Autobild SportsCars winter tyre test 2025 (235/50 R19) for sporty SUVs: what stood out

If your SUV sits on 235/50 R19—think Audi Q3, VW Tiguan R, Lexus NX F Sport and similar crossovers—this new German comparison puts the current crop of winter tyres through a genuinely demanding programme: snow and ice in Vidsel, Sweden, then wet and dry at Bridgestone’s proving ground in Aprilia, Italy. The test team also ran a modern all-season and a summer tyre as benchmarks on an Audi Q3 Sportback 45 TFSI quattro (AWD, 245 hp).
