Adjust Result Weighting
The overall scores below are calculated using our weighting system. Since the original publication may use a different scoring methodology that wasn't shared, these results may differ from their published rankings. You can adjust the weightings below to explore how different priorities affect the results.

Not every driver has the same priorities. Adjust the category weightings above to re-rank the tyres based on what matters most to your driving style.
Scores are colour-coded from red (weakest) through yellow to green (strongest) to help you quickly spot each tyre's strengths and weaknesses.
The original test ranking is shown in the # column. Arrows indicate how each tyre moves when your custom weighting is applied.
What kind of journalism is this? Instead of writing about winning tire they are writing something like this... talking about anything to move attention to specific product. If you didn't understand what they wrote Nokian Weatherproof outperformed and wins over any other all season tire in a snow test. Quote:
Snow braking is where you expect the summer optimised Michelin CrossClimate to show a weakness, but instead it considerably out performed the Uniroyal all season and almost matched the Pirelli. Unsurprisingly, the full winter stopped the car in the shortest distance at 22.45 meters, and the Nokian WeatherProof narrowly finished behind its full winter sister, stopping the car in 22.52 meters. Goodyear finished in third place at 22.81 meters, then the Pirelli, Michelin and Uniroyal stopped the car in 23.71, 23.89 and 25.01 respectively. The summer tyre, well that didn't perform so well, taking 50.33 meters to bring the Golf to a full stop!'
Good testing but what about wear rate especially in hot summers.
Just tested Michelin Cross Climates in the snow. 15% gradient climb in 2-3 inches of snow in the scottish highlands over about 150-200m. Have them fitted to the golf and this was the first chance to really test them in the snow. With a 15mph run the car managed up the slope with some difficulty but nothing too dramatic. I was extremely impressed given the summer background of these tyres. I'm sure winter tyres would have been a little more confident but given the extreme nature of this test the tyres couldn't be faulted.
Personally, from those results I would choose the Michelin over the Goodyear.
Does the CrossClimate have the M+S symbol to make it legal for driving in Germany during the Winter?
Yes you can see it at the photos of the tyre
Thank you, I did look but I couldn't make it out on my phone screen.
The CrossClimate also has the mountain and snowflake symbol.
There is very good comparison test in summer, autumn and winter between three Michelin tires on the same French magazine

Thanks for the link Igor, we'll look at writing this up.
Very good test conditions but, i think that testers were a little bit biased negative.This tyre didnt made to overcome the summer or winter tyres. It does just it says (If you see also and the rest tests, Autobild etc). A very good summer tyre-better from the average, TOP to wet conditions and finally, very good to snow and ice, also better from average of all winter tyres. We dont speak about a champion to all categories, but for an all time and overall very good player for temperate climate, as the most of Europe has! A very-very good tyre for, the average and plus, driver!
I drove at 40+ degrees Celsius at summer in Greece and tyres were just the same with my previus energy+!. Also i drove 10 days ago to snow and ice for over 20klm up and downs, again without a problem i went to home, otherwise, i had to wear snow chains!
Look forward to that, had a mooch at the first couple of pages via google translate, but it isn't exactly an easy read! My favourite sentence was; The rear suspension is not sensitive at sunrise walk but easily rotates with the brake. :-)
7000 klm after with CrossClimate, i am very satisfited to dry and wet both, the wear also great, seems that they have strong materials. Finaly i tested them at snow. First of all you don't stuck nowhere! Even to snow or ice. When you start once, you have the full command of the car. They are not for WRC but they are ownest and do the job. Dont forget, they are summer tyres! And also very good to snow, not top but very good! Better than all weathers and almost equal to winters. In rain they are petfect without competition! Overall is the most complete summer tyre ever made for all weather conditions!
PS. And very-very quiet too!
We assume you're referring to the CrossClimate?
Yes, forgot to write
