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's so much work and data. On the one hand we are thankful you did something.

    But, not really. I know you maintain that you cannot control the weather. But, it's not applicable. And, IMO the ambient temperature of the wet road test was not even measured or disclosed. Also, based on your short-sleeve shirt, it was too high to be of any real-world use, since it's still a very safe situation to be driving on warm roads. Given that you are testing all-season tires, IMO this research was not useful. You should have done the test at 5am or something, or gone to a different location, waited until it was closer to January, etc.

    Why did you leave out the Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 to compare to Pirelli pZero AS Plus 3 and Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 PLUS ???

      This is a while back but I think it was explained in the comments of the video?

        Legit question. This test is wackasaurus without the Michelins. They won YOUR previous ’22-’23 UHP all season tire test. Giving attitude to someone pointing out the obvious flaw in your test is weak sauce.

          It was not meant as attitude, I couldn't remember if I'd explained it in the video, hence the question mark.

            Roger that. I mentioned the Michelin cuz you’re the top G for tire comparisons and I depend on your reviews.

    So, when does a premium All Season tyre become a UHP All Season Tyre? Who defines whether a tyre is Premium, UHP or is it defined by the characteristics of the tyre by the testers rather than the manufacturers :-)
    Given this new generation of All season tyres, and the fact that you can't buy the Michelin Pilot Sport all Season in Europe :-( , are any of these new all season tyres UHP ? Would be great to have the Premium/UHP/UUHP classification of each tyre included in the next test
    Sorry Jonathan that may mean more work for you !

      It's actually quite simple, UHP all season tires are an american product which aren't three peak marked, so can't be sold in europe mostly because europeans expect anything called all season to be 3peak marked.

      No one has really released anything like a US uhp all season, falken and dunlop both have sporty all seasons which are three peak marked, but what is needed to make a tyre three peak means they are no where near as performance as a UHP all season.

    I am south UK based where we rarely get snow but am looking for an all season tyre that I could use to go up into the Alps where I would need the 3PMSF potentially in bad weather or chains. I am still debating which All Season tyre is best for on my Audi S4 Avant. All the tests suggest that the Michelin Crossclimate 2 is still the best all round tyre even when you reduce snow percentage. I had been debating the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 (due out in my sizes later this year allegedly). The state of the roads here in the UK is so bad now that I am actually dropping down rim size from 19" 245/35 R19 to 18" 245/40 R18 as the potholes are dreadful and the extra 1/2" tyre wall should help the ride quality and protect the rims. The debate is, is the MCC2 the best all Season tyre for UK incremental weather or do I just wait on the Michelin Pilot Sport S 5 and pop all season tyres on my 19" wheels for when I do into the Alps :-) Thoughts and opinions greatly appreciated.

      You'll be waiting a while for the S5! My next all season test with the new conti, bridgestone, pirelli etc will be out in a few weeks, that might help.

        Thank you so much Jonathan, I am eagerly awaiting your review as all your tests are excellent and I love your passion for tyres. Looking at the reviews and extrapolating it would look like the Continental SportContact 7 is still going to outperform the MPS S5 anyway. Following on from your earlier reviews I have put the SportContact 7s on my wife's Audi S3 and it is absolutely superb. The Audi S4 is going to be used for long distance touring over the next 3 to 4 years so I am sorely tempted just to stick the SportContact 7s on that as well and if/when we go into the Alps address that problem when I come to it as it will only be for 1-2 months max. Having said that the new Bridgestone Turanza allseason 6 does look like it could be the perfect tire for UK wet weather where Snow is a rarity :-) Trust me when I say that I will not be buying new tires until I have read your next All Season tire review :-D
