That ended dry and warm weather. It's time for the winter tires come. The site compared the results of current tire tests from leading European editions.

VI Bilägare.

Swedish magazine VI Bilägare published a comparative test of eight models of studded winter tires. VOLVO V40 was used as a carrier motorcycle. Tests on the snow and ice took place at temperatures from -1 ° C to -8 ° C at the Polygon in Ivalo (Finland), and the measurements on wet and dry asphalt were carried out in the range from + 5 ° C to + 14 ° C in Tampere (Finland ). Tire dimension - 205/55 R16.

Test World.

Finnish specialists from Test World specifically for Tekniika Maailma magazine analyzed ten friction and eleven studded winter tires. For the purity of the experiment, the tests on ice and the snow were performed both in the outdoors and indoors at temperatures -11 ° C. The average results of all measurements walked. Media - Volkswagen Golf VII. Tire dimension - 205/55 R16

ADAC

German ADAC Autoclub compared 12 Tires dimension 175/65 R14. Ford Fiesta performed as a carrier. The peculiarity of the German test is an assessment of tire wear-resistant, along with basic parameters.

Test Methods

Experts evaluated tire characteristics in comparison with competitors in the same meteo conditions, on the same car, on four major types of coatings - ice, snow, wet and dry asphalt. All tests include both objective parameters (measurements of the braking distance, overclocking time and passing the circle, noise level, fuel consumption), and subjective (handling on different types of coating, estimated wear assessment).

Owners of crossovers, especially all-wheel drive, are often related to seasonal shift Full summer tires for winter without enthusiasm. After all, almost all native tires are marked with the M + S index that the de jure allows them to ride them in winter. The main thing that residual depth The tread was at least 4 mm (otherwise - 500 rubles fine). But it is necessary to understand that the marking M + s is a smooth account for nothing obliges the manufacturer! For applying marking, no tests or certificates are required confirming the adaptation of the tires to the winter, and therefore it can be seen more often on frankly summer, and "asphalt" tires, which simultaneously talks about devaluation not only the letters s (Snow, Snow), But M (MUD, "Dirt"). So we do not look at the letters, but on the protector, and if we do not see the many small slots-lamellaes, we conclude: it is dangerous to ride in winter. And even better, when there is a stamp "SnowFlake" on the sidewall in the form of three mountain peaks with snowflake, - these models really passed the exam on the snow track. Participants of our test are all with such marking: these are 14 sets with spikes and nine - without.

The test program is standard, all the routes of the White Hell polygon near the Finnish town of Ivalo are familiar to us - and most importantly, to be lucky with the weather. It was almost lucky: snowfall was not, although the temperature danced from 5 to 23 degrees of frost, so that its influence had to be taken into account by conducting additional races on the "reference" tires. But measurements of the longitudinal dynamics took place in a closed hangar with a more stable temperature.

Here, there was a confusion with Nokian tires, and with a model that is not produced by the first year. And in acceleration, and in braking, Nokian HakkaPeliitta R2 SUV lost not only to fundamental competitors, but even the tires of their own "second line" - Tires Nordman RS2 SUV! Working in the neighboring testes of the company Nokian broke up, they themselves repeated measurements ... A service investigation has shown that the failed tires were released at the factory near St. Petersburg at the end of 2016, more precisely on the 48th week. Then there was a failure in the technological cycle. For details with us, we did not become (apparently, there were deviations either in duration, or in the vulcanization temperature), but they assured that the defective party did not go on sale. Although the external features are all in order, and even the tread rubber hardness is the same as on tires released at the 41st week of 2016 (their results and went to the credit), but the difference in coupling properties on ice reaches eight percent.

After measurements in the hangar, we are chosen on the fastening frost - and once again let's notify that as the temperature drops, the friction tires begin to catch up and even overtake "rose". For minus twenty ice becomes hard so much that the spikes cannot scratch it, and the tread riser has the most studded tires harder, - friction tires are more elastic on the frost, they have more general length of slotheliemels.

We, we repeat, take into account the change in conditions and correct the results, but if all the tests were carried out on a light frost, friction tires would roll back on the lower line of protocols.

Tests for controllability were carried out on the ice of the Polar Lake Tammianvi

And on the snow frost on the hand of friction models: keeping the elasticity of the tread, they are better cling to the snowcracker.

The estimates of the passability this time managed to reinforce the instrumental measurements - the overclocking time in deep snow with a disabled anti-test system. It is curious that Russian tires headed and closed the rating: the best - Cordiant, and the most helpless in virgin - Tires Viatti produced by the Nizhnekami bus factory.

Asphalt part of the tests are particularly relevant for residents of large cities, in which most of the streets are purified by snow and ice.

The final part of the tests is already in April, on the "summer" coatings. And simultaneously note that this time there were no tires that are spiked.

At the top of the final rating - Tires Nokian Hakkapeliitta 9 SUV. Expected result: if the model previous generation Regularly won in our tests, then new, and even two types of spikes, easily ahead of competitors.

Expensive? Then look at the points carefully, on the main advantages and disadvantages of other tires - and choose optimal option By pocket. And yet avoid buying outsider tires - such savings threatens incompatible with large expenditures.

Hakkapeliitta with index 9 - new season: For the first time, the spikes of two types are applied. Those in the middle of the tread, have carbide inserts oriented transversely: they are responsible for longitudinal coupling properties, and such trilisters are tested over the tread over the tread, which effectively work in turns. And this is not a marketing trick: unambiguous superiority over competitors and on the run of controllability, and in braking on ice. Yes, and in the rest of the winter tire tests at the height. On the asphalt coupling properties moderate, and the main problem is noise at speeds from 70 to 90 km / h.

This year, Hankook officially opened its Polygon in Finnish Ivalo: the tracks and approaches to the tests are largely similar to those used in the company Nokian Tyres. This also applies to the features of the tires themselves: the number of spikes-stars was increased, which provided decent test results on ice. But in deep snow, the tires do not shine, as well as on the asphalt, and besides fairly noise. But it is easy for them to forgive: Tires Hankook Winter I * Pike RS + one and a half times cheaper than Finnish new items.

The tires are made on the Yaroslavl tire plant and the tread pattern suspiciously resemble the Finnish tires of Nokian Hakkapeliitta 7, which even became a reason for judicial litigation. But Cordiant managed to justify - and increase production volumes, including by expanding the dimension line. Decent tires for their money, but they do not like asphalt roads: they are not very kept, but exchanging is accompanied by a loud and unpleasant roiler of the tread. Tires are not for the city.

Formula - the "second line" of Pirelli. In last year's tests in Lada West, the tires occupied the fifth place, but now the indicators are modest. Especially on ice. Even after running, the speech of spikes above the surface of the tread is less than a millimeter (last year we fixed 1.1 mm on new tires).

There are complaints and to the protector: on the rolled snow - the maximum braking path, and in the virgin - the worst traction abilities.

