The Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 and the Michelin CrossClimate 2 are two of the top all-round tyres on the market. Both have been put through rigorous testing and have proved to be strong performers overall.
Replacing the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF2, the SF3 scored 96%, outperforming its predecessor and impressing critics with its excellent Aquaplaning - cross, Aquaplaning - longitudinal, and Snow handling properties. It secured the 1st position in Die Reifentester and ALVOLANTE tests and 2nd in the AUTOBILD test among 37 tyres. The Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 is noted for its dynamic handling qualities, direct steering response, and exemplary Aquaplaning properties. However, it has slightly extended snow braking and the highest wear resulting in the lowest overall value.
The Michelin CrossClimate2, made in Italy and Spain, earned a 93% rating, with strengths in Dry handling, Snow braking, and Snow handling. Positioning 2nd in Die Reifentester, Autobild and ALVOLANTE tests, it has drawn attention for good grip in the dry, high Aquaplaning resistance, and being the best in snow. It is quieter with the lowest rolling resistance on test. However, concerns about long wet braking and a high purchase price with average wear mean it's considered expensive per km by some users. Michelin has not revealed information about a newer model replacing this one yet.
Overall, the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 and the Michelin CrossClimate 2 stand out in their categories. Each tyre has unique strengths and minor drawbacks.
