In addition to the 185/65 R15 winter tire test, the «General German Automobile Club» ADAC also conducted a test of 215/60 R16 tires designed for compact crossovers, such as Audi Q3, VW T-Roc, and Skoda Karoq, and this time around gold was won by two competitors — the Continental WinterContact TS 870 and Dunlop Wintersport 5, the TS 870 having already celebrated a victory in the test of tires with a 15-inch fitting diameter.
Besides Continental and Dunlop, the «Good» rating in the 16-inch tire test was also secured by the Goodyear Ultragrip Performance+ and Michelin Alpin 6, and the ADAC experts noted that the first two tires were really good on wet pavement, snow, and ice, but were slightly inferior to their rivals on wet pavement, while the Goodyear tire performed at its absolute best on a snow-covered track, and the Michelin not just scored the traditional high points for exceptional resistance to wear, but also performed very well on dry pavement and ice.

12 tires finished with a «Satisfactory» rating — this group consisted of tires that demonstrated a relatively poor performance in one or several parts of the test. Thus, the Yokohama BluEarth*Winter V906 demonstrated a less-than-perfect wet and snow performance, the Bridgestone Blizzak LM005 could have a better snow grip, and the Kleber Krisalp HP3 had certain difficulties on wet and dry pavement. Also, the GT Radial Winterpro 2 was inferior to the leaders on tarmac and on snow, the Sava Eskimo HP2 on wet pavement, and Vredestein Wintrac on dry pavement (although, just as in the case of the Esa+Tecar Supergrip Pro, the testers found some deficit of wet traction as well). In addition, the Toyo Observe S944 indulged in certain weaknesses on wet pavement and snow, the Nokian WR Snowproof, Uniroyal WinterExpert and Matador MP93 Nordica on dry and wet pavement, and Falken Eurowinter on dry pavement only.
The last line was occupied by the Cooper WM-SA2+ tire, which was the only one to receive an «Average» ranking because of very poor dry performance and high wear. According to the experts, the Cooper tire cannot ensure stable grip on the rear wheels, cannot effectively tackle emergency situations, and, in addition, its expected mileage turned out to be 19,000 km shorter than Sava’s.
