Comparison: Firestone Multiseason 2 vs. Bridgestone Weather Control A005 EVO vs. Michelin CrossClimate 2 vs. GT RADIAL ClimateActive

The Firestone Multiseason 2 and Bridgestone Weather Control A005 EVO are two high-performing tyres sourced from respected manufacturers Firestone and Bridgestone, respectively. While both are of excellent quality, there are noticeable differences between the two that potential buyers should be aware of.


The Firestone Multiseason 2, made in Italy, scores a rating of 63% on our scale. It has strong brakes, both in the snow and when roads are wet. Nonetheless, it comes with a few weaknesses such as limited grip on snow and insufficient buffer during aquaplaning in curves. Dry braking distances are also on the longer side. However, it offers a high mileage and low rolling resistance, and was ranked 6th out of 10 in the Autoklub ČR test and 16th out of 32 in the Autobild test.


On the other hand, the Bridgestone Weather Control A005 EVO, produced in Hungary and Italy, stands out with our rating of 71%. Its wet braking, comfort, and dry handling are some of its best features and are highly praised in Autobild's testing. It secures impressive positions of 2nd out of 10 in the Autoklub ČR test and 8th out of 32 in Autobild's comparative evaluations. However, there are a few criticisms, such as less satisfactory driving qualities on snow and ice, delayed steering response, understeering snow handling, and average mileage.


In conclusion, the Bridgestone Weather Control A005 EVO seems to outperform the Firestone Multiseason 2, especially when driving in wet conditions. However, the Firestone Multiseason 2 provides good value with its high mileage and low rolling resistance. Your choice ultimately depends on your driving conditions and preferences.
