If you enjoy sporty driving in winter conditions, the PA5 SUV is the go-to tyre. It's usually the best in the snow in all the tests, while maintaining balance and safety in other conditions. Only downside is high rolling resistance, which is why it hasn't won all the tests it was in.

Michelin Pilot Alpin 5 ( 325/35 R22 114W XL, SUV )
Wintrac Pro is a winter option from a dutch manufacturer that is getting a bit outdated, but on wet and dry roads it still holds up with the premium segment. It has some
minor weaknesses on snow, but for a lower than premium price it could be a good deal.
325/35 R22 doesn't belong to the most popular dimensions for winter tyres - there are 1 tyre models available, which can be compared to 155/60 R15, 170/60 R17, 160/60 R14. Let's break down the sizing - 35 is height of the tyre, which is calculated as 35% of the tyre width (325mm), which means the sidewall height has 113.75 mm. The wheel diameter is R22, which means it fits to a 22 inch/558.8mm diameter wheel. The total circumference of the tyre is 2470.23 mm, which is very similar to 285/40 R22(2471.81 mm), 315/40 R21(2467.41 mm), 275/55 R19(2466.46 mm), 255/55 R20(2477.15 mm), 275/65 R17(2479.66 mm), 275/50 R20(2459.87 mm), 285/45 R21(2481.54 mm).
