@@zakuraayame5091 They have a different chemical structure (compund) to be able to perform at - 20°C or lower instead of standard winter tyres designed for milder climates. "The extreme winter tyres" are much softer and have more sipes to be usable even on ice. Studs are illegal in most of Europe and USA. Only Scandinavia and Canada allow them for the most part because their roads are covered with snow pretty much the whole winter. Driving studded tyres in dry or wet damages the pavement (tarmac and cement).

As always the amount of work put into this review is phenomenal! We cannot thank you enough for it. Thanks and never stop doing these.

A brilliant video, I bought Bridgestone LM005 two years ago, for my honda crv. I did it after watching your winter tires test review. It made our care a Luxuries one, as it drives so nicely on them. We just love them.

You're so right about the LM005! I have never experienced a better tire in the wet. It's like magic. I would recommend the LM005 to everyone 👍🏼👍🏼

I have the Blizzaks on my winter wheels for my WRX and love them. I'm in Kentucky, which sees a lot more wet/slushy winter weather than snow (usually) and these are great for that.

Thank you for your review! Last october I bought GoodYear Ultragrip ice 2 by your recommendations and spent a whole year with it. Even spring and summer due to certain reasons I was on winter tires. They performed very well during heavy snow in the mountains, when I thought car couldn't hook up it kept on climbing. On the other hand I even pushed my little 1.4 Golf 210km/h early october (temperature 15), but had to brake way earlier.

Another great review from this outfit. They are now offering consistently the best and most comprehensive reviews of tires anywhere.

Glad you like them!

After your review last year, I bought the Blizzak LM005, and boy, did it perform. I used to hate winter, because winter tyres are just numb, boring, and they don't have great grip in any condition. Well, this tyre completely changed my view on that. Even with "average" snow handling in this pack, it has so much grip, the one time I had the chance to drive it on snow, I was overtaking cars left and right, because everyone was scared of the fresh snow, but this tyre just didn't care at all. And it feels even better in dry and wet. Highly recommended

Once again, great video! Thanks to your advice a bought Hankook RS3 for my BMW. Tyre that can manage snow but is excellent in dry and wet (living in Croatia we do have snow during the winter but more likely it is going to be wet all winter). So much effort in this video! Keep going

I've been waiting for this one as I need new winter shoes, thanks so much!

Thanks to your review, I chose Bridgestone. Maybe not the fastest on snow, but the feedback is amazing, I always knew how much traction I had, it was a pleasure to drive.

I got the Hankook Winter RS2 15" from last year, excellent for French climate near Alp mountains! Remarquable on the dry and wet, and for the few times in the snow it felt very pleasant. I'd go without any doubt for the RS3 :)

Great review, as usual. Looking forward to the Nokian review. We live at 1500M altitude in the French alps. Have Nokian tyres as our winter tyre on Our mighty snow vehicle, Panda Cross! Had them for 4 seasons so still some life in them.

Searching for winter tires for the first time, your video is reeeeeally helpful! Very appreciated

We've had the TS870s on my mum's A3 for a year now. I drove it last night on a wet dual carriageway with a lot of standing water, it handled large puddles at speed like a champ, similar to what I'd expect from a rain tyre (like the Michelin HydroEdge), while other cars were almost losing control going through some of them. Unfortunately haven't yet had the chance to try it out in the snow, but I have no doubts about its abilities from these tests!

As mentioned several times on your videos I really like the Vredestein Wintrac Pro. In the "typical" German winter of almost no snow, lots of rainy or cold dry days it gives great feedback on my GT86. Snow performance is also better than it was on Conti TS830P.

I’ve got them, too. But for the very mild winder at 350m above sea, in Slovakia. During the first season their sidewalls turned into brown colour - I have found it was blooming - some kind of chemical process that should protect the tire from ageing caused by UV radiation from the sun. After the second season I have found plenty of micro cracks on the edge between sidewall and thread. I have contacted Bridgestone service to explain this as my previous Conti TS850 didn’t turn into brown nor get full of cracks. Answer from Bridgestone Czech Rep&Slovakia was: You don’t drive your car enough or you wash it too frequently… I think 12k km during two #covid winter seasons is reasonable for family car. For me after plenty of RE050A Potenzas, ER300 Turanzas etc this was my last Bridgestone tyre. At the end of the day this is the same like with car or IT stuff…you have to select based on the quality of service/support.

As for the Continental TS870 being not near the top in snow handling... I'm not completely surprised. I'm currently using the TS860's on my car and I do really like them, but I do notice they're not the best in full snow conditions. Previously I had a lesser know set of Falken Eurowinter tyres which was recommended to me by a guy that knows a lot about tyre testing and rally driving. And he was right; in the snow the Falken's were amazing, very confidence inspiring to drive, no sudden snap understeer or oversteer. Compared to the Continental's I now have, they did really feel a lot more like winter tyres, above 15 degrees Celsius the Falken's felt like driving on chewinggum. The Conti TS860 is more of an allrounder, in the dry/wet at temperatures between 5 and 20 degrees Celsius it feels much more like a summer tyre, just a bit less grippy then that at higher temperatures. In the snow they are decent to good, but not amazing. So I guess the TS870's are more of an evolution on that and for many people that is fine (or even the better way). However, at some point I wonder if making a winter tyre with those characteristics is worth it over a good all-season tyre. For my car, in which we go on holidays and thus also in winter to snowy locations, I prefer using dedicated summer + winter tyres. For my girlfriends car all-seasons are a much better option.

