Probably the most important result: all-season tires are an economically viable alternative for drivers who do not drive more than average and rarely drive in winter conditions.

Probably the most important result: all-season tires are an economically viable alternative for drivers who do not drive more than average and rarely travel in winter conditions.
Tests in all weather conditions
The driving behavior of the 175/65 R14 82 T tires was determined in road tests. Thus, on the one hand, the test tires were tested on snow and ice and at cool temperatures on wet road surfaces and compared with winter tires. On the other hand, they were also tested at warm temperatures on dry roads and compared with summer tires. In addition, the tires also had to prove themselves and be compared in terms of noise development, consumption and wear.
Rating recommended for four products
In this extensive as well as demanding test procedure with a total of 18 different criteria, four of the nine tires tested were rated "recommendable". Five products are rated "conditionally recommendable". The results in detail and more detailed assessments of all tested tire models can be found in detail on the Internet.
