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.
Hello! I am wondering if a set of Continental All Season Contact 2 which is 112 Euro here would outperform two separate sets specifically for winter and summer respectively, from LAUFENN, at 76 Euro each.
I used to run Nokias winter tyres on powerful fwd modified mini 280hp from about 2010 to 2015
Banbury, so think south midlands edge of Cotswold climate with ad08r as full on summer tyre and Goodyear Asy for spring and autumn ( yes 3 sets of wheels and 20k + pa it sort of made sense)
Now in a even more powerful f56 330hp fwd I’m looking for what would call a 1.5 season tyre to compliment the current asy 6 for the 3- 4 months of the year when I am driving at 7.00 am or earlier and country B roads will be predominantly cold and damp, only doing 10-12 k pa but still space for 2 sets of wheels, yet in my mind I think full winters are too compromised for the majority of my cold weather driving.
So should I be looking at the CC3 sport or one of these or have I got this fundamentally all wrong and should run a full winter for those December to March conditions, and then the summers.
And by foregoing the main benefit of not swapping rubber, means a targeted mild winter tyre is a better option in my circumstances?
Looks like the braking tests just got less useful.. xxx to 5 km/h? Personally I care about how long it will take to STOP, not to hit something with 5 km/h...
There's a lot wrong with this statement.
Firstly, no tester measures to 0, abs becomes too much of a factor. They just extrapolate and don't tell you.
Secondly, what does the full braking distance matter to you unless you need to make an emergency stop in that very location. Distances is HUGELY dependent on surface, the thing that's important is the % differences between the tyres.
Any plans to test the new Pirelli Ice Friction? it is said to rival other brands like Michelin and Nokian in winter weathers
Not from me this year sorry, maybe next!
What about the Michelin CrossClimate 2 SUV, have you ever tested this?
What am I missing, no Michein All Seasons?
Explained at the start of the video, sadly bad timing with the release of cc3
As always great testing and presentation! It's time to change vector 4 season gen2 on my Mazda cx-30 in Greece after 53k km. I think about continental but i worry about their noise they are the "loudest" and I want a comfort tyre. Otherwise I would go for the Bridgestone. Mostly I drive on road and once or twice a year on dirt roads. When it snow I try to find time and go on forrests and relax. I mostly consider comfort, noise and reliability on all weather. If it can be combined with high mileage, perfect What would you suggest? I find both tyres in almost same price (+-15euro).
Keep on testing!
Michelin CrossClimate 3 might be a good option for comfort.
Well since cross climate 3 in not availiable in 215/55/18, I fitted Bridgestone Turanza 6 all season since it is more summer like tire, in realy good price (10% cheapers than continental) and in Greece there is a 12month guarantee. From your test I assume that they will fit great in our weather -even for those 4-5 times a year I drive on snow. They replaced the decent Goodyear Vecror4season GEN-2 SUV after 52000km, with only disadvantage not great in dry braking. Bridgestone feel so smooth and comfort, but of course they are brand new. I'll follow with them they same rule of rotation every 10000km. In the photos the old goodyear and the new bridgestone https://uploads.disquscdn.c... https://uploads.disquscdn.c...
I think you'll be very happy, get a review on the site sometime with pictures :)
Hi, a key info is missing - what was the temperature during dry tests? (mostly dry braking). Thanks.
P.S. Next time maybe use a BYD vehicle - it shows the temperature of the tyre. Today outside is 18 and after 20km of highway driving it showed 34 degrees tyre temperature. It would be also some amazing thing to see - probably you will be the only one who does something like this ... to make a test after f.e. 50km of highway driving with "hot tyres" - f.e. while 7 degrees outside, after 50km of highway driving the tyre gets 18-20 degrees.
Imagine also how amazing it would be if you gave the info ... about the temperature of the tyre :)
Sadly, there is no notice of rim protection again.
I'm running the Bridgestone in 225/45 R17, those have protection.
Yes, I know. I'm running the Bridgestone myself in 235/35 R19. But I like to be informed, I need new tyres every two years because of leasing plus tyres for my wife's car.
Great review, as always! Due to size limitations, I can only get conti as2 in my sizes? My only alternative, in order to be able to have the best tyres, is cc3s on rear (255/40/18) and Pirelli sf3 on the front (225/45/18) - would this mix work and be safe? Is the increase in potential instability worth it for the gains in performance over the continental as2? My main concern on the as2 is the poor aquaplaning.
