Expert summary

Crossclimate is now almost a synonym for a allseason tyre and it's second generation is even better than the first one. It's great on snow and dry, while having a superb rolling resistance.

Expert summary

The Dutch brand Vredestein has always been a customer favorite, perhaps for being the underdog compared to premium German manufacturers. When it comes to all-season tires, the Quatrac is excellent, offering above-average wet performance while sacrificing a bit of snow performance, making it ideal for Central European climates.

Expert summary

The Turanza All Season 6 may be a little late to the all-season tyre market, but it is very well balanced and excels in mileage and wet performance, while sacrifying little bit of snow performance.

Expert summary

We had high expectations of the new all season Continental and it certainly didn't disappoint. It leans a bit towards mileage, which is a great strategy considering all season tyres are not usually used for sporty driving.

Hankook's allseason tyre leans towards snow performance. It's really good in preventing longitudinal aquaplaning and it's also very quiet.

Expert summary

Kleber is our favorite budget allseason tyre. Why? If you look just at the tread, you wouldn't tell it apart from the great Michelin CrossClimate 2. But it's not a cheap knockoff, Kleber is actually owned by Michelin and while the performance is understandably not exactly the same, the compromise is on rolling resistance and sportiness, not safety. If you're looking for a non-premium allseason tyre, this is the one.

Top brands in 185/50 R16

Did you know ...?

185/50 R16 doesn't belong to the most popular dimensions for allround tyres - there are 2 tyre models available, which can be compared to 155/60 R15, 170/60 R17, 160/60 R14. Let's break down the sizing - 50 is height of the tyre, which is calculated as 50% of the tyre width (185mm), which means the sidewall height has 92.5 mm. The wheel diameter is R16, which means it fits to a 16 inch/406.4mm diameter wheel. The total circumference of the tyre is 1857.94 mm, which is very similar to 175/60 R15(1856.68 mm), 205/45 R16(1856.37 mm), 195/60 R14(1852.28 mm), 165/80 R13(1866.73 mm), 195/40 R17(1846.63 mm), 195/55 R15(1870.82 mm), 165/65 R15(1870.82 mm). There are multiple speed indexes available for allround tyres in 185/50 R16: H(210km/h), V(240km/h). The same goes for weight indexes: 81, 85.
