Testing Studless Ice & Snow Tires on the Ice and Dry Roads

View All Tire Test Results

A little time on an ice rink, a few laps of our Real World Road Ride and some performance measurements on our test track are what we need to compare the icy, dry and wet road performance of the newest entries in Studless Ice & Snow - Bridgestone's Blizzak WS90 (next generation Multi-Cell compound), Continental VikingContact 7 (previously only available in Europe) and the Yokohama iceGUARD iG53 (moisture-wicking compound).How good are these new, technological marvels? And how do they compare to the top-ranking Michelin X-Ice Xi3?
