2017 50 Winter Tire Shoot Out

Fifty winter tires have been put through wet braking tests, with the top thirty also tested for snow braking performance. Only the top twenty have gone through to the full Auto Bild winter tire test!

With the best winter tire on test stopping the BMW 3 Series in 32.2 meters, and the worst tire on test over 50 meters, you can see why it's extremely important to judge a winter tires performance as much on wet grip as it is snow grip.

Make sure to check out the full Auto Bild winter tire test to see how the top twenty tires performed in the full range of wet, dry and snow tests.
