Model lineage: The SF3 is the successor to the Cinturato All Season SF2 and brings clear upgrades in wet and aquaplaning resistance; the Turanza All Season 6 is a current Bridgestone all‑season offering with no direct successor listed.

Summary of test results

• Pirelli SF3 dominated a number of comparative tests (Autobild, Autoexpress, Die Reifentester, TyreReviews), frequently finishing in the top position. Test highlights repeatedly cite excellent aquaplaning resistance (longitudinal and cross), very strong wet braking and handling, and strong snow traction. Dry handling and braking are also top‑class.


• Bridgestone Turanza AS6 scores very well for comfort, low noise and rolling resistance, with consistently good dry and wet handling across tests. It appears often in the top half of test fields and reached first place in at least one large AUTOBILD comparison. Several testers praise its value and wear characteristics.

Strengths & weaknesses

Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3

• Strengths: Best all‑round wet performance, exceptional aquaplaning resistance, strong snow traction/handling and class‑leading dry braking. Many independent tests place it as the benchmark for safety in wet and mixed conditions.


• Weaknesses: Slightly higher price point and some reports of higher wear (TyreReviews noted faster wear affecting overall value). In a few snow comparisons it is marginally behind the very best winter‑special tyres.

Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6

• Strengths: Outstanding ride comfort and low noise, good balance in dry and wet handling, low wear and attractive price/value. Performs predictably and safely in aquaplaning and wet handling in many tests.


• Weaknesses: Not as strong as the SF3 in deep wet braking and snow grip—tests often show slightly longer wet braking distances and reduced snow performance compared with the SF3 and other top all‑season tyres.

Which tyre is better overall?

Across the test matrix the Pirelli SF3 emerges as the overall performance leader thanks to more frequent top positions and superior wet/aquaplaning and snow results. The Bridgestone Turanza AS6 is a very close contender where comfort, wear and value matter most, and it can outperform rivals in specific AUTOBILD and regional comparisons.

Verdict: Choose the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 if you prioritise maximum wet safety, aquaplaning resistance and the best all‑weather handling. Choose the Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 if your priorities are comfort, low noise, long wear and value while still keeping very good wet and dry performance.
