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. There is much of unlogic stuff. Kimbo Solus H32. 2020. Worst on test in wear, 2021.first on test in wear. Same tyre...
Tyre companies love putting out big updates into existing tyres and not changing the name. I'm not sure of the logic, but it could be that
Hi TyreReviews
Thanks for great and detailed review, however I am uncertain as to which exact tyres were tested. Example - following your review I would like to buy Goodyear Vector, but in the tested size (205/55/16) they come in a few different versions. Even if I stick to my load/fuel index (which is 91 V) Goodyear still has 3 versions of that tyre - one regular and two XLs. And the difference between them can be seen in noise levels, fuel consumption etc.
Two of them have C for fuel consumption (EU label) and one of them has A respectively.
So which variation of this tyre exactly is meant in the test?
There is quite a difference between A and C fuel indexes so which tyre was better in this respect than Continental AllSeason which is widely considered to have low rolling resistance. But here again, Continental comes in regular and XL variants with C and B fuel indexes - so which Continental do you mean?
I would gladly follow your advice and choose Goodyear but should I go for XL Goodyear tyres? My car allegedly does not need them (Toyota Corolla Verso 1.6 110HP R1 - 2004) but maybe I would benefit from using them? Only XL version has A class fuel consumption.
Could you please clarify this topic a bit and specify which tyre versions were used in these tests?
Thank you a lot.
Hi Alexandra, this wasn't my test, it was conducted by Auto Bild, they should have the full details on their German website. You can read the tyre reviews all season test here which has the load / speed / DOT noted in the results:
https://www.tyrereviews.com...
OK - but Auto Bild says that they had tested Goodyear V4season with 91V index and C petrol class, and that petrolwise it was almost the best (2nd place). They claim it was even better than Continental - the only tyre with B petrol class in the test. So how can Goodyear be better in this respect?? Are EU labels unreliable or was Auto Bild test faulty? I would really appreciate your opinion on that.
Different test conditions can change the order, it's not unusual to see magazines having different RR results from the official label scores, in fact it's quite common!
I am planning to purchase Nokian Seasonproof tyres for my Skoda Fabia estate for use in the UK. Any recent user comments, please?
Traditionally the Nokian all season tyres are the most winter bias, so unless you're in the very North of the UK I would suggest something a bit more suited to our climate
Thanks; I am in the Midlands of England with little snow most winters.
Hey, is this the Vredestein Quatrac 5 or the Pro version?
Neither, it's the new Quatrac
Can you please post a link of it? I cannot find it and here the thread is not shown as well.
It's literally linked in the article https://www.tyrereviews.com...
Is it possible that premium class Bridgestone is worst then middle class Firestone? It's not make any sense cos firestone belongs to bridgestone.
I would be surprised if that was the case with same generation tyres
Thanks for quick reply :-). Bridgestone Weather Control A005 EVO should be better because is premium grade. Firestone is middle class. Why Bridgestone make better tire from Firestone Company?
It doesn't make sense to have two brands at the same level, so they split tier them
It is obvious, I don't understand why cheaper lower class tires (Firestone Multiseason 2) are better than premium tires (Bridgestone Weather Control A005 Evo)?
The score weighting in this test favours snow grip, which the firestone did well in and the Bridgestone did not. The Bridgestone was way better in the dry and wet.
In your opinion as an expert which tire is better? I have a toyota avensis T27 1.8 valvematic. Mainly city driving. Which one would you choose?
This test highlights the differences. One is better in dry and wet and the other in snow, so it depends what you want
Should I be influenced by the fact that one is premium class and the other is middle class, is it a negligible argument
Negligible, not technical argument.

I just found CC² on U.S. web. Looks they improve behavior on snow, but I expected more different pattern. Michelin wants sell out stores in Europe with old specs. probably, or myabe delay duo to EU ecoterorism.
The US version of the CC2 is a slightly different spec to the European version, I'll have more details in Feb :)
And, do you have more info now, about the European Michelin CrossClimate 2 version?
Sadly the planned test has been delayed, but I do know the main improvements of the CC2 are wet and snow performance. It was always dominating in the dry so it should be a really impressive tyre
Any further info on the CC2 / it's launch in Europe?
Sept 2nd :)
Mr Benson, you’ve outdone yourself yet again. Thank you.
One big suprise in this test, Vredestein made directional pattern....finally :-D
Here is another winter+AS tire test in 205/55/16. Even it's in Slovak language, graph and table are easily understandable. My front Hankooks quit burn out in Slovakian test.
https://www.youtube.com/wat...
The Quatrac 5 was direction, which this replaces :)
I've seen the video, interesting test, though I feel it's a shame there isn't two seperate videos forAS and winter.
It's probably due to, they had GY Utra Grip 9+ as a referential tire, and all winter and AS tires were compered to GY UG 9+.
This new Vredestein look like my next AS tires, because Bridgestone, even on EVO version, did'n improve snow performance and aquaplaning to my acceptable values.