I wonder if Win is duplicated in the title - is it from the word "win" or from the word "winter"? Better fit, for example, WinTry ("Cold", "Unlucky") or Winch ("winch"). What kind of winter or victory can we talk about if the studded tires are inferior on the ice most friction tires, and on the NEXEN manageability track the most slow in the absolute standings? Tread rubber is clearly not intended to work with low temperaturesWhat is evidenced by its increased hardness.

Of the positive emotions, it remains only relatively quiet (for tires with spikes).

Hatchback-class cars are of great popularity in Europe for their excellent maneuverability in the conditions of urban jungle. There were no exception and Belarusian car enthusiasts, to the advantage of this "family" car for its availability, small-sized and, together with the capacity.

In this review of 2017 from "Wheelpools" We will consider in detail 16 winter rubber models suitable for the CHAKBEK class cars. A practical test of winter tires 195 65 R15 is taken as the basis with the speed index T, conducted by the German ADAC autoclub on one of the most popular models in Europe - Volkswagen Golf.

Test criteria

• Tire Patency.
• Fuel consumption level.
• Noise level.
• Comfort ride.
• Controllability.
• Safety.
• Wear resistance.

The palm of the championship this year earns the model of winter tires of the manufacture of the German Concern Continental, especially distinguished by excellent rates of wet asphalt and snow. The nostril in the nostril with it is two other models, which will be discussed below. All of them distinguished themselves to balanced rates of patency on all types of surfaces, low fuel consumption, low noise, durability, as well as common comfort and safety ride.

The tires of this little-known so far, the honor of the development of which belongs to Goodyear experts, wonderfully showed themselves on an icy road. In combination with common high characteristics and modest fuel consumption, all this puts the model for the honorable second place.

Bronze rightfully earns a Kleber tire model, which also perfectly showed itself in all test criteria. The main plus of these tires is in their increased wear resistance, which allowed her to get around her competitors.

A little bit did not reach the troika leaders the Dunlop production model. Adopted in work on loose snow, dirt and ice, they unexpectedly saved while driving on a dry road surface, showing slightly less high results than previous three models.

Very few points from the rating "5+" was not enough and rubber from goodyear, whose weakness was loose snow. Fortunately, this does not apply to her work on the ice, wet and dry asphalt. Gasoline consumption and overall safety tires allow them to receive a strong fifth place for the test of winter tires 195 65.

Starting with this Hankook model, all tires in our test have weaknesses at least in several test criteria. Showing a good grip on dry asphalt and ice, they received several penalty points while working on snow and wet road.

The same weaknesses as the previous dough participant showed the Vredestein tire model. They also received several penal scores for the wet asphalt and loose snow. In addition, they gave way and wear resistance.

Yokohama's "Golden Star" tires lost due to low clutch indicators on a wet road and a serious degree of wear that allow the models to take the average eighth place in the ranking.

The flaws in the speech of the Falken model were observed in almost all disciplines when passing over ice, wet and dry asphalt, loose snow and dirt.

Firestone's tire rating did not save even decent ride indicators on the icing surface, dry asphalt and snow, as they showed noticeably more low level on the wet asphalt.

A similar problem with the clutch on the wet road surface was observed at the rubber production of Nokian, they were very far behind the test leaders.

The estimates are "good" for the test of winter tires R15 MODEL MICHELIN. Points were removed for high fuel consumption and rather weak clutch on ice and snow.

Only a satisfactory level of work on wet asphalt and snow demonstrated AEOLUS tires, and high wear did not leave them a chance to rise above the modest twelfth place.

Kumho tires failed to drive the snow and wet road. The remaining indicators also had flaws.

The work of Sava tires in the snow is better than in the previous case, which you will not say about driving on wet and dry road surface.

At the end of our list, the sempert rubber rubber, which deserved the assessment of "mediocre" absolutely for all test criteria.

Seasons change This process from which is not going anywhere (if you do not live in the equator, of course), and in the next time the car owners are forced to think about changing tires on their iron horse. And if 20 years ago, the selection was small, now the market is simply a breathtaking number of different brands. Aggravates the flour selection of the presence of a large number of models for each manufacturer, which are also divided into separate types (according to the technology of the tire structure).

Of course, there is always an option to simply "score" and ride as it is. However, as practice shows, the difference in the characteristics of winter and summer rubber is really colossal.

Yes, and the laws regulating seasonality of the car tires from year to year are tightened both in Europe and in Russia. Therefore, you should not neglect the need to change rubber.

No matter how cool, but on your own to experience all the available tire models can not have a single simple driver, but no one has long believed to advertise. That is why numerous editions annually conduct their own tests of tires from different manufacturers and models.

Some standards (for example, by analogy with Euroncap) still no one invented, so everyone does it as it seems necessary. We will try to collect all the information together.

In general, the set of tests of different communities is most likely similar and includes testing for braking, controllability and stability on various coatings, as well as the level of noise of rubber.

Expert publications

Teknikens Varld - Swedish magazine, which regularly tests tires over the past 15 years. In order to cover all possible winter road conditions (dry and wet asphalt, ice and snow), the Swedes compared the tires of all three types (studded, unshakable Scandinan and unsuccessful Evrapie tires). As a test bench for "wheels" with dimension 205/55 R16, Seat Leon was taken.

AUTO Zeitung, together with the German technical supervision organizations, the GTU tested the awkward winter tires 205/55 R16 installed on the Volkswagen Golf. Among other things, the experts took into account fuel consumption for each model, which made their own adjustments to the final result.

Finnish Tuulilasi. Compare exceptionally studded winter tires with dimension 205/55 R16 (taking into account the peculiarities of the national climate). Separate scores, "hot guys" were credited for overclocking on an ice surface, the time of entry into a snowy hill, etc. In general, Finnish tests are oriented rather for the terms of the "tan", where in the winter roads are rarely dry and clean.

SEGERMAN car club Adacspent several tests for different types of tires. First, gaining popularity were tested. all-season models 16-inch tires (205/55 dimension). Given the high culture of road services, not every self-respecting Europeans in the winter has to leave the road purified from snow and land, and this option may well be a beneficial acquisition within Europe.

The following were testing models of compact dimension 185/65 R15 for the vehicle of the budget segment. As expected. The smaller width (and as a result of the contact spot), negatively affects the rubber chain, why even top models showed not the most outstanding results in rags on Renault Clio.

At the same time, the severity of the tests of the German ADAC did not bring special laurels and expensive tires of a higher segment with a dimension of 225/45 R17. Most subjects were able to achieve only the result "satisfactory", and the winner of the first position was "good".

TestWorld - Another Finnish edition, which has experienced a large set of models delivering them by types: studded and untapped Scandinavian tires. To demonstrate the differences in the behavior of the "suction cup" of the European type was tested model Continental ContiWinterContact TS850. The main stop tests were made on ice tests, taking into account the specifics of the local climate.

In contrast to European experts, Korean experts were performed, in the Commonwealth with Autoview. and Joongang Libo.. The 17-inch wheels 225/45 were tested on in conditions of ice and snow, on dry and wet roads. And all this despite the fact that even a minus temperature is rarely a rarely in Korea.

