Aftonbladet: Winter Tire Test R16 2024
Aftonbladet, a leading Swedish automotive publication, recently conducted its annual winter tire test, an extensive comparison featuring 19 models of 205/55R16 tires, both studded and non-studded. Adding a unique dimension to this year's test, the lineup also included two worn tires—a European winter tire and an all-season tire—providing valuable insights into tire performance over time.
The test was conducted at the Test World proving ground in Ivalo, Finland, under controlled conditions to ensure fairness and accuracy. The evaluation included a series of rigorous tests: ice and snow braking, acceleration on ice and snow, dry and wet asphalt braking, and handling on ice and snow. Additionally, rolling resistance was measured to assess fuel efficiency implications.
