Winter tire test of size 235/55 R18 от издательства Autobild 2021 г.

In its latest test, Auto Bild compared 235/55 R18 size tires intended for crossovers, with the new Goodyear UltraGrip Performance+ SUV and the proven Michelin Pilot Alpin 5 SUV sharing the top spot. Both tires performed well in the key disciplines, but were criticized for respectively average comfort and high prices, which did not prevent the experts from awarding the Goodyear and Michelin a "Virtually flawless" rating.