Of course, we could not go around the results of Russian tests.

Edition AutoMail. ru Put in front of him the task of testing cheap models of unwanted winter tires with dimension 205/55 R16. Nokian Hakkapeliitta R2 was used as a reference, the price of which is on average twice the tested wheels. Testing included acceleration, braking and stability on the rammed snow and ice, permeability in loose snow, braking and resistance on wet and dry asphalt. As a bonus, the smoothness of the stroke on the scroll asphalt, as well as resistance to side cuts, was tested.

Behind the wheelIn the meantime, the winter rubber segment was experienced the most popular in our country: 15-inch studded tires in the dimension of 195/65 of the lowest price segment. For clarity, both cheap models and branded, and half of the tested tires are produced in our country. At the end of tests, the tests also measured the residual number of spikes, making it out based on this or that model's vitality.

What types of winter tires are?

But we turn closer to the matter. To begin with, it is necessary to deal with what the "Velcro" differs from "Robing" and what they happen.

At the moment, 3 types of winter rubber treads are considered the most common: studded, untouched Scandinavian and immaculated Central European Types.

Tires with metal spikes have long been known to all car owners. From a long time, such rubber was used in the rally competitions, and then got to civilian use. Such tires are originally designed for riding in the snow and ice. Due to the "vagrants" into the surface of the ice crust, the studded tires are better coping with braking on slippery surface, but there are also negative consequences. Firstly, such tires are strongly noisy, secondly, on dry pure asphalt, steel needles turn into small "skates", which is becoming more "slippery". Although technology does not stand still, it's not going anywhere. Yes, and the road canvas "Shipovka" spoils much stronger, which is why in many countries riding in the summer on winter tires is subject to fines.

An alternative is the use of frictional unwanted tires. They are divided into two subtypes.

"Velcro" of the Scandinavian type, like "rose" oriented on riding in the snow and ice. They have a very soft rubber and developed protector (often with side lamellas). This allows you to increase the contact stain and, as a result, the clutch with the surface. Such tires can be recommended for the expanses of our immense country where the roads are hidden most of the time.

Well, for megalopolises, exhausted tires of the central European type are more suitable. They are initially created for a softer climate and clean roads. They are worse than the snow and ice, but they feel beautiful on the asphalt. They have a smaller amount of soft elements and better remove water from under the wheels.

You should also not forget about the existence of the "all-season" tires. Such so far from the factory are installed on domestic cars and suggest year-round operation. However, universal in any situation is worse than specialized, especially in the context of the Russian climate with its large temperature drop and road conditions.

Continental WinterContact TS 860 -winterawakenedtires, test

Official information

Tires ContinentalWinterContact TS860 is a second generation of a model with a directional tread pattern for soft European conditions (M + S), clutch-oriented with ice. In the WinterContact TS860 tires, the Continental specialists used a new principle of water removal from the contact spot: non-leads with the help of grooves, and encounter from the contact spot, plus a larger number of lamellae and, as a result, more free space (internal lamella cavities) for snow disposal. This allows the bus effectively to cope with the discharge of moisture and snow porridge.

Test results

Continental WinterContact TS 860 This season came to replace the 850th model, which last years occupied the leading positions on the tests. I did not fail and the update: in Teknikens Varld trials, this tire took the third line of the rating, and Auto Zeitung has defined Continental to the first place in the totality of characteristics.

The main positive qualities of Continental WinterContact TS 860 is an excellent adhesion with asphalt in winter conditions. The tire is little subject to aquaplaning, keeps the course with sharp maneuvers, low enough and has an average rate of efficiency. WinterContact has shown one of the best results in braking on dry and wet asphalt, but relatively poorly cope with the holely and loose snow. In general, Continental WinterContact TS 860 is suitable for use in the city and on peeled country tracks.

Goodyear Ultragrip 9.

Official information

Goodyear Ultragrip 9.- Winter tire, has a directional V-shaped tread pattern with aggressive external species. It is well suited for ride not only on wet roads, but also in a pretty deep snow. Thanks to the 3D-BIS brand technology, this model is characterized by a reduced braking, as well as a good response to all the actions of the driver. A rubber mixture is used to create a tire with a special composition, which includes vegetable oils and special resins. The new rubber mixture has a high degree of elasticity due to which Goodyear Ultragrip 9 bus is effective in a wide range of temperatures.

TEST RESULTS

Friction tires Goodyear Ultragrip 9. Testing immediately in two dimensions: the AUTO Zeitung magazine has tried a 16-inch rubber 205/55, while ADAC experienced a budget version of 185/65 R15. In both cases, German experts highly appreciated the characteristics of the model, especially the efficiency of braking and "chain" on loose snow and wet asphalt. In addition, Goodyear UltraGrip 9 has demonstrated high fuel efficiency and noise comfort, but it did not cost without minuses. A soft nothesive tire on dry asphalt behaves quite "Valko", slowly reacting to the turns of the steering wheel, and the tendency to insufficient turning is noticeable.

Michelin Crossclimate.- Winter nothesive tires, test

Official information

Summer tire, which can be used in conditions of suddenly dropped snow. A pronounced directional pattern of a tread with deep drainage channels reduces the risk of aquaplaning. A large number of Michelin Crossclimate tread sectors, supplemented with sharp edges on one side, allow the bus to work effectively on the snow. And the smoothed edges of the blocks on the other side reduce the deformation and increase the reliability of the clutch on the dry coating

A comprehensive rubber mixture applied in Michelin Crossclimate.(Silica, Functional polymers, new plasticizers) improves adhesion on different surfaces (wet and dry road, snow coating), allows you to increase wear resistance and fuel efficiency.

TEST RESULTS

Michelin Crossclimate. - the only all-season tires in this ranking. Despite its wide purpose, this model was able to make a worthy competition to its highly specialized opponents, primarily due to excellent indicators In the conditions of dry and wet road. AUTO Zeitung put in its circusclimate ranking for one step with the awaited winter tires Goodyear Ultragrip 9, which already shows is a high indicator. However, on the snow-covered plots of "Vesonka" expectedly showed itself worse than many. It should be noted that neither in one of the tests "Michelin" did not take the last place, thus exceeding the controllability and chain in the snow even some winter models of competitors. If the operation of the car is limited to the messenger roads of the metropolis, Michelin Crossclimate can be a good alternative to two sets of wheels.

Nokian WR D4.- Winter nothesive tires, test

Official information

New Winter Tires Nokian WR D4 are designed specifically for Central Europe. Unique innovations guarantee safe and balanced driving in conditions of changeable weather, on a wet or snow-covered road. The Nokian WR D4 bus is designed specifically for countries with soft winter climatic conditions, has an excellent clutch on wet surfaces. Nokian WR D4 is the world's first winter tires for passenger cars, providing the level of clutch and on a wet road according to the European Union classification. Special Innovations - Nokian Block Optimized Siping Laminating Technology and Nokian TWIN Trac Silica Rubber Mix - Offer controlled management And confident clutch. Nokian WR D4 tires are recommended for use only in the Southern Federal District.

