In its 2024 test, Teknikens Värld compared 5 Central European winter tyres in size 225/50 R17 (test car: Volvo V60). Measured parameters from this test used by TyreRanker: 3.

In the tester's ranking, the best of these was the Continental WinterContact TS 870 (No. 6 in the full test), followed by Goodyear UltraGrip Performance 3 (No. 8) and Pirelli Cinturato Winter 2 (No. 8). On measured results alone, the Continental WinterContact TS 870 was also the best in this test (96 points).

Straight-line aquaplaning: best Goodyear UltraGrip Performance 3 (80.5 km/h), weakest Continental WinterContact TS 870 (77.0 km/h) – a difference of 3.5 km/h, or 5%.

The Continental WinterContact TS 870 won the most test categories (2: fuel consumption and moose test). The largest percentage gap was in “fuel consumption” (6%). Of these, the Nokian Tyres Snowproof 2 ranked lowest in the tester's ranking (No. 11).

The Michelin Alpin 6 was No. 2 in the tester's ranking (among this test's Central European winter tyres), but only No. 4 in this test by TyreRanker score. In the measurements it was weaker in “fuel consumption”. The tester rated its handling and balance highly, which the measured results do not fully reflect.
