2025 ADAC All Season Tyre Test

The German motor club ADAC is at the very peak of tyre testing, so any new test of theirs is extremely exciting. For 2025 ADAC has tested popular all season tyres in the common 225/45 R17 size, and included a wear test and a real world economy test. Sadly this test was started before the introduction of the CrossClimate 3.

Even with ADAC's rather unique way of testing, the winners are not a surprise, with Goodyear, Continental and Pirelli taking the top spots. The most interesting piece of data was the wear result of the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 - all but matching the Michelin CrossClimate 2 and beating the Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6, but none of the leading tyres could get close to the Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 impressive wear results.

As usual, ADAC only present a selection of data, but be sure to visit their site for their detailed thoughts on the test results. This is perhaps the first year ADAC has described a number of the tyres as good to replace a summer and winter tyre combination, though half the tyres were still not up to their high standards.

Dry

The Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 led the Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 in braking, with the cheaper tyres performing poorly, stopping over 8 meters further on.

Wet

There was nearly a 10 meter difference between the best and worst all season tyres in wet braking, with Continental, Bridgestone and Pirelli leading the pack.

The order was almost the same when wet braking on concrete.

PIrelli and Bridgestone were the best of the top performers in the deeper water of aquaplaning.

Snow

Barum, Michelin and Nexen tied for the best result in snow braking, with all the tyres other than the Petlas performing relatively well.

Michelin, BFGoodrich and Nexen had the highest traction force in the snow traction test.

Ice

The Nexen N'Blue 4Season 2 also led the way in ice braking, with Aplus making a surprise appearance in second place.

Comfort

The Nexen was also the quietest tyre in the passby noise test.

Value

Goodyear and Dunlop had a huge lead in the wear test.

When calculating wear vs purchase price, the Aplus AS909 proved to be the best value.

The amount of weight a tyre loses during the wear test doesn't always match the wear results, but in this case it was fairly close, with Goodyear, APlus and Dunlop having the best wearing compounds in terms of particulate matter.

Finally, Aplus was the best in the fuel consumption test, however all the tyres were only separated by 0.3 litres per 100 km driven.

Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen 3

225/45 R17 94W

• EU Label: C/B/B70
• Origin: France
• 3PMSF: yes
• Weight: 8.8 kgs
• Price: 135.00

The Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 just misses a "good" rating for driving safety due to weaknesses on dry roads, but its very strong environmental performance secures a good overall grade. In summer conditions, the tyre lacks precise steering response, requiring minor corrections in curves, and its dry braking is only satisfactory. It performs well on wet surfaces, especially in braking and handling, though its aquaplaning resistance is average. In winter conditions, the tyre is impressive, offering short braking distances on snow and ice with excellent traction. Its only shortcoming is average handling performance on snow. Environmentally, the tyre is a top performer with a very high projected mileage, low abrasion, and good marks for weight and fuel efficiency.

• EU Label: C/B/B71
• Origin: Slovakia
• 3PMSF: yes
• Weight: 9.4 kgs
• Price: 135.00

The Continental AllSeasonContact 2 is the only tyre in the test to achieve a "good" rating in both driving safety and environmental impact, resulting in a good overall score. On dry roads, it performs well, offering good steering feedback and safe handling at the limit, along with above-average braking. It is also convincing on wet surfaces, scoring high marks for braking and handling, providing good grip and precise control, though its resistance to aquaplaning is only satisfactory. Uniquely, it also secures a good rating on winter roads, delivering above-average performance in all areas, including braking on ice and snow, traction, and safe handling. In the environmental assessment, the tyre also earns a good score thanks to its positive predicted mileage, low abrasion, and low fuel consumption, though its slightly above-average weight prevents an even better rating.

Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3

225/45 R17 94W

• EU Label: C/A/B71
• Origin: Romania
• 3PMSF: yes
• Weight: 8.7 kgs
• Price: 127.00

The Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 narrowly misses a "good" result for driving safety but achieves a good rating for its environmental performance, securing a just-good overall score. It is the top-performing tyre in the test on dry roads, offering precise steering, good handling at the limit, and nearly a "very good" rating for its short braking distance. It also scores best on wet roads, delivering good results in both braking and handling with strong grip and control, though its aquaplaning resistance is only rated as satisfactory. However, its performance dips on winter roads; braking and handling on snow are merely satisfactory as it struggles to combine longitudinal and cornering forces effectively. It does, however, earn good ratings for traction on snow and braking on ice. Environmentally, the tyre performs well, with good projected mileage, low abrasion, low weight, and minimal impact on fuel consumption.

Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6

225/45 R17 94W

• EU Label: C/B/B70
• Origin: Hungary
• 3PMSF: yes
• Weight: 9.5 kgs
• Price: 126.00

The Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 narrowly misses a "good" score for driving safety, but its strong environmental performance helps it secure a satisfactory overall result. On dry roads in summer, it shows slight weaknesses with only adequate steering feedback and response, requiring occasional corrections in long curves. However, it maintains good safety reserves at the limit and achieves a good rating for braking from high speeds. The tyre performs well on wet surfaces, particularly in braking and handling, allowing for precise control. Its straight-line aquaplaning resistance is good, though only satisfactory when cornering. In winter conditions, its performance falters, receiving merely satisfactory scores for snow braking and handling. While it earns good ratings for snow traction and ice braking, it struggles to effectively combine cornering and straight-line forces on snow. Environmentally, the tyre scores well with good projected mileage, low abrasion, and low fuel consumption, though its slightly above-average weight prevents a top mark in this category.