TEST RESULTS

Inspected winter tires Nokian WR D4.could participate in three trials of different type-sizes. AUTO Zeitung gave the second place with a dimension of 205/55 R16, ADAC gave an honorable third place with 15th Wheels 185/65, but relative to 17-inch tires with a wide profile (225/45 R17) Nokian WR D4 turned out to be a full standard with 6- M Place in the standings. In general, Nokian has achieved good results in controllability on the snow and the braking distance on dry coverage, however, the "wet test" turned out to be "WR D4" not on the teeth, and the rubber wear is relatively high.

Dunlop Winter Sport 5- Winter nothesive tires, test

Official information

Increased blocks increased the number of lamellae, improving controllability and clutch in winter conditions. The lamellas in the central part were parallel to the edges of the blocks, and the steel grooves are 6-10% deeper, which reduces the risk of aquaplaning. The frame design was optimized to reduce weight, which made it possible to reduce fuel consumption.

TEST RESULTS

Dunlop Winter Sport 5- American friction tire tested by AUTO Zeitung magazine. According to German experts, Dunlop with all its merits in the form of a short braking path in the snow and dry surface, high resistance to transverse aquaplaning and high efficiency took only the 7th line of the rating. Such a low position was justified by the tendency to demolish the front axle in the snow conditions, the low-level braking efficiency on the raw surface, as well as the "rolling" of the wheels with sharp maneuvering.

Where better the characteristics of the 17-inch version of Dunlop Winter Sport 5 (width 225 mm, the profile height is 45% width). Perhaps a larger point of contact influenced all the flaws of the younger model, so that the rubber has acquired more balanced characteristics. The 17-inch Winter Sport 5 was awarded the first place in the ADAC rating due to balance (good results on the wet surface and snow, and on dry asphalt and ice) and high fuel efficiency.

Hankook.Winter.i.* cEPT.evo.2 W.320 - Winter nothesive tires, test

Official information

Winter I'cept EVO tire with a pattern resembling a white bear trail provides excellent clutch with an expensive, which significantly improves the characteristics of the tire on a snow-covered, wet and dry road. The use of an improved silicon mixture, three-dimensional lamellae and asymmetric tread pattern improves the characteristics of this winter tire, suitable for sports sedans and premium sedans.

TEST RESULTS

Hankook Winter I * CEPT EVO2 W320came to shift Hankook Winter I * CEPT EVO W310and are a fairly new model. Hankook was able to demonstrate the best handling on dry asphalt, where, according to experts, they showed themselves at the level of all-season tires, but in tests in the snow and ice of the tire could not achieve high results. As a result: 5th place in 17-inch rubber tests conducted by ADAC and AUTO VIEW.

Pirelli Cinturato Winter- Winter nothesive tires, test

Official information

Pirelli Cinturato Winter - touring winter tires for mid-class urban cars, as well as compact SUVs. In the absence of anti-slip spikes provide a high level of reliability in any winter conditions. They are also characterized by a long period of operation and good resistance to aquaplaning and slashplanting.

TEST RESULTS

Pirelli manifested themselves definitely good for winter unwanted tires. German ADAC and Autozeitung celebrated high tires on the snow and ice surface. Test cars retained informativeness and clutch even on raw surface, but the test results on dry asphalt were low. This model is unambiguously not considered as an option for operation in megalopolis.

Michelin.Alpin. 5 - Winter nothesive tires, test

Official information

A modified tread pattern contributes to a confident clutch on a snowy road. Michelin.Alpin. 5 with an increase in a 17% negative profile, a large number of sectors and a directional pattern with a high proper depth1. Due to the large number of grooves and special block configuration, the "gear effect" and the traction tire force on the snow-covered surface increases. And with the help of the modified location of the transverse grooves, water dissipation was also improved and the risk of aquaplaning was also reduced.

For the first time in the rubber mixture Michelin.Alpin. 5 Added functional elastomers. The task of these elastomers is to improve the homogeneity of the rubber mixture with increasing the proportion of the silica necessary to increase the adhesion on cold wet roads. Thus, it was possible to improve safety in winter conditions, while maintaining a high level of energy efficiency.

TEST RESULTS

Inspected tires Michelin.Alpin. 5 He fell on tests in the only dimension of 205/55 R16. Experts Teknikens Varls and Auto Zeitung celebrated quite a high traction effort that can develop these tires on the snowy road, and the handling of the asphalt cheese has left positive reviews. However, the decisive factor for the Swedish publication was the inability to quickly brake the car on the snow cover, hence the nine lines in the ranking.

Hankook.Winter.i.* cEPT.RS.2 W.452 - Winter notched tires, test

Official information

Hankook Winter I * SEPT RS2 W452 tires were designed using 3D technology, which was specially designed for this line, helped provide them with the highest performance, safety and adhesion on the snow coverage.

The use of the most advanced technologies in their design led to the fact that the Tires of Hong Kong Winter Ai Sept PC 2 in 452 have an enlarged surface of the groove and a large contact stain. It helps transport, equipped with tires, to be resistant to snow and successfully resist slide, which is formed on the wet road surface.

Rubber Hankook Winter I * CEPT RS2 W452 has a fortified lower cord and panel with a side, which leads to efficient driving on any roads and adequate turn control.

TEST RESULTS

Hankook Winter I * CEPT RS2 W452 - Friction model with a long name from the Korean manufacturer. Auto Zeitung tests have demonstrated excellent resistance to aquaplating, low noise, as well as high traction, predictable behavior and short braking path. But led the rubber at the "Valley" behavior and inability to brake the car on the raw road. And on noise accompaniment, Hankook was not the best companion on the far path.

Michelin.X.- iCEXI3 - Winter nothesive tires, test

Official information

Stable tire operation on all types of coatings, improved clutch and abbreviated brake path on ice are achieved through the use of a unique combination of three structural elements in Michelin X-Ice 3: micropomemps - lamellas - saw-shaped edges. Micropombows are small cylindrical openings located on the upper edge of the external tread unit. They are designed to reduce the negative effect of the aqueous film, which is formed on the surface of the ice and significantly worsens the tire adhesion with the road.

The Flex-Ice rubber mixture with a significant content of silica perfectly supplemented the new MICHELIN X-ICE tread configuration 3. This rubber mixture retains high elasticity at low temperatures and sufficient rigidity at elevated temperature, which improves grip on all types of winter roads. Flex-Ice has high wear resistance, as well as improved coupling properties on a wet road.

TEST RESULTS

About Michelin can be said that these are really good tires, acceptable in any conditions. Although they lack clutch to compare with tires on the upper line of the rating, in the snow and the ice Michelin behaved confidently and logical. However, experts noted that there is an obvious need to increase the number of spikes.

In the tests of Autoview X-ICE XI3, they took the first place in the effectiveness of overclocking, and also well shown themselves with most other tests, but bad results on dry asphalt led to a relatively nobody result.

