The German magazine Moove (new mobility Podcast from auto motor und sport) has published in their issue 03/2019 a Summer Premium and Eco Tyre Test 2019. The tested tyre size were 205/55 R16 91 V, 225/45 R 17 94 W and 155/70 R 19 84 Q, test vehicle was a VW eGolf.
This is the first published European Magazine tyre test on an e-Car. The weighting of this magazine test is safety oriented.
Main test size was 205/55 R 16. 225/45 R 17 was added as the usual wide base tyre on the Golf. As concept tyre the magazine added a 155/70 R 19 OE tall and narrow tyre from the BMW i3, this tyre is too tall for the vehicle and for that reason no Rating was given.
The test was conducted by Moove (ams) at the Contidrom, Jeversen, Germany (wet and dry tests).
