Jul 31, 2025Tire Test 2025
ADAC: All-Season Tire Test R17
Ranked #10th of 16. Barum Quartaris 5Verdict:The Barum Quartaris 5 excels in snow braking (9.0 m, 1st) and shows solid snow traction (244 N, 8th), making it reliable in light winter use. However, its dry braking is the weakest in the test (45.3 m, 16th), and wet braking (35.6 m, 11th) is similarly below average. Aquaplaning resistance is acceptable in curves (2.6 m/s²), but straight-line stability is limited (73.3 km/h, 10th). Wear (45,700 km) is fair, though abrasion is high (77 mg/km/t), and noise levels are among the highest (74.5 dB, 16th). A basic option for budget-focused users in snow-prone regions, but with trade-offs in dry and wet safety.