Bridgestone.BlizzakLM.001 - Winter nothesive tires, test

Official information

Bridgestone Bridgestone Blizzak LM001 - friction winter tires for passenger vehicles, which, according to the manufacturer, are designed to provide security in absolutely any winter conditions. Designed for operation in the winter in Central European countries.

Element Bridgestone Blizzak LM001 - Snow-covered roads. The protector, due to its tenacity, even in the absence of anti-skid, is reliably combined into the snow. Good traction effort and efficient braking on the rolled and loose snow provides directed multicount design with a multitude of lamellae. It will also help to easily enter the snow slide, subject to the presence of an engine from your car with a sufficient burden necessary to overcome the rise with acceleration.

TEST RESULTS

Bridgestone.BlizzakLM.001 , like many of the tested tires showed a rather high result in the snow, which at the beginning do not expect from friction rubber. However, the fact remains a fact, and this can confirm both Swedish Tekniken Varld and the German ADAC Association. However, most often the winter is not so uniform, and the snow is sooner or later replaced with rain, and frosts dried the track to the state of "pure asphalt". That is why, the decisive factor in the assessment of Bridgestone was low results in all conditions, except snow. Such an imbalance of characteristics can mislead any car owner and lead to tragic consequences.

Goodyear UltraGrip Ice. 2 - Winter nothesive tires, test

Official information

Optimized contact with expensive: ActiveGrip technology supports optimal contact with an exceptionally slippery road surface. In combination with cryoadaptive materials, ActiveGrip technology provides excellent ice work.

Confident work on deep snow in Goodyear UltraGrip ICE 2 is achieved due to: the open-on the grooves in combination with the saw-shaped blocks with the collar improve the thawing of the melon and water and improve the operation of the tire on a deep snow.

Excellent braking on ice in Goodyear UltraGrip ICE 2 is achieved due to: active notches on blocks that increase the transfer of lateral efforts during maneuvers, providing an excellent brake path on ice and increasing performance.

Test results.

Goodyear UltraGrip Ice 2 occupied a leading position in its class (Scandinavian-type friction tires) in Teknikens Varld and Testworld tests. This model was able to achieve relatively high results thanks to a good longitudinal and transverse clutch on ice. Although mostly tires behave fairly predictably, including during high-speed maneuvers, sometimes the clutch is lost too sharply. This caused a low position in the overall standings compared to other types of rubber. In behavior, under the rain, UltraGrip Ice 2 was the best, according to Testworld magazine.

Nokian Hakkapeliitta R2.- Winter nothesive tires, test

Official information

Modern friction winter tire Nokian Hakkapeliitta R2.road drivers who are important with the absolute comfort when driving, noticeably reduced fuel consumption and technology of manufacturing unwanted winter tires with the best safety characteristics.

The smallest particles added to the rubber mixture, in shape resembling multifaceted crystals, are combined into the road surface, provide adhesion with the surface while driving and improve the longitudinal and transverse clutch on the ice.

TEST RESULTS

"Velcro" Nokian.Hakkapeliitta R2 was rated as Teknikens Varld and Testworld magazines in winter conditions. And although they did not fall on the ice among the absolute leaders, they had good handling and controllability even after the start of the drift. In the snow, Nokian received high assessments and for the efficiency of braking, and for behavior during emergency maneuvers.

Nokian has enough serious clutch problems on the wet asphalt, and there can also be difficulties on dry coating, since during a sharp maneuver, a grip can be lost on the rear axle. At the same time acoustic comfort and efficiency - at an acceptable level.

FirestoneWinterHawk. 3 - Winter nothesive tires, test

Official information

The optimized design of FireStone WinterHawk 3 is distinguished by an increased amount of tread checkers and their more thick lamellation, which increased the total number of engagement edges that ensure reliable tire clutch with snow and ice. The tread depth, unchanged from the Plecevina to the Plecevin, in combination with zigzag transverse and longitudinal grooves, contributes to the increase in the stability of Winterhawk 3 to Aqua and Slashplanting.

A special form of grooves designed by a special way allows the bus to provide first-class clutch throughout the entire operational period.

TEST RESULTS

Rubber FirestoneWinterHawk. 3 during the tests, the German community ADAC showed an amazing set of characteristics. On the one hand, these tires demonstrated good quality in controllability both on dry asphalt and snow-covered and ice areas. The results of the experiment on the fuel efficiency and noise of the wheels were high, but the high positions of the tires could not be conquered. And the fault of the testing on wet track. It was especially hard to hold the car on the trajectory, as the handling seriously suffered, when the car is derived to raw plots.

UniroyalMS.plus. 77 - Winter nothesive tires, test

Official information

Volumetric, multi-level tread pattern allows UNIROYAL MS Plus 77 tires to easily reset the water and hold on slippery, wet surface, well gripped with asphalt. The special composition of the thermoplastic resin (compound) allows tires easily to cope with any road surfaces, even an unpleasant, rough road surface. The special drawing of the tread on the edges of the tires weakens the deformation of the tire, extending the service life of the rubber.

The increased quantity and width of the lamellae also allows you to remove water from the road surface and provides the clutch of the UNIROYAL MS Plus 77 tires directly with road coating, or snow, and not with a water film. This is a guarantee of reliability and security ride to any weather and at any time of the year.

TEST RESULTS

UniroyalMS.plus. 77 - This is another "snow" unwanted tire. ADAC conducted tests of two tire dimensions: 185/65 R15 and 225/45 R17, however, in both cases, the results turned out to be similar to each other. Juniromal successfully copes with snow bargains, and wet asphalt does not cause any difficulties in the control of the car. But the ability to hold on the road quickly, as soon as the wheels of the car fall on dry smooth asphalt or ice. As for the wear resistance and the efficiency of UNIROYAL MS Plus 77, then the result was no worse than most competitors.

Vredestein.WINTRACXtreme.S.- Winter nothesive tires, test

Official information

As the next stage of development of the WinTRAC Xtreme series, the new WinTRAC Xtreme S tires are designed for complex operating conditions at the lowest temperatures. Due to the excellent clutch with the surface and high control accuracy, the WINTRAC Xtreme S tires provide exceptional safety when driving in the snow, ice or slush, as well as wet or dry cold surfaces. The internal fixing technology of the grooves (ISLT) provides exceptionally high WINTRAC XTreme S tire characteristics, which helps to improve resistance at maximum movement speeds, and thanks to the speed index y, these tires can be used on the most high-speed cars in the world (up to 300 km / h). In addition to the excellent characteristics of the movement in the snow and slush, as well as the ability to withstand the high speed of these winter tires, developed in collaboration with Giugiaro, are characterized by an excellent style.

TEST RESULTS

Tire characteristics Vredestein.WINTRACXtreme.S.according to the results of tests, the total picture is knocked out. These wheels were very resistant to dry and wet asphalt, and the ice for verification was not terrible. Although AUTO Zeitung and celebrated too long braking path on the asphalt cheese, but the largest problems of tires arose on snow tests. Moreover, a wide tire profile (225/45 R17), tested ADAC, did not have a positive impact on the characteristics, and the result completely repeated the tests of 16 wheels by Temetsky AUTO Zeitung.

