Continental has been dominating the winter tyre segment for years, and the TS870 is no different. It is very well-balanced and offers great mileage, making the premium price point worthwhile in the long run.

Expert summary

There aren’t many things to dislike about the Winter i*cept RS3, except perhaps for slightly lower mileage and higher rolling resistance. For its price, it performs well in all weather conditions.

Expert summary

Old but gold, that is how we can pretty much describe the Krisalp HP3. It's a winter tyre that is great on snow for a good price, which is what the average driver is looking for. It's not a premium tyre, but you get a lot of bang for your buck.

Expert summary

G-Force Winter 2 is our favorite budget winter tyre. It's great on snow and offers good safety on all surfaces, which is no surprise as BFGoodrich is a part of the Michelin group.

Expert summary

We really like the new Speed-Grip 5 - it's not expensive, it's very good on snow and on top of that, it's got very low rolling resistance. What it lacks compared to the premium tyres is better wet performance, but given it's price it's definitely recommendable.

Top brands in 165/60 R15

Did you know ...?

165/60 R15 doesn't belong to the most popular dimensions for winter tyres - there are 12 tyre models available, which can be compared to 185/75 R14, 185/55 R14, 170/60 R17. Let's break down the sizing - 60 is height of the tyre, which is calculated as 60% of the tyre width (165mm), which means the sidewall height has 99 mm. The wheel diameter is R15, which means it fits to a 15 inch/381mm diameter wheel. The total circumference of the tyre is 1818.98 mm, which is very similar to 215/40 R16(1817.1 mm), 155/80 R13(1816.47 mm), 185/60 R14(1814.58 mm), 195/45 R16(1828.09 mm), 195/50 R15(1809.56 mm), 175/70 R13(1807.04 mm), 175/65 R14(1831.86 mm). There are multiple speed indexes available for winter tyres in 165/60 R15: R(170km/h), T(190km/h). The same goes for weight indexes: 77, 81, 110.
