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.

    Hi! I have a CX5 2.0 petrol (165 bhp) only front drive.

    We live in a hot and near the sea area, but we have to do like 250 km a day into a cold area, with snow sometimes and frequent ice presence on winding roads. We wear currently Toyo Proxes R46 (225/55 R19). Bad wet handling and decent on dry.

    We are thinking of mounting all season. 225/55 r19 is not very common size and the preferred option (Michelin Crossclimate SUV) is very expensive, so we are thinking of changing to equivalent 235/50 R19.

    As we do a lot of kms, with hot surfaces, frequent ice and event snow, and mixed highway and secundary roads, which model would yoy recommend me? We value wear (as we do lot of kms), and dey/wet/snow/ice balance.

    Thanks.

    Nice Test John!

    Just ordered the Vredestein Quatrac 5 in 245/45/20 for our Discovery Sport.
    They gonna replace the Pirelli Scorpion Verde Allseason (who have only M+S) and are done.

    Ps. We live in the Grindelwald Region in Switzerland, can’t wait to test these in this size.
    We had these Quatrac 5 on our Smart fortwo and they did amazingly well here.

    Thank you Vredestein!!

    I´m using the Continental AllSeasonsContact in Luxembourg where 3PMFS is mandatory and they are performing much better than my previous winter tyres (MS77) - at least in wet & dry, not tested yet on snow- Really good option.

    Looking at the last tests (not only this one), it seems that all seasons tires have similar (sometime better) snow performances than pure winter tires but with significant better performances on the dry and wet.
    I'm starting to think that in my country (Italy) a good option could be to use AS tires in the winter and Summer tires in summer...

      I've been recommended all season tyres as winter tyres for a while now, especially summer bias all season like the CrossClimate to the warmer parts of Europe.
