Also compare with
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 Neither model has been replaced by a newer generation to date.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.
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.
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.
