Continental AllSeasonContact 2
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.

Michelin CrossClimate 2
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
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.

Falken EuroAll Season AS210
There aren't many well-rated all season tyres on the market, which makes the AS210 quite unique as it was recommended in all tests it was featured in. It could be better on snow but other than that, it's a very good tire.

Did you know ...?
255/45 R18 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 - 45 is height of the tyre, which is calculated as 45% of the tyre width (255mm), which means the sidewall height has 114.75 mm. The wheel diameter is R18, which means it fits to a 18 inch/457.2mm diameter wheel. The total circumference of the tyre is 2157.33 mm, which is very similar to 255/40 R19(2157.02 mm), 255/35 R20(2156.7 mm), 215/65 R16(2154.82 mm), 225/45 R19(2152.31 mm), 295/30 R20(2151.99 mm), 235/60 R16(2162.67 mm), 295/35 R19(2164.87 mm).
