The tyre size 205/55 R16 is still the best-selling across Europe, and the team at Auto Build has once again selected this dimension for their latest winter tyre test. The German motoring publication has now published the results of the test’s qualifying round, which begins with 55 brands of winter tyre and ends with just 20. These last tyres standing will participate in further, in-depth testing to determine Auto Bild’s recommended winter tyres for the coming season.

Wait for the final results before putting Bridgestone and Kumho on a pedestal… have a feeling they will melt down like snow in the sun..

Hi Mark. Yes, you are right, Kumho is present and in second place amongst the finalists. Thanks for pointing this out, we've now updated the text.

In your better luck next time section, you say Kumho is absent as no products were tested, yet in the 'finalists' section they are shown as second, which is correct?
