The Pirelli Cinturato Winter 3 dominated the 2025 TUV test, achieving first-place finishes in all critical winter and wet handling disciplines. Its performance in snow braking, traction, and handling was class-leading, complemented by top-tier aquaplaning resistance and wet handling lap times. While its dry and wet braking distances were marginally behind the best, and rolling resistance was a weaker point, it establishes a high benchmark for winter tire performance.

The Continental WinterContact TS 870 secured a strong second-place finish, demonstrating impressive and well-rounded winter capabilities. Its snow performance was a key strength, landing close to the top in braking, traction, and handling. However, it exhibited middling results in wet and dry braking, with its straight aquaplaning resistance being a notable disadvantage.

The Goodyear UltraGrip Performance 3 presents a paradox of exceptional wet and dry braking prowess against a backdrop of mediocre winter traction. It recorded the shortest stopping distances in both dry and wet conditions, with strong wet handling and aquaplaning results. However, its performance in snow braking, traction, and handling was fourth-placed, and it had the highest rolling resistance in the test.

The Bridgestone Blizzak 6 delivered a mixed performance, achieving the best-in-test rolling resistance and highly competitive dry and wet braking. However, it finished last in all snow disciplines and demonstrated significant weaknesses in wet handling and straight aquaplaning resistance, resulting in its overall fourth-place ranking.

The Michelin Alpin 7 presents a stark trade-off, coupling strong snow performance and excellent rolling resistance with notably poor wet and dry braking. It secured second-place results in snow braking and handling, but finished last in wet and dry braking distances, as well as wet handling.
