AUTO Straßenverkehr published first winter tyre test for 2024 – new Blizzak 6 tested

The wait is over—we now have the first winter tyre test for 2024, conducted by AUTO Straßenverkehr. The test focused on tyres in the 235/55 R18 dimension, suitable for cars like the Skoda Kodiaq, Audi Q3, VW Tiguan, and the Seat Tarraco, which was also used as a test vehicle. We’re excited to see the new Bridgestone Blizzak 6 included, which we discussed earlier this week. The test features all the main premium SUV tyres, as well as some budget options, so let’s dive in.
