Comparison: Michelin CrossClimate 2 vs. Bridgestone Weather Control A005 EVO vs. Hankook ION FlexClimate
Also compare with
In a mutual comparison between Michelin CrossClimate 2 and Bridgestone Weather Control A005 EVO, the French brand, Michelin emerges with an edge.
The Michelin CrossClimate 2, which replaces the previous CrossClimate model, gives an excellent performance with an overall rating of 96%. Made in Italy and Spain, the tyre shines particularly in the fields of dry braking, snow braking, handling, and traction, as noted in the Tyre Reviews. Its strengths according to Autoklub ČR and Autobild tests include snow acceleration, wet handling, exterior noise, and aquaplaning. However, a shortcoming emerges in the TyreReviews.com 2022 test in the form of understeer during wet grip tests - a factor to consider when weighing the merits of this tyre.
On the other hand, the Bridgestone Weather Control A005 EVO, manufactured in Hungary and Italy, presents a commendable contention in the all-round category with a rating of 75%. Several tests highlight its strengths in areas such as wet and dry grip, aquaplaning resistance, and particularly rolling resistance, where it came out on top in Tyre Reviews. Despite this, it does exhibit a significant weakness in the field of snow performance; it gave the longest braking, lowest traction, and most difficult handling lap in snow conditions, as shown in the TyreReviews.com 2022 analysis.
Comparing the tests positions, Michelin CrossClimate 2 took the first position in the Autoklub ČR and ARBÖ tests, while Bridgestone Weather Control A005 EVO lagged behind overall, with fifth place in the Autobild test, second place in Autoklub ČR and sixth place in ARBÖ.
In conclusion, while both the Michelin CrossClimate 2 and Bridgestone Weather Control A005 EVO offer noteworthy performance in various areas, the Michelin model appears to have a general advantage overall, demonstrated by the ratings and its handling of a greater variety of conditions. Particular consideration, though, should be given to specific requirements, such as wet grip or snow conditions, when choosing between these two tyres.
