Michelin Pilot Alpin 5 SUV
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.

Bridgestone Blizzak LM-005
A great winter tyre with balanced handling characteristics. Great in the wet, but slightly less durable than newer models.

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Wintrac Pro is a winter option from a dutch manufacturer that is getting a bit outdated, but on wet and dry roads it still holds up with the premium segment.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

Falken Eurowinter HS02 Pro
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 ...?
295/40 R20 doesn't belong to the most popular dimensions for winter tyres - there are 20 tyre models available, which can be compared to 175/65 R15, 175/65 R13, 185/60 R14. Let's break down the sizing - 40 is height of the tyre, which is calculated as 40% of the tyre width (295mm), which means the sidewall height has 118 mm. The wheel diameter is R20, which means it fits to a 20 inch/508mm diameter wheel. The total circumference of the tyre is 2337.34 mm, which is very similar to 225/75 R16(2337.03 mm), 265/35 R22(2338.29 mm), 265/40 R21(2341.74 mm), 265/45 R20(2345.2 mm), 235/55 R19(2328.23 mm), 265/50 R19(2348.65 mm), 315/30 R22(2349.28 mm). There are multiple speed indexes available for winter tyres in 295/40 R20: Q(160km/h), T(190km/h), V(240km/h), W(270km/h). The same goes for weight indexes: 106, 110.
