The german magazine Auto Bild has published in issue 38/2020 their Winter Tire Super Test 2020.
The tested tire size was 245/45 R18 100 V, test vehicle was a BMW 5-series.
About the Speed-Grip 3:
- Short braking distance and dynamic driving behavior on wet surface
- High mileage
- Good economy level
The wet grip rating indicates how well the tire will perform in wet conditions, with performance graded from class A down to class E. A high grade means short braking distances on wet roads.
Reduced rolling resistance saves fuel and cuts CO2 emissions. Class A tires deliver the best fuel efficiency, with fuel consumption increasing for each subsequent class through to E.
This is the external rolling noise generated by the tire, measured in decibels. The label shows the noise level rated in classes from A to C.
In addition to these three label values, there are also pictograms − if applicable − relating to performance in severe snow conditions (3PMSF) and/or grip in icy conditions (the latter applies to passenger car tires only).
With the EU label generator, you can access the specific label values for your Continental tires.
