Comparison: Michelin CrossClimate+ vs. Nokian WeatherProof vs. Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen-2

In this comparison, we are examining two all-season tyres: the Michelin CrossClimate+ and the Nokian WeatherProof. Both tyres come from renowned manufacturers, Michelin and Nokian, and are designed to provide solid performance throughout the year.


Michelin CrossClimate+
With an overall rating of 87%, the Michelin CrossClimate+ performs well in numerous tests. In the Autobild test, the tyre ranks 2nd out of 27 tyres, showcasing its strengths in dry braking, exterior noise, rolling resistance, dry handling, mileage, and price/value. AutoMotorSport gives it a 3rd place position, while ACE and Autoklub čR rank it at 6th and 4th, respectively.
Autobild 2020 praises the CrossClimate+ for its "premium all-season tyre with balanced performance in every weather condition, dynamic handling qualities, precise steering, high mileage, and low rolling resistance," but notes that it comes at a high price level.


Nokian WeatherProof
The Nokian WeatherProof scores an overall rating of 81%. In the Autobild test, it places 9th out of 27, with its best features being aquaplaning, cross rolling resistance, snow braking, snow handling, and snow traction. The ADAC test ranks the tyre at 4th place, highlighting snow braking and snow traction as its best points.
ADAC 2020 states that the WeatherProof tyre is "satisfactory on snow" but points out that it is "relatively loud" and "weak on dry road surfaces."
ACE and AutoMotorSport rank the Nokian tyre at 4th and 6th place, respectively, with Autoklub čR giving it a strong 2nd place position.


Conclusion
Based on various tests and reviews, both the Michelin CrossClimate+ and Nokian WeatherProof are good all-season tyres. However, the Michelin tyre performs better overall, particularly in dry conditions, handling, and mileage. Its only downside is its higher price point. The Nokian WeatherProof offers a strong performance in snow and aquaplaning, but it is somewhat weak on dry roads and has a higher noise level.
Ultimately, the choice between these two tyres will depend on your specific needs, driving conditions, and budget. If you are looking for a well-rounded all-season tyre with excellent dry performance, the Michelin CrossClimate+ could be the right choice. If you value snow and wet road handling with a more budget-friendly price, the Nokian WeatherProof may be a better fit.
