Auto Express: Winter Tire Test R17 2020
For the ultimate in driving safety, you need tyres to suit the season. Auto Express test reveals the best for the British winter.
For the ultimate safety in extreme conditions, you need to change tyres for the seasons, and now is the time to consider fitting a winter option. While all-season tyres are gaining in popularity, a dedicated winter design is the no-compromise choice.
Auto Express tested the world’s biggest-selling size – 205/55R16 – and asked tyre makers to nominate a pattern, which we bought in the wholesale market. Nokian and Hankook supplied tyres that we compared to samples we later bought to check they were the same. Continental sent its latest TS 870, but won’t repeat its win from our last test of this size, because the new tyre’s launch has been postponed to next year due to the pandemic.
