Auto Bild summer tyre test win for Goodyear & Michelin

After keeping us in suspense for a couple of weeks, Auto Bild has published the final results of its summer tyre testing. Having eliminated many of the original 52 tyre brands in a preliminary round of wet and dry braking, the publication’s test specialist Dierk Möller examined the 20 size 225/40 R18 finalists in greater detail, investigating how each performed in conditions typically encountered throughout the year. Auto Bild also considered purchase price and its relationship to mileage potential, as well as rolling resistance, giving each tyre a ‘cost’ score for these factors.

Multiple errors – Michelin fails Auto Bild test

Nothing beats a sensational headline, and we certainly have one for you today. Renowned German motoring publication Auto Bild has condemned Michelin to last place in a six-way comparative test, informing its readers that despite the presence of the French firm’s Bibendum logo, the product in question is both “cheap-looking” and unreliable. But the (very) good news for Michelin is that this test didn’t involve its tyres, with Auto Bild instead evaluating tyre pressure gauges for home use.

Classic look, modern tech – Auto Bild tests 7 tyres

According to Dierk Möller, tyre tester for the Auto Bild Group, modern tyres with a period look act like a form of live-cell therapy for classic vehicles. “Thanks to modern technology, they improve driving dynamics and at the same time increase safety reserves.” But some tyre models fulfil this remit better than others.

Specialist vs all-rounder – Auto Bild tests tyres for EVs

While some believe that EVs require specialised fitments, a growing number promote their entire product ranges as equally suitable for electric, petrol and diesel vehicles. Examining both approaches, Auto Bild has tested five standard tyre models and three specialised EV tyres. It fitted these eight products to a Kia EV6 in size 235/55 R19.
