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.
It will be interesting to compare a premium and budget winter tyres after 15 000 to kilometers to see wich tyres keep better preformance during the tyres wear.
Hello Jonathan. I really enjoy your videos. You helped me understand so much about tyre. Right now I want to buy good all season tyres. I am going to buy VW Polo 1.4 TDI 2006, and it has a strange tyre size. 185/60/14 I think. And I am also limited by budget. I live in Serbia in southern parts and we have per average 37 snow days, and thats nothing. Sometimes we get 20 snow days. Most of the time its just dry. So the tyre need to be only good in dry and hot, becouse we can get a pretty hot summer sometimes. Right now I am looking at Fulda MultiControl 52e and Kleber Quadraxer 2 49e.
I want a nice riding, comfortable, low noise with good fuel economy tyre that will survive summer.
Are there any other choices exept these? I will pay more for the right tyre but for a right price.
The CrossClimate is the master of dry performance in the all season category, all the rest can only be described as average at the moment. The Bridgestone A005 looks to be very good in braking but has high wear.
How about Conti Allseasoncontact rr Vredestein Quatrac 5 ? I cant find CrossClimate Plus version in 14' size. They only sell regular version. Is it a still good choice?
The regular CrossClimate is still a great choice, they didn't change much for the + version
How about Vredestein Quatrac 5?
Hey TyreReviews, I would love to see a test on the Michellin CrossClimate+ vs UHP Summer, vs UHP Winter Vs Budget Summer in the wet and dry in say 10 degree ish heat (plus or minis a bit). If it performs well at these temps (considering the mild UK winters we've been having) it could actually just be the best UK tyre for most of the time.
Something like that in the works at the moment
Sounds great! Can't wait to see it.
Expected a bigger difference, interresting test.
Awesome video, as always.
And I have one question.
I live in south east europe and we very rarely have snow here but temps are low and it rains pretty often. Should i buy winter or all season or all weather tyres for conditions like these?
Mild winter, buy all seasons, wow.
Thank you very much.
Very informative video/post, thank you for taking the time to do it. It convinced me to not go cheap on winter tires despite the short season where I live. I do have a follow up question if you have time.
I have a Tesla Model 3 with dual motor/AWD, How much difference in dry, wet, and snow/ice would there be between a "studless ice/snow" tire and a "performance winter/snow" tire? Looking at the difference between the Michelin X-Ice Xi3 and Pirelli Winter Sottozero 3. So how much worse in wet/dry is the X-Ice? And how much worse in the snow/ice is the Sottozero?
Where I live it rains a lot and low temps are in the 34f/2c - 41f/5c range. We only get snow once or twice during the winter, but I do drive through snowy passes a few times a month so I don't want to have sub-optimal snow/ice ability. Thank you!
Another great video! Just to add - the Golf starts around 1,400 kg, the Volvo around 1,800 kg, depending mainly on the engine and gearbox.
Thank you :)
