The Results
1st: Continental WinterContact TS 850 | |
| A good all round performance with few compromises make this a winter tire winner Read Reviews |
2nd: Nokian WR D3 | |
| Top performer on snow and in dry conditions in the cold, but not the cheapest to run Read Reviews |
3rd: Goodyear UltraGrip 9 | |
| An excellent debut in our test, with good performance on snow and wet roads Read Reviews Buy from £89.45 |
4th: Uniroyal MS+ 77 | |
| A promising return for Uniroyal, although the poor fuel economy is something of a surprise Read Reviews |
5th: Michelin Alpin A4 | |
| Its days on sale are number (the Michelin Alpin 5 has replaced it), but this winter tire is still well worth considering Read Reviews |
6th: Dunlop SP WinterSport 4D | |
| Secure and safe, although rivals have the edge over this tire in most tests Read Reviews Buy from £109.48 |
7th: Pirelli Winter Snow Control Series 3 | |
| Competent, but aquaplaning performance needs looking at, as does fuel efficiency Read Reviews |
8th: Hankook Winter i cept RS | |
| A keenly priced tire, but you will pay for that at the pumps over time Read Reviews |
9th: Vredestein Quatrac Lite | |
| Seven per cent off the best winter tire in the snow, better than the best winter tire in the dry, and again 7% behind the best winter in the cold wet test, but 10% ahead of the summer tire Read Reviews |
10th: Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance | |
| An unsurprisingly fail in all snow tests, the summer tire needed an extra 5 metres to stop under wet braking. Slight edge on the winters in the cold dry tests Read Reviews Buy from £71.19 |
