Comparison: Michelin CrossClimate+ vs. Continental AllSeasonContact vs. Nexen N Blue 4 Season vs. Nokian WeatherProof vs. GoodYear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3
Here we will be comparing two all-round tyres, the Michelin CrossClimate+ and the Continental AllSeasonContact. Both tyres are highly rated, with our rating standing at 71% for the Michelin tyre and 76% for the Continental tyre.
Comparing test positions across various platforms, the Michelin CrossClimate+ performs best for comfort, snow traction, dry braking, exterior noise, and price/value according to Autobild, and shows excellent dry handling according to Autoklub. However, it falls behind the Continental AllSeasonContact in most joint tests and ranks 12th in the Használtautó.hu's test with a total of 16 tyres.
The Continental AllSeasonContact, on the other hand, ranks higher in mutual tests overall and shines for its snow braking, snow cornering, rolling resistance, and aquaplaning features, according to Autobild. It also ranks first in the Autoklub and AutoMotorSport tests and 5th in the Autobild test with a total of 27 tyres.
Specially noticed should be the AllSeasonContact's superior performance in tests analyzing aquaplaning characteristics, snow handling, and fuel efficiency. ADAC test results indicate that the Continental AllSeasonContact performs relatively well on wet surfaces and satisfactorily on snow but has some weaknesses when it comes to dry surfaces.
As for the Michelin CrossClimate+, despite falling behind in some tests, it upholds its reputation for providing a balanced high-performance potential, excellent snow traction, precise steering, and short breaking on wet surfaces. It offers high mileage and features a relatively low rolling resistance according to Autobild, although it demonstrates slight weaknesses in curve aquaplaning.
In conclusion, if you are looking for superior snow and aquaplaning performance and are willing to compromise on dry surface handling, the Continental AllSeasonContact could be the tyre of choice. However, if you value comfortable drive, high mileage, and efficient dry handling, you might want to consider the Michelin CrossClimate+.
Please note, when making your final choice, consider the specific demands of your vehicle and your individual driving needs.
