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

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.