• EU Label: C/B/B71
• Origin: Italy
• 3PMSF: yes
• Weight: 8.8 kgs
• Price: 145.00

The Michelin CrossClimate 2 receives a merely "satisfactory" overall rating because its performance on wet roads doesn't rise above that level, despite a good environmental score. On dry roads, the tyre performs well, offering good steering feedback, precision, and safe handling at its limits, along with a good braking distance. However, on wet surfaces, it only achieves a satisfactory result; while its braking is still considered good, its resistance to aquaplaning and its general wet handling are rated as average due to mediocre grip levels. In contrast, the Michelin delivers the best winter performance in the test. It scores well for traction and braking on snow and ice, and it uniquely earns a "very good" rating for its outstandingly precise handling and high safety reserves on snow. Environmentally, the tyre performs well, offering high projected mileage, low wear, and above-average results for both fuel consumption and weight.

• EU Label: C/B/B72
• Origin: France
• 3PMSF: yes
• Weight: 8.6 kgs
• Price: 123.00

The Dunlop Sport All Season 2's driving safety is only rated "satisfactory" due to its performance on both dry and wet roads. While a good environmental score improves its standing slightly, the overall result remains satisfactory. The tyre's weakest performance is on dry roads, where it offers only average steering feedback and lacks precision, requiring frequent driver corrections. Its braking distance is also below average. On wet surfaces, it narrowly misses a good rating, held back by merely satisfactory aquaplaning resistance. However, it earns good scores for wet braking and handling, providing precise and safe control. In winter conditions, the tyre performs well, achieving good ratings across the board for traction on snow, braking on snow and ice, and secure handling. Environmentally, the Dunlop scores well with a very good rating for projected mileage and good results for wear, weight, and fuel consumption.

The BFGoodrich Advantage All-Season tyre does not surpass a "satisfactory" rating in either driving safety or environmental performance, leading to a satisfactory overall grade. On dry roads, it performs well, offering good steering feedback, precision, and safe handling at the limit, along with a significantly shorter-than-average braking distance. However, on wet surfaces, its performance is only satisfactory. It fails to deliver good results in braking and aquaplaning tests, and its handling is also rated as merely satisfactory because it struggles to combine lateral and longitudinal forces, leading to early understeer or oversteer. In contrast, the tyre is convincing in winter conditions, earning good ratings for its braking, traction, and secure handling on snow. Environmentally, the tyre just misses a good rating due to its projected mileage, though its wear, fuel consumption, and weight are all rated as good.

The Viking FourTech Plus does not exceed a "satisfactory" rating in any driving safety category (dry, wet, or winter). Although it scores a "good" rating for its environmental performance, its overall grade is only satisfactory. The tyre's weakest area is on dry roads, where steering feedback and precision are lacking, requiring the driver to make corrections to hold a line. Its dry braking distance is also below average. On wet roads, it narrowly misses a good rating; while braking is good, its performance in aquaplaning and handling is only satisfactory due to a tendency to understeer or oversteer. In winter conditions, the results are also merely satisfactory across the board in traction, braking on snow and ice, and handling, with a lack of precision at the limit. On a positive note, the tyre's environmental performance is good, thanks to high marks for projected mileage, low wear, low weight, and very low fuel consumption.

• EU Label: D/B/B72
• Origin: Hungary
• 3PMSF: yes
• Weight: 9.9 kgs
• Price: 121.00

The Vredestein Quatrac Pro+ receives a mere "adequate" rating for driving safety due to its poor performance on dry roads, which also downgrades its overall score. On dry surfaces, it offers only adequate steering feedback and lacks precision, with delayed responses that require driver corrections to maintain a consistent line through curves. The tyre also tends to oversteer early during dynamic maneuvers, and its braking is rated as only satisfactory. On wet roads, it misses a good rating; while braking is still good, its aquaplaning resistance and handling are only satisfactory due to understeer/oversteer tendencies. Winter performance is also just satisfactory, with average results in traction and braking on snow and ice. While it narrowly misses a good score in snow handling, it lacks overall precision. Environmentally, the tyre achieves a satisfactory result, with good scores for projected mileage and wear, but its high weight leads to only a satisfactory efficiency rating, despite good fuel consumption.

225/45 R17 94Y

• EU Label: C/C/B72
• Origin: Germany
• 3PMSF: yes
• Weight: 9.2 kgs
• Price: 107.00

The Barum Quartaris 5 receives an "adequate" rating for driving safety, which also defines its overall grade. Its performance is weak on dry roads and only satisfactory on wet surfaces, though it performs well in winter and earns a good score for its environmental impact. On dry roads, the tyre provides poor steering feedback and precision, requiring constant corrections as it responds with a delay and tends to oversteer early during lane changes. On wet roads, it scores as merely satisfactory across all criteria, with average grip levels and a tendency to understeer or oversteer. In contrast, the tyre performs well in winter conditions, earning good scores for braking and traction on snow, and its handling is rated as secure and largely precise. Environmentally, the German-made tyre achieves a good rating thanks to good projected mileage, low wear, low weight, and good fuel efficiency.