In addition, the Germans noted the strong susceptibility to wear of rubber, and high rolling resistance, which negatively affects fuel consumption.

Viking.SnowTechII.- Winter nothesive tires, test

Official information

Viking SnowTech II. - winter is not sapped tire, designed for operation in the complex winter conditions of Europe and North America. To achieve high safety and exchange rate stability, engineers designed the original pattern of the directional mold, having a large number of engagement edges, which are formed by the abundant lamellation of the tread blocks. This design guarantees the excellent self-cleaning properties of the tread, which allows you to confidently move in deep snow.

TEST RESULTS

Viking.SnowTechII. Refer to the budget category of untapped winter rubber. Despite this, "Vikings" demonstrated high indicators in controllability and braking in the snow. Unfortunately, for all other characteristics, these wheels were not so good at all, and in particular it concerns the conditions of wet asphalt. Yes, and the noise of rubber leaves much to be desired.

Sava Eskimo Ice.- Winter nothesive tires, test

Official information

Multiradus notch with a small shoulder radius in Sava. Eskimo Ice. Provides the perfect area of \u200b\u200bcontact spot with an outstanding road to improve controllability. Creates a long and wide contact spot with a uniform pressure distribution between the tire and expensive. The reinforced bottom layer of the tread improves the handling on the dry road. A solid lower layer of a tread from a special polymer provides more power when driving.

Increased mileage potential - a longer service life - saving money throughout the service life. Increased tread rubber layer to extend the life of the tire.

TEST RESULTS

For its price category Sava Eskimo Ice. Pretty well accelerates and brake on ice. However, according to experts Testworld, these tires have weak side stability, which complicates control over the car. Front wheels can easily lose adhesion with asphalt. In the snow, the situation is better, and Sava is able to provide good control and "chain."

On the wet asphalt at the SAVA long braking path and unstable behavior, which is generally typically for the tires of this class. Fortunately, the clutch on the rear axle is higher than on the front, so driving the car is relatively easy.

Among other things, Teknikens Varld rated an acceptable level of comfort and economy of this rubber.

Pirelli Icezero Fr.- Winter nothesive tires, test

Official information

This is an excellent choice for those who appreciate comfort when driving, high levels of stability and control on the road in the harsh winter conditions Pirelli.. Ice Zero FR is an alternative to the studded bus in the Pirelli Ice Zero collection: characteristics and high level control. The tire is designed specifically for owners of urban cars, premium sedans and crossovers.

TEST RESULTS

Awakened Pirelli. Icezero FR. It is predictable poorly accelerates and slow down on the ice, which is, according to Testworld, difficulties may arise with a race and descent from the hills. It aggravates the situation of extremely weak lateral stability, from which it can be concluded that ride on Pirelli on iced roads may not be easy. In the snow, everything is much better, and the controllability is quite good, although there is a danger of a sharp loss of clutch on the rear axle.

On the Asphalt Pirelli Icezero FR slowly react to the turns of the steering wheel, and during a maneuver on a dry coating rear wheels Can go to the skid. Supplements the negative picture The result of Teknikens Varls tests, which marked the poor resistance of tires with aquaplaning.

Bridgestone Blizzak WS80.- Winter nothesive tires, test

Official information

Tires Bridgestone.BLIZZAK WS80 is produced by new technologies, Using improved rubber mixture, have a modern tread pattern. Made using electronic control Quality of finished products. Provide the optimal behavior of the car on the road.

TEST RESULTS

Despite the very good clutch on ice and confident behavior on the snow, Teknikens Varld and Testworld set Bridgestone.Blizzak WS80 at very low positions. This is due to poor tirelessness and difficulties in driving on dry and wet asphalt. Blizzak is weakly resistant to aquaplaning, and in general, raw conditions can deliver a lot of inconvenience to the car owner. By totality of indicators, Bridgestone Blizzak WS80 cannot be compared with other premium tires.

Yokohama Iceguard IG50 Plus - Winter nothesive tires, test

Official information

The inner part of the tread Yokohama Iceguard IG50 Plus It has an enlarged contact spot and more lamellae, due to which the clutch indicators and the edge effect on the ice surface are improved. The outer part of the tread has a greater number of grooves, due to which excellent rates of the edge effect and adhesion with a snow-covered surface are achieved. Three-dimensional lamellas in the central part of the tire allow you to increase the contact stain, thereby contributing to stable control on any winter surface.

TEST RESULTS

As testing Testworld and Teknikes Varld, Japanese Winter Rubber Yokohama Iceguard IG50 Plus Poor suitable for Russian conditions. Perhaps the main problem of Yokohama was a weak clutch on the ice. In general, the tires are predictable, but due to the lack of adhesion ride them problematic. Weak side stability worsens handling and does not allow the clutch after leaving both ice and snow. The longitudinal grip is somewhat higher, which allows you to more confidently accelerate and slow down, but only in a direct trajectory.

Under conditions of raw weather and wet asphalt Yokohama Iceguard IG50 Plus Easily lose the grip on the rear axle with a rapid rotation of the steering wheel. On the dry surface, the tire characteristics are somewhat better, and although the rubber has enough "ball" temperament, the wheels still behave logically and do not prevent unpleasant surprises. In addition, the Yokohama has a fairly short brake path on a dry surface.

conclusions

An unambiguous output about which tires are better, and what worse there is simply no. Each type and model of tires is better suited for some conditions, and worse for others. Eminent Nokian.Hakkapeliitta. 8 , as well as Continental Icecontact 2. Displays outstanding qualities on snowy and ice roads, taking first places in many tests. However, when it comes to dry and raw materials, soft tires with lots metal spikes Pasiva even before much cheaper competitors. And this is not wonderful, because these tires are intended for the northern climatic zones with their frosty snowy winter and ice trails.

Meanwhile, most of the domestic fleet holds the winter in more "civilized conditions" of cleaned city roads and winter thaws, and friction tires come to the revenue Continental WinterContact. or Goodyear UltraGrip 9.Of course, they are inferior to "riding" on the passability in the snow and "chain" on the ice, but much better keep dry or wet asphalt.

Well, in the southern regions with their incomolete or even positive temperature, too harsh winter tires can generally be dangerous, given its "valve" at high temperatures and poor behavior in the rain.

How to improve the headlights in 5 minutes?

When driving dark winter roads, I really want the headlights to be brighter and covered as much space as possible. But, unfortunately, the year of the year, the glow of headlights becomes all the dim. We tell how quickly and budget it is to fix it.

The original test of the winter tire magazine driving from September 2018 moved here.

In for small and compact suitable dimensions of 185/65 R 15, the car was tested by ADAC 15 Winter tires with speed index T. In addition to wide midfields, cut two tire brands especially well. Nevertheless, the study of the parts is worth.

Note: Why some premium brands were not tested
Products of trademarks Continental, Michelin, Sempert, Fulda and Sava could not take part in the test, since the manufacturer's affected manufacturer did not declare the current season of 2016 new products that were at the time of purchase at the beginning of the test still in free sale. There was no regular passage of the test, therefore, possibly.

