Autozeitung Winter tyre test 2025 245/45 R19
highly recommended
Ranked #1 of 10

1 out of 10 competitors — final rating: Highly recommended. The tyre delivered an all‑round winning performance, with superb wet performance (only narrowly behind in longitudinal aquaplaning), the top dry score thanks to quiet, durable and well‑balanced behavior, and very short braking, strong lateral guidance and secure handling on snow even at the limit. Testers singled it out as absolutely best in lateral guidance on snow, wet handling, dry driving behavior, comfort and exterior noise, and it did not finish last in any measured property.
