Comparison: Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 vs. Michelin CrossClimate 2 vs. Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF2 vs. Vredestein Quatrac

Head-to-head: Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 vs Michelin CrossClimate 2

Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 (tyre page) and Michelin CrossClimate 2 (tyre page) are two leading all‑season tyres tested extensively by major magazines. Both remain current models (no newer replacement listed) and are offered by established manufacturers: Bridgestone and Michelin.

Overall test scores and ranking: Michelin holds a slight edge with a 92% overall score versus Bridgestone’s 90%. Test results across publications are mixed but consistent in theme: Michelin usually tops snow and low‑rolling‑resistance metrics, while Bridgestone frequently excels in wet/dry braking, aquaplaning resistance and ride comfort.

Summary of test data

• Autobild (16 tyres): Michelin = 1st (dominant on snow traction/handling and comfort); Bridgestone = 3rd (strong wet braking).


• Autobild (37 tyres): Bridgestone = 1st (excellent aquaplaning, wet circle cornering, dry braking and comfort); Michelin = 4th (very good snow performance, rolling resistance).


• Die Reifentester / SPORTAUTO / AlVolante: both tyres score high, often within the top 4; sometimes tied (Die Reifentester both 2nd).


• Independent summaries (Autobild 2023–2025, TyreReviews): Michelin repeatedly praised as a “winter pro” with best‑in‑class snow grip, low noise and low roll resistance; Bridgestone is highlighted for balanced behaviour, low noise, comfort and strong wet/dry braking.

Strengths & weaknesses

Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 – Strengths: outstanding aquaplaning resistance, short wet and dry braking distances, comfortable and quiet ride, and very balanced wet/dry behaviour. Weaknesses: somewhat weaker snow grip compared with the CrossClimate 2 (though still far better than a summer tyre) and occasional modest curve aquaplaning in some tests.

Which tyre performs better overall?

That said, the Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 is extremely competitive and sometimes outperforms Michelin in wet braking, aquaplaning and comfort tests. For drivers who prioritise wet/dry braking, ride comfort and a slightly lower running cost, the Turanza AS6 is an excellent, closely matched alternative.
