- Rated “good” twice across different tyre sizes and vehicle classes
- Strong aquaplaning performance and lateral grip on snow in the Supertest
- Good wet-road performance and low rolling resistance in the winter tyre test
Hanover, Germany, November XX, 2026. The Semperit Speed-Grip 5 received an overall rating of “good” in two recent winter tyre tests conducted by German automotive magazine Auto Bild. The winter tyre was tested in size 245/45 R19 on a BMW 5 Series and in size 205/55 R16 on a VW Golf. Across the two tests, the tyre delivered strong performance in wet and snowy conditions as well as in terms of efficiency.
In the Auto Bild Winter Tyre Supertest 2026, the Speed-Grip 5 qualified for the final round of the 20 best tyres from an initial field of 50 products. In size 245/45 R19, it achieved an overall rating of “good” with a score of 2.4. The testers particularly highlighted its aquaplaning performance and strong lateral grip on snow.
“The two tests show that the Speed-Grip 5 delivers a well-balanced performance package across different vehicle classes and tire sizes” says Matthias Bartz, Business Development Manager EMEA.
The Speed-Grip 5 also received an overall rating of “good” in the latest Auto Bild winter tire test in size 205/55 R16. Among a field of 14 winter tires, it achieved a score of 1.6. The testers particularly praised its good performance on wet roads and low rolling resistance.
“The two tests show that the Speed-Grip 5 delivers a well-balanced performance package across different vehicle classes and tire sizes,” says Matthias Bartz, Business Development Manager EMEA. “The strong results in wet conditions, aquaplaning and lateral grip on snow are particularly important when driving in changing winter conditions.”
Across the two evaluations, the test programs covered a broad range of winter tire requirements, from snow and wet-road testing to dry handling, rolling resistance and other characteristics relevant to everyday driving. The Speed-Grip 5 demonstrated that its strengths come into play differently depending on tire size and application profile.
