Expert summary
Continental winter tires have been winning tire tests for many years, and the 870P is no exception. The “P” stands for performance, but don’t be mistaken, its rolling resistance is also praised, making it ideal for EVs. A well-balanced tire.

Expert summary
Blizzak has always been a winter tire focused on wet conditions, but with its sixth model, Bridgestone has promised improved snow performance and reduced rolling resistance. Early tests suggest they have delivered on these promises—Blizzak 6 is unmatched in wet conditions and excels on snow, making it ideal not just for city climates.

While being somehow dated as it was introduced back in 2015, it received some midlife updates and still holds up with the current models, at least in smaller dimensions. At the right price, it could be a great choice.

Price from£140
Expert summary
Michelin has unveiled the ALPIN 7 winter tyre, featuring an advanced tread design with additional sipes and an evolving tread pattern to maintain traction as the tyre wears. The new model aims to enhance braking and acceleration on snowy and wet roads while improving overall efficiency for a variety of vehicles. Unlike the Alpin 6, which was considered a bit overpriced for its performance, the Alpin 7 is expected to offer better value and address concerns in upcoming winter tests.

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
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.

Did you know ...?

195/55 R20 doesn't belong to the most popular dimensions for winter tyres - there are 9 tyre models available, which can be compared to 165/80 R13, 155/70 R19, 155/80 R13. Let's break down the sizing - 55 is height of the tyre, which is calculated as 55% of the tyre width (195mm), which means the sidewall height has 107.25 mm. The wheel diameter is R20, which means it fits to a 20 inch/508mm diameter wheel. The total circumference of the tyre is 2269.8 mm, which is very similar to 225/70 R16(2266.34 mm), 225/65 R17(2275.46 mm), 265/40 R20(2261.95 mm), 215/80 R15(2277.65 mm), 235/45 R20(2260.38 mm), 275/35 R21(2280.48 mm), 265/35 R21(2258.49 mm). There are multiple speed indexes available for winter tyres in 195/55 R20: H(210km/h), R(170km/h), W(270km/h). The same goes for weight indexes: 95, 110.
