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
Michelin CrossClimate 2 – Strengths: exceptional snow traction and handling, low rolling resistance (good for fuel economy), very low noise and overall balanced performance. Weaknesses: occasional longer wet braking distances in some tests and a higher purchase price with average wear that makes cost per kilometre relatively high.
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?
Across multiple independent tests the Michelin CrossClimate 2 often wins or ranks highest for winter capability, low roll resistance and noise—giving it the edge as the better all‑season tyre for drivers prioritising snow performance and fuel efficiency. The CrossClimate 2’s higher overall score (92% vs 90%) and frequent top placements on snow metrics tip the balance.
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.
Verdict
If you need the best possible performance in snow, low rolling resistance and low noise, choose the Michelin CrossClimate 2. If your priorities are wet braking, aquaplaning resistance and a comfortable, predictable ride across mixed conditions, the Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 is a superb choice. Both tyres are top contenders—Michelin narrowly leads overall, Bridgestone is the close runner‑up.