Is the aquaplaning something to be concerned about?
No, it's not a major concern for tyre selection - it is major for your driving style. A few things to consider.
(TLDR: slow the hell down in heavy rain and pay attention to the road surface; replace your tyres at 4mm).
One is that the test is conducted on a road surface with standing water for all 4 wheels, at a depth of of around 8mm. Real-world aquaplaning risks will differ from that, it can be 1mm standing water, or it can be 10 cm standing water on the road if it's flooded. Also, the car weight, distribution of weight, tyre size, and trajectory of the car will have just as much a significance if not more than the tyre make and model.
The second is that there is actually not a great amount of difference between already good tyres. Note that it's typically 5km/h, 10km/h at most. Also, note that they all converge around the 80 km/h mark. It's geometry and physics. That is holding true across tests, with minor variation.
The most important consideration in aquaplaning is your driving. Managing aquaplaning risk is really down to the driver, no amount of technology will save you from it. The key is selecting lower speeds, and moderating steering, throttle and braking inputs.
Pick your speed wisely, I'd say putting your speedo on 80km/h (50mph) nominal is a good reference point, real speed will be around 75km/h which (47 mph) should give you good protection against aquaplaning, and low enough to shed speed quickly just with engine braking, so should conditions be really adverse. Remember, kinetic energy is quadratic with speed, doing 110km/h / 70 mph instead carries about 2x the kinetic energy in the car as a moving object compared to 80km/h / 50mph.
If the car slips, don't brake, but always steer in the direction of travel, point the front wheels where you want to go, let them start rotating again. I do recommend taking your car with your new tyres to a driver training session with a skidpad to get a feel for it all.
Finally, don't run your tyres bald like all those cheap ignoramuses. They are a minor expense per mile compared to all the other expenses, fuel, insurance, and they keep you on the road - and alive.
so, the Pirelli confirms to be probably the best choice for all seanson tires.
I have to buy a new set for next winter and I'm not yet quite surwe about the choice.
I use summer tires for summer and AllSeasons or winter as even if I live in a region of north Italy where rarely snows is mandatory to have winter tires 6 months a year.
Needed size is 235/40 18.
I have had winter tires in the past but never be happy about wet grip specially starting from 2nd year of use (have had Yokohama, Michelin and Continental, all with same behaviour), so even if the tire was not worn I always had to change every 2 years (that it correspond to about 20K kilometers)
Last time I used Michelin CC2 hoping for best wet grip, but also in this case it was quite good the 1st year, so so on 2nd but very bad on the 3rd, it was very slippery on the roundabouts with all possible bad behaviours, sliding sometime on the front, on the rear or on both axes simultaneously.
During the warmer months they are stored inside the garage so never under direct sunlight, no humidity and with max 25/33 °C on hottest periods.
My choices are within Turanza AllSeasons , Conti AS2 and now also Pirelli SF3.
Most important things for me are wet performance and that the grip on wet remains good for at least 3 winter seasons, low noise is important too.
So could be the SF3 the good choice?
One thing to look into with Pirellis is rim protection. I had a set of SF2 and it had no rim protector at all, which exposed my wheels to curbing, and boy I took the offer to scratch and dent my wheels.
It's interesting what you write about CC2 losing performance by year 3, I wouldn't think it's wear with 20-30k kms...Because I run 30k a year, I change every 2 years, so cannot comment on it, but do recommend the Bridgestone, I'm running them currently in 225/45 R17 94V, and very pleased with them. About 20 months and 55k km in.
One of the more interesting points in the test is how good the PC7 is in the wet at 4C, beating all the other all season tyres.
This test said the crossover temperature was about 12C for wet:
https://www.tyrereviews.com/Tyre-Tests/2025-Summer-and-All-Season-Combined-Tyre-Test.htm
Your old test had it about 11-12C in the wet:
https://www.tyrereviews.com/Article/Summer-All-Season-and-Winter-Tyres-Tested-at-0c-15c.htm
Any thoughts?
It's seems like an above average summer compound to begin with. Personally, I think what matters is what happens to grip under 2C in wet, because it's not so much about where the crossover exactly is, but where is the cliff-edge for summers. It's just sudden, an because it happens so rarely in the UK, most people will not expect it. It's quite concerning to watch cars dart down the road at 60-70+ mph when near low dew point temperatures, like 0-2C. Jon speaks to this in the video under your second link.
