Winter tyre (Central European)
Yokohama BluEarth*Winter V905 205/55 R16: braking distance on a wet road from 90 km/h is about 47 m (Citroën C3 IV (2024+), without reaction time; based on EU label class C · Pidurdusmaa.ee)
Magazine tests
Published braking distances (Auto Bild, auto motor und sport, Auto Zeitung, ADAC, Za Rulem and others). Rank = position in the same test on the same surface (1 = shortest). The tests use different sizes, cars and conditions, so only compare numbers within the same test.
| Test | Size | Conditions | Result | Rank | Best |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Auto Bild 2020 | 245/45 R18 | snow · speed not stated | 26.1 m | 24 / 30 | 24.3 m |
| Auto Bild 2020 | 245/45 R18 | wet asphalt · speed not stated | 35.4 m | 19 / 50 | 30.3 m |
| Auto Bild 2019 | 225/45 R17 | snow · speed not stated | 26.0 m | 22 / 30 | 24.0 m |
| Auto Bild 2019 | 225/45 R17 | wet asphalt · speed not stated | 32.5 m | 16 / 53 | 29.2 m |
The calculation on this page does not use these results: our check showed that a test in another size does not predict wet braking better than the EU label for your size. They are shown here as measured facts.
