Comparison: Ceat 4 SeasonDrive vs. Michelin CrossClimate 2 vs. GT RADIAL ClimateActive

Our tyre comparison today is between the Ceat 4 SeasonDrive, made in India by CEAT, and the Michelin CrossClimate 2, a tyre produced in Italy and Spain by Michelin. Both tyres are in the all-around category, designed to provide balanced performance in different road conditions throughout the year.


The Ceat 4 SeasonDrive has been rated at 33% by our experts. An inexpensive option, this tyre offers good mileage and quiet rolling noise, as highlighted in Autobild 2019 and 2023 tests. However, its limitations surface in winter conditions, with reduced snow traction and longer wet braking distances.


On the other hand, The Michelin CrossClimate 2 greatly outperforms its Indian counterpart with a stellar 95% rating from our team. This successor to the Michelin CrossClimate particularly excels in winter conditions, demonstrating strong snow handling and cornering. It also boasts superior dry braking and exterior noise properties, as demonstrated in Autobild 2023 and 2022 tests. Still, its more expensive price tag and merely satisfactory economy in the 2022 test can be considered as downsides.


In Autobild tests, the Ceat 4 SeasonDrive placed a disappointing 34th out of 35 tyres. This contrasts greatly with the Michelin CrossClimate 2, which found itself impressive 3rd position, notable for its exceptional winter and dry handling properties.


Based on the test results and data comparison, we can say that the Michelin CrossClimate 2, demonstrating exceptional performance in most areas, is the superior tyre. However, users who value a quieter ride and are not particularly driving in demanding winter conditions might find the inexpensive Ceat 4 SeasonDrive suitable for their needs.


Overall, the Michelin CrossClimate 2 is a top-performing all-season tyre offering excellent snow and dry handling characteristics. On the other hand, the Ceat 4 SeasonDrive, despite its limitations in winter conditions, may still be a worthy choice for those seeking good mileage and quiet road noise at a more affordable price point.