(during the movie it startet raining depsite being freezing temperatures -> ice rain) Was astonished at the grip level the tyres provided. Even managed to easily get up the little hill out of the parking lot with less problems than supposedly more suited cars. (It's a +500hp rear wheel drive car).

Just picked up a set of used Hankook Tires for my 2001 Dodge Neon studded snow.

Thank you for the way you go through these tires, including your subjective assessments. *I too tend to much prefer tires with very good longitudinal grip.* I dislike fitting tires that _look_ good on stopping distances, but drop your traction in a panic dodge or spirited driving, especially on wet windy roads. Sounds like any of your top 4 are a good choice, but I'd probably prefer the other 3 over the continental for how I drive. My tire theory: *great longitudinal grip for overall balance and ability to dodge (plus added fun for spirited cornering) *great wet traction, so you are never surprised mid-corner by your grip dropping in half due to a wet patch *The widest tire you can fit on your regular rim, for max longevity (with appropriate outer diameter).

The Blizzak IMO is the best of the best because how it handles ice. Just bought our 3rd set, run year round. Have Falken Wildpeak AT3 for the F350, use it for Search & Rescue & incident response. Add chains when needed, snowplow our hilltop community.

Nobody else but you, does such precise testing with all the info - from weight, tread depth, and all other usual data. It is also unique that one can actually choose which tire features are important individually and see the winner - but your score weighing is already spot on IMHO. I bought LM005 last winter and really loved them. Had very Iittle thick snow scenarios, but loads of cold rain and "wet melting" layers of snow on the road. They really are perfect and grippy in the wet. So much so, when I switched to Potenza Sport in spring, they seemed like they had no grip in comparison, although they are always marked as exceptional in the wet as summer tires. Anyway, great job & and I am looking foward to your future tests.

I've been tested several cars on Blizzaks for years and my opinion was maybe there are good on wet but disaster on snow (good for UK, but not for Alps nor Carpatians). I can see that LM005 is completely different that is good. Now I would recommend this tire in my country. I am also happy that Hankook is better and better with its tires. This is also good bet imo. Cheers from Poland.

I had really bad experience with Bridgestone winter tires. Starting from the 3rd winter, those tires on wet road were like driving on soap. Very slippery and dangerous in my experience.

​@@codincoman9019 ​ In my comment I wrote "I had" plus "starting from the 3rd winter" (note the past tense too), not "Bridgestone winter tires are crap, period". You asked for details, then there you go: Bridgestone Blizzak LM2 (remember the past tense above?) on an Opel Corsa C (aka Vauxhall in UK) with tire size 175/65R14 starting from 2006 if I remember correctly (so the famous "3rd winter" means 2009). As said, starting from the 3rd winter (writing it again for ease of reading), on wet road it was like driving on the soap when taking any turn (e.g. on a roundabout), no matter on the speed (well, except taking those turn at very very low speed). And no, I was using winter tires starting from the 2nd half of November till beginning of March, that is not during summer and not driving, of course, with slick winter tires I'm happy you had and you have a nice experience with these tires. On my side, not gonna buy them anymore. Never ever. Hope that now I'm SMART for you

@@Zduneqq I replied right below. TL;DR: using winter tires just during winter (2nd half of November till beginning of March) and the tread was definitely not low.

I have used the performance version of the predecessor to the Continental Wintercontact ts 870, the ts 850P. The car I used was a Golf GTI mk7.5 and it worked extremely well! Living on the west coast of Sweden the weather during winter time is mostly rain with some snow and temperatures ranging from around -5 to +5 degrees celsius. Extremely good grip with a lot of control and predictability. Could actually push the tires a lot going out of corners, with good grip in the corners and really good braking performance! Really good tire!

Awesome video as always! Top job Jonathan :)

I fitted Petlas ones. I never got to test them on snow, because they were so bad on wet, I mean scary bad, catastrophically bad, that I replaced them almost immediately with Continentals, which are so good!

Fantastic review once again! I believe you mentioned it, but any chance we can see a video later this year merging your findings on this winter typed with the all-season alternatives? I think it would be very useful for us folks UK based and other milder climates/short winter that are often struggling to find the best sporty/low profile option to fit on their performance cars. Cheers!

Thank you for the very useful information and insights. I wish you could test some of the tires from the U.S. Here in the states we do have the particular Hankook from this test and I would appreciate any comment you might be able to add regarding its steering ( linearity, any numbness on center etc.. ).

Thank you

Looking forward for the video comparing these and the all seasons. I swap tires in winter so I wonder what is best just for the winter months in the UK. Was this test and the all season test done back to back? Braking results are interesting if so.

Thank you for the good work and the effort! I am assuming though that the tires tested here are all brand new. Since manufacturers have their own tricks for yielding positive results in tests (e.g. small abrasions that fade away in a few hundred miles) it would be really interesting how these tires perform after let's say... 2000 miles. Having a delta between the tire performance between brand new and used, would be beneficial.

I recently bought the new Hankook RS3 for this winter, seems like I did a good choice considering the relatively low price

@@codincoman9019 well, it depends on what kind of winter you have. If you have a winter with dry and wet conditions only, the all seasons might be a better choice.

just got a set (5) of the blizzak lm001 for a new Subaru forester wilderness. I'm from southeast Virginia so the wet handling will go a long way for my typical winter weather

Another great test !
