Dunlop Winter in tyre tests

Relevant tyre tests in same or similiar dimension (225/55 R16)

Autobild Winter tyre test 2025 225/40 R18
exemplary
Ranked #2 of 20

2nd of 20 — final rating: Exemplary. The tyre stood out for excellent comfort and very low exterior noise while delivering outstanding traction and confident cornering on snow; testers praised its high traction and lateral guidance and its strong price–performance balance. The only notable drawback was a slightly longer braking distance on dry surfaces. It did not place last in any measured property.
