.88 mm), 245/50 R20(2365.62 mm), 285/35 R22(2382.27 mm), 265/70 R15(2362.48 mm), 245/60 R18(2359.96 mm), 245/65 R17(2357.14 mm), 245/70 R16(2354.31 mm).