15 models in ADAC Winter Tire Test, two tires are awarded ADAC judgment "Good"
This year (2016) ADAC tested 15 Winter models for smallness of an interesting dimension of 185/65 R 15 T. As a test car, Renault Clio served. Overview of car models that can be equipped with this measurement, you are entitled "For these M & S models, it is suitable to find the size of 185/65 R 15 T".
Two tests of candidates ADAC rating with an assessment: "Good", 11 ADAC products considers "satisfactory", two winter tires conclude with the verdict "unsatisfactory."
This sentence ADAC "Good" received Goodyear UltraGrip 9 and Michelin Alpin A4. Both tire models are distinguished by special balance and avoid flaws. GOODYEAR has the best overall rating that now, in addition to all other qualities, is very economical with fuel. A little behind him in the Michelin rating, draws attention, especially with minimal wear.

Wide midfields are divided into three groups
Wide midfields, which ADAC gives a satisfactory verdict, are divided into three groups.
On Nokian WR D4 forms with the Pirelli Cinturato Winter The first group, in light weaknesses on the wet road (Nokian) or on dry asphalt (Pirelli) ADAC solution "Stop well" is not enough.
In the second group of the middle part, consisting of six tire models, the general does not allow weaknesses in several criteria for judgment, although they are balanced relatively. On Vredestein Snowtrac 5 shows minor flaws on the wet road, in the snow and ice. ESA-Tecar Super Grip 9 makes something harder on a wet road and ice. In Hankook I * CEPT RS2 W452 does not create in addition to the snow, a single evaluation "Good". Bridgestone Blizzak LM001 cannot compensate for its flaws on the wet road and ice due to strengthening. With Dunlop Winter Response 2, its characteristics come on dry asphalt and on the ice on the way to the best overall assessment on the way. Nexen Winguard Snow "G WH2 has obvious drawbacks on a wet road, less noticeable weaknesses in the snow and ice.
The third group consists of a test of three candidates whose weaknesses will change so much that the ADAC sentence is "justified satisfactorily." When uniroyal MS Plus 77 is, along with flaws on a wet road and ice with priority characteristics on dry asphalt, with Barum Polaris 3 are its weaknesses on a wet road and ice, with Viking Snow Tech II weak characteristics Dominant on a wet road.

The verdict "unsatisfactory" due to the obvious weakness on the wet road
Two with ADAC verdict "unsatisfactory" occupied Tire models FireStone Winterhawk 3 and Kleber Krisalp HP2 Get your feedback due to pronounced weakness on a wet road.

What struck back
Runs of various tire models are relatively minor disagreements. The only michelin shines with high wear resistance to reveal in other disciplines without flaws.

Why some premium brands were not tested
Production of trademarks Continental, Fulda and Sava could not take part in comparative testSince the touched Manufacturer did not declare the current season of 2016 new products that were at the time of the purchase test for the beginning of a free sale. There was no regular passage of the test, therefore, possibly.

Features in the formation of a summary assessment
ADAC judging "satisfactory", "sufficient" and "insufficient" is not calculated by a final assessment on suspended individual notes. The worst one touch in one of the significant criteria breaks through and is used as a common rating. With the same overall rating sorted in alphabetical order by the name of the supplier.

Our advice
Who pays special attention
At all frequencies, winter tires, you should select Goodyear UltraGrip 9 or Michelin Alpin A4.Good characteristics in the snow, you should choose either Goodyear UltraGrip 9 or Bridgestone Blizzak LM001.Good characteristics on a dry road, you must choose Michelin Alpin A4. Consignment of fuel, first , GOODYEAR ULTRAGRIP 9 should be selected. Large mileage or low wear, you should select Michelin Alpin A4.

Price Information
The prices of each tire model were as of 1.9.2016 Federations from trading and Vulkaniseur-craft E. V. (BRV) Tires are directed at 25 Representative tire sample dealers. When choosing enterprises of all regions of the country, as well as rural and urban regions were taken into account. Enterprises are partly independently, partly for trading networks or cooperation belonging. For all indicators, the average price for all Germany is formed. Deviations from the specified average price not only regional, but in time is possible. The price data serve predominantly orientation on the study from local suppliers. When searching for you a favorable offer, there is also a number of online services for various regional dealers related to tires, prices and other services of services will be interviewed.

For these models of cars M & S suitable size 185/65 R15 T
Subsequent models of cars (and many other) sind - depending on the engine and configuration - here the tested tires of size 185/65 R 15 is equipped. When using winter tires (M + S bus) there should be its speed (index t here the maximum speed of 190 km / h) with a high-speed index of the corresponding summer tire, if a sticker is appropriate in the driver's field of view, which resembles this lower maximum speed. Alternately can also be limited to the maximum vehicle speed often through the limiter, respectively. Learn more about Tire Marking I believe you are here.

Is the desired tire size is not going?
With restrictions, test results can be on the "adjacent" transmission dimensions. This concerns deviation from +10 / -10 millimeters in the bus width, therefore 175/65 R 15 T (measurement with a very low value) or 195/65 R 15 T. Test results of other sizes of past years can be found on our tire test review pages.

When evaluating the ADAC results, tire tests special attention is paid to tire balance. This is done in order to only get good tire ADAC judgments that meet all criteria certain, fairly difficult minimum requirements. Those car owners to use tires with outstanding individual features little if these tires are shown simultaneously in other criteria of significant flaws. For this reason, to achieve a specific ADAC sentence, minimal estimates must be achieved in Überkriterien.
The following table shows a rating of restrictions on various criteria:

	0,5-1,5	1,6-2,5	2,6-3,5	3,6-4,5	4,6-5,5
NASS.	0,5-1,5	1,6-2,5	2,6-3,5	3,6-4,5	4,6-5,5
	0,5-1,5	1,6-2,5	2,6-3,5	3,6-4,5	4,6-5,5

Kraftstoff- Verbrauch	0,5-1,5	1,6-2,5	2,6-3,5	3,6-4,5	4,6-5,5
	0,5-1,5	1,6-2,5	2,6-3,5	3,6-4,5	4,6-5,5

A tire, which seeks the sentence Adac "Good", should be so in all relevant criteria, at least in the field of touch the column "Good" (2.5 or better). The criterion in the lower note of the border (2.6 or worse) will not be achieved, may at best only rating "are satisfactory".
The same applies, of course, for ADAC judgment "satisfactory" and "enough". The verdict "satisfactorily" cannot be achieved only when estimates in the criteria "dry", "wet", "snow", "ice", "fuel consumption" and "wear" is no worse than 3.5. For the sentence an ADAC "sufficient" should be estimated in the named criteria of at least 4.5 or more.
Since we proceed for future tire tests increase the power potential of tires, was not awarded to evaluate "very good" so far. Thus, it is possible to stay until further notification of the evaluation standards for summer and winter tires tests.

