Comparison: Ceat 4 SeasonDrive vs. Firestone Multiseason 2 vs. Bridgestone Weather Control A005 EVO vs. Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF2

The comparison below reviews two budget-friendly multi/season tyres tested by AutoBild and our lab: the Ceat 4 SeasonDrive (our rating: 63%) and the Firestone Multiseason 2 (our rating: 55%). Neither model has been replaced by a newer generation to date. Manufacturer pages: Ceat and Firestone.



Summary of test results


In the AutoBild comparative test (35 tyres), the two tyres ranked very differently: Firestone Multiseason 2 placed 9th, while the Ceat 4 SeasonDrive landed 34th of 35. Firestone scored particularly well for rolling resistance and braking on wet/snow in AutoBild, while Ceat was repeatedly noted for value, low noise and long mileage but flagged for limited winter performance and weakened wet braking.



Ceat 4 SeasonDrive — strengths & weaknesses


The Ceat 4 SeasonDrive stands out for price-conscious drivers: tests repeatedly highlight good mileage, a quiet ride and an attractive price point. Those characteristics likely explain its higher overall internal rating (63%) despite weaker test placements.

  • Strengths: long tread life; low rolling noise; very competitive price.

  • Weaknesses: limited winter capability with poor lateral guidance on snow and extended braking distances on wet surfaces. In AutoBild it finished near the bottom (34/35), driven down by the wet and snow handling deficits.


Verdict: Ceat is a sensible budget all-round tyre for drivers prioritising mileage, comfort and cost — but be aware of its compromised safety margins in wet and wintry conditions.



Firestone Multiseason 2 — strengths & weaknesses


Firestone’s Multiseason 2 scored better in comparative test position and was praised for its braking performance and efficiency: AutoBild highlights short snow and wet braking distances, high mileage and low rolling resistance. However, it is not without trade-offs.

  • Strengths: excellent rolling resistance (fuel-saving), strong wet and snow braking in test conditions, good mileage.

  • Weaknesses: only moderate lateral guidance on snow, limited safety reserves in curve aquaplaning and a somewhat longer dry braking distance.


Verdict: Overall, Firestone is the stronger performer in independent comparative tests — a superior choice if wet and snow braking and efficiency matter most, but expect modest compromises on dry handling precision.



Head-to-head conclusion


Which tyre is better in tests overall? Based on AutoBild positions and test notes, the Firestone Multiseason 2 outperforms the Ceat 4 SeasonDrive in core safety-relevant areas (wet and snow braking, rolling resistance) and placed much higher in the 35-tyre AutoBild field (9 vs 34). That said, our aggregated rating still gives Ceat a higher score (63% vs 55%) due to its strong points in noise, cost and mileage—factors that matter to many buyers.
Recommendation: choose Firestone Multiseason 2 if you prioritise test-proven braking performance and fuel efficiency; choose Ceat 4 SeasonDrive if you prioritise value, quietness and longevity but accept weaker wet/winter performance. For manufacturer details visit Ceat and Firestone.
