ADAC All-season Tire Test 205/55 R16 2024
ADAC tested 16 all-season tire models in the very popular 205/55 R16 size. Unfortunately, the testing began before the new Continental AllSeasonContact 2, which won this year's Tyre Reviews test, was available to the public, as well as before the release of the significantly improved Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 and Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6. The tires were evaluated in a variety of conditions, including summer, winter and wet scenarios. The overall rating included 70% for driving safety and 30% for environmental impact.
