In this text, we will compare two tyres: the Firestone Multiseason 2 and the Yokohama BluEarth-4S AW21. These tyres are products of Firestone and Yokohama, respectively.
The Firestone Multiseason 2 is a made-in-Italy winter tyre that has garnered a favourable rating of 60% in our ranking. It has shown exemplary performance in testing from ADAC, securing the 8th position out of 16 tested tyres. AutoBild 2020 praised its good traction and short braking distances on snow, dynamic wet handling, short dry braking distances, high mileage potential and very good common-ratio pricing. However, it does have some limitations, namely moderate safety reserves when aquaplaning. This model continues to impress in Autobild securing the 6th position among 32 tyres, with highlighted features including low rolling resistance, price-value ratio and snow traction.
On the other hand, the Yokohama BluEarth-4S AW21 is an all-round tyre that unfortunately scores relatively low with a rating of 31% on our website. In the ADAC test, it managed to secure the 14th position out of 16 total tyres. The AutoBild 2020 review pointed out some of its strengths, such as its good braking performance on snow. However, it also highlighted several significant weaknesses, including subpar performance on dry roadways, wet road issues, reduced performance on wintery roads, predicted operational lifespan, heavy wear and a very high weight.
Overall, when compared head to head in mutual test situations, the Firestone Multiseason 2 consistently outperforms the Yokohama BluEarth-4S AW21. Hence, if you are seeking a tyre with good traction on snow, excellent wet handling, and high mileage potential, we recommend considering the Firestone Multiseason 2. The Yokohama BluEarth-4S AW21 might be suitable for those seeking an all-round tyre with good braking performance on snow, but one should be aware of its noted shortcomings.
