Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3

4.75/5

The new Pirelli all-season tire really impressed us! It’s the first all-season tire that feels safe in all conditions including snow while also letting drivers enjoy a spirited drive. The handling and steering feedback on dry roads is fantastic, comparable to a summer tire.

Michelin CrossClimate 2

4.55/5

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.

Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6

4.5/5

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.

Continental AllSeasonContact 2

4.4/5

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 Kinergy 4S2 H750

4.35/5

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

Kleber Quadraxer 3

3.95/5

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.
