While ADAC don't provide data for their results, just an overall score, they are one of the few publications who properly test wear.
Unlike last year where Continental dominated the ADAC winter tire test, this year Dunlop take the test win with a strong snow performance, low fuel consumption and excellent wet grip.
Pirelli jump up from fourteenth place last year to a joint second this year with a well balanced performance, and the Michelin sub brand Kleber outperforms its parent brand, joining Pirelli in second place overall.
