Comparison: Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF2 vs. Bridgestone Weather Control A005 EVO

Today, we compare two tyres: Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF2 and Bridgestone Weather Control A005 EVO. Both tyres are designed for all-round use and are known for their performance in varying weather conditions.

Starting with the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF2, this model produced in Romania has a decent rating of 69%. It stands out with the best performance for rolling resistance and exterior noise. However, its weakness lies in snow and wet grip in handling and braking, with users noticing limited grip in such conditions.

Moving on to the Bridgestone Weather Control A005 EVO - a model manufactured in Hungary and Italy holds a higher rating with 75%. Like the Pirelli, it also shines in rolling resistance. Further, it excels in grip in wet and dry requirements as well as in aquaplaning resistance. Its major setback is its extremely limited snow performance, notably in braking, traction and handling. Its internal noise is also higher compared to other tyres.

In mutual tests, the Bridgestone Weather Control A005 EVO outperforms the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF2. For instance, in the Autoklub ČR test, the Bridgestone tyre secured the 2nd position, while the Pirelli tyre was at 4th. The trend was similar in the Autobild test, where the Bridgestone's position was 5th, and the Pirelli stood at 7th out of 10.

In summary, if snow is rarely a condition you drive in, the Bridgestone Weather Control A005 EVO could be a good option due to its excellent wet and dry grip and low rolling resistance. However, for drivers who frequently encounter snow, or desire a quieter ride, the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF2 might be a more suitable tyre choice.
