# ÖAMTC 2026 Winter Tire Test Results Released

September 25, 2026 at 05:55 PM

> The ÖAMTC evaluates 32 winter tire models, awarding six top ratings while nine fail due to safety and environmental performance issues.

The **ÖAMTC** released its 2026 winter tire test results, evaluating 32 different models. Six tires earned a 'good' rating, while nine were deemed 'unsatisfactory.' Top performers in the 225/50 R17 size include **Pirelli**, **Continental**, **Goodyear**, and **Michelin**.

For the 185/65 R15 dimension, Continental and Michelin received 'good' ratings. While the Sunwide Snowide and Rockblade Rock 868S led their categories in snow performance, both failed overall. No tire in the 185/65 R15 group earned a 'good' environmental score.

Safety remains a priority as nine models failed the rigorous testing process. The average predicted mileage for 185/65 R15 tires sits at 31,000 kilometers. Consumers should note that high snow performance does not always guarantee a passing overall grade.