Determining the final assessment
Please note: The overall rating is calculated only for tires with an ADAC sentence "good" weighted value of individual notes.
Tires with ADAC judgment, it's worse than "good", find out the depreciation in a common rating.
When evaluating the results of ADAC, the tire tests stopped on the tire balance. This is done in order to only get good adac tires, which meet all criteria certain, rather complex minimal requirements. Those car owners to use tires with outstanding individual features little if these tires are shown simultaneously in other criteria of significant flaws.
Consequently, the final assessment of ADAC and rewriting the judgment will be on all tires that are worse than the sentence of ADAC "Good", which set the overall rating at once with the worst notew, which led to devaluation. This ensures that tires with not a sentence of ADAC "satisfactory", "enough" or "not enough" or better to get high marks than tires with a more ADAC sentence.
The overall rating of ADAC judgment follows, follows from the worst rating in one of the main criteria "dry", "wet", "snow", "ice" "fuel consumption" and "wear", if this note led to this chief criterion for devaluation . See also the ranking of the table borders in the previous paragraph. For example, a bus tires in three of the six listed main criteria rating 2.0 and only in one main criterion rating 2.6, so it can not be better than a common score of 2.6. In other words, the criterion in which the rating that led to the devaluation was awarded, the weight of 100% is assigned. All other wreck criteria get 0%.
The tire will be devalued by the model in several main criteria, gives a common assessment and, therefore, the sentence of ADAC from the worst assessments that led to devaluation. For example, the tire model can be in two of the six listed main criteria rating 2.0, the main criterion in estimating 2.6, and in another rating of 2.7, so the final assessment cannot be better than 2.7.
This type of determination of the final assessment must be prevented that the tire model that has one or more obvious disadvantages, these weaknesses can be compensated by a pronounced advantage in other main criteria.
Please note: this noise criterion is not taken into account with this kind of determining the final assessment.

Select Product
About choosing products Test consortium decides. That tire manufacturers do not affect it.
Experimental sizes of tires are discussed jointly and install. At the same time, such criteria as the market of game starch or the relevance of previous tests is an important role. The decision is based on the solution of the majority of the test of all partners.
Also selection of the tire model depends on the conditions on the market. Purpose, the entire price range from the premium grade to the lowest price segment is displayed.
When choosing a product, only the tire models are recorded on the EU Label bus where the "wet" class "C" class or is better to wear. It should be avoided that the tires do not participate in the test, which correspond to the form of the minimum requirement in this important criterion.

Purchase Test Products
Through the trading process guarantees that tires tested correspond to the serial assembly. This is a total of 28 tires depending on the model in local stores are purchased in smaller quantities to 5 different sellers,. When using multiple tire sets for the same test, the criterion (for example, wet brakes) purchased from various merchants and partially at different times to check whether the quality of the series is true. Only the slightest doubt exist additional tires Closed and additional tests are bought. In the third trading step, the sample addition can be purchased shortly before the publication and in decisive substantive criteria managed to test. Tier tires were made separately, it will also be seen here, and they will be accepted no later than the test.
It will be tested mainly only the models of tires that are suitable at the time of purchase, it is also available everywhere.

Preparation of dough products
In the beginning of the tires passed input control. In this case, the exact model specifications, point and / or production rooms, as well as the EU - Label collects tire data. Different models Tires will randomly product the way to compare the numbers that you are defined to the end of the experiment. In order for trademarks and the names of models for further estimates will be departed into the background.
The test passes the bus run to the actual stretching test from each about 450 km to ensure the final characteristics of the product.

Used test landfill
On own and foreign testing grounds, in principle, the rule is valid that all events relating to the ADAC tires test, and test drives will be carried out exclusively by ADAC employees. They are carried out completely independently of the remaining test mode in the relevant territory. During exams and testing drugs on the localities of tire manufacturers, test products will guard constantly. At all other times of product testing under the lock.
The properties of the tires on the dry surface are currently being carried out at the BRIDGESTONE polygon in Italy. The properties of the tire on wet surfaces, as well as fuel consumption and low noise level (both, naturally, on a dry surface) are currently being carried out at the Continental polygon in Germany. The nature of the tire wear is predominantly through a street convoy from several identical cars in the vicinity of the city of Landsberg-on-Lech. For the so-called cross-comparisons, additional wear tests are BRIDGESTONE. Quick run will be carried out in the material Darmstadt test laboratory. Snow Tests ADAC Tests of Winter Tires are carried out on the manufacture of independent, free territories for public transport blocked road passport in the Swiss Alps. With weather in exceptional cases, ADAC rely on the manufacture of weather conditions in safe regions. Which Eisprüfungen is held on one eisteststrecke of the Continental manufacturer from ADAC drivers.

Measured value: in minutes, seven laser measurements of the tire profile section, the high range of the remaining run before reaching the legal minimum tread depth 1.6 mm.
Features All-season tires: To use all-season tires to meet, tires were conducted, for example, tests on dry asphalt in June / July compared to the summer. Help tests were held for one half in the period from March to May, and on the other half in June.

Ranking and evaluation
Based on the measured values \u200b\u200bof the results of individual bus tire models, set the ratio of results on all tests of the participants in the reference model, the properties of which are well known. Through the reference tires of the test changes can be detected and compensates if necessary. Services Test tires, tires in relation to reference in percentage ratio Showing, and the performance of the reference tire corresponds to 100%. Consequently, the corresponding results may be related to a musical scale.
Subjective reviews to be formulated directly in the notes.
Scale notes range from 0.5 (very good) to 5.5 (unsatisfactory). From a weighted assessment of individual assessment criteria, the main criteria are the result. From the main criteria of the suspended border, the footnote is obtained taking into account the rating.

Quality assurance
The test consortium decides on products and techniques. This consortium consists of European automotive clubs and consumer protection organizations. Tire manufacturer are not in this consortium. Experimental tire sizes are discussed in the consortium and install. At the same time, such criteria as the starch market or play the relevance of the previous test is an important role. The decision coincides with the solution of most of all the partner's test. Test methods are based on the Perennial specialized know-how ADAC for security. To change in the methodology there are long-term planning, which is also presented at each meeting and discussed. Also all those present here Test partners decide together. Through the purchase process in different places and quality management guarantees that the tires tested correspond to the serial assembly. This is a total of 28 tires, depending on the model are purchased in local stores.
For Test Test there is a specialist advice in which, in addition to specialists from universities, research institutions and other organizations, the manufacturer is also present. Here is also a test design and presented criteria. The goal, to modern technologies (product development) and the current exchange scientific achievements.
To ensure quality, both subjectively and objectively reviews are repeatedly and independently from each other with different test - Pilot. The driver's test vote regularly undergo various trainings with each other and with other specialists. All evaluation criteria and test methods are provided by discussing with another partner test (ICRT, OAMTC, TCS). In addition, the measuring is discussed methodology annual specialized advisory advice with the participation of representatives of the tire industry. Before the publication, each part of the tire test taking by the manufacturer by the results of its products with respect to the tire pressure indicator used and called the tire indicator informs.
