Michelin CrossClimate 2 — Verdict
The CrossClimate 2 is the more winter‑oriented all‑season tyre in this pair. Test suites repeatedly highlight its superior snow traction, snow handling and short braking distances on ice/snow. Additional strengths are very low rolling resistance (fuel economy benefits) and among the lowest noise levels in comparative tests. Weaknesses reported across tests include occasional longer wet braking distances and minor aquaplaning limitations versus the Turanza. Overall the CrossClimate 2 is the better choice if you need best‑in‑class winter safety and fuel savings. More details: Michelin manufacturer.
Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 — Verdict
The Turanza AS6 is tuned toward excellent year‑round comfort and strong performance in wet and dry conditions. Tests praise its wet braking, aquaplaning resistance, dry handling and ride comfort, and several test reports call it the best‑in‑class for comfort and balanced wet/dry performance. Its snow performance is solid but generally a notch below the CrossClimate 2 — still far better than a summer tyre. Reported drawbacks include slightly weaker snow grip and average rolling resistance compared with Michelin. The Turanza represents an excellent choice when wet performance, comfort and value matter.

If you prioritise comfort, wet‑weather performance and balanced everyday handling, the Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 is the stronger, more comfortable all‑round option.
