The ANWB Koost for the tire size 225/40 R 18, because they can often be found under cars in the middle segment and the higher class. During the test, budget tires were partly used, which are often cheaper and easier to get online. Of the thirty -one -tested tires, eleven scored poorly. And that is worrying according to the ANWB. By the way, you also have to avoid these cheap all -season tires.
Best in the test
The tire test took place in Italy, Germany and Finland, on dry asphalt, in the rain and on snow. Winter tires should score well on driving behavior and safety, but the ANWB also looked at sustainability and wear. Of the fourteen budget tires tested, two were more than sufficient

Winter tires must mainly score well on elements of driving and safety behavior. In addition, the ANWB looked at environmental criteria, such as wear and sustainability. Fourteen budget tires were tested, two of which scored more than enough. Three premium brands also scored well.
The best in the test is the Goodyear UltraGrip Performance 3. A whole mouth full, but this band performs well when braking on wet roads and has a predicted lifespan of over 76,500 km. Shortly thereafter the Michelin Pilot Alpin 5, Who is doing very well on dry road surface and has the shortest braking distance of all tires from the test. The cheapest premium band, from the brand Hanklasts a long time (72,400 km) and is the quietest and most economical.
(Very) bad winter tires
Eleven tires were rated as very poorly by the ANWB. They have insufficient grip, which can quickly create under or upset, and sometimes a very long braking distance. With an emergency stop on wet road surface, large differences arise: a car on good tires stands still from 80 km/h after about 31 meters, while a car on bad tires only stands still after 47 meters.
It is wise for buyers who regularly ride wet or winter roads to pay extra attention to the braking distance and behavior on wet road surfaces, because these are important safety aspects. This way you can check whether your winter tires are still good.
