Continental AllSeasonContact 2
We had high expectations of the new all season Continental and it certainly didn't disappoint. It leans a bit towards mileage, which is a great strategy considering all season tyres are not usually used for sporty driving.
- Exceptional handling on the wet
- Great handling on snow
- Short braking distance on wet roads
- Low drive-by noise levels
- Low rolling resistance/low fuel consumption
- Below average aquaplaning resistance

- Exceptional traction on snow
- Short braking distance on dry roads
- Short braking distance on snow
- Very good aquaplaning resistance
- Low rolling resistance/low fuel consumption
- Bad value for the money

Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6
The Turanza All Season 6 may be a little late to the all-season tyre market, but it is very well balanced and excels in mileage and wet performance, while sacrifying little bit of snow performance.
- Exceptional handling on the wet
- Short braking distance on wet roads
- Short braking distance on dry roads
- Great handling on dry roads
- Very good aquaplaning resistance
- High rolling resistance/high fuel consumption

Kleber Quadraxer 3
Kleber is our favorite budget allseason tyre. Why? If you look just at the tread, you wouldn't tell it apart from the great Michelin CrossClimate 2. But it's not a cheap knockoff, Kleber is actually owned by Michelin and while the performance is understandably not exactly the same, the compromise is on rolling resistance and sportiness, not safety. If you're looking for a non-premium allseason tyre, this is the one.
- Very good aquaplaning resistance
- Great handling on snow
- Short braking distance on dry roads
- Short braking distance on snow
- Exceptional traction on snow
- Poor handling on the wet
- Low mileage

Did you know ...?
185/50 R16 doesn't belong to the most popular dimensions for allround tyres - there are 2 tyre models available, which can be compared to 155/60 R15, 170/60 R17, 160/60 R14. Let's break down the sizing - 50 is height of the tyre, which is calculated as 50% of the tyre width (185mm), which means the sidewall height has 92.5 mm. The wheel diameter is R16, which means it fits to a 16 inch/406.4mm diameter wheel. The total circumference of the tyre is 1857.94 mm, which is very similar to 175/60 R15(1856.68 mm), 205/45 R16(1856.37 mm), 195/60 R14(1852.28 mm), 165/80 R13(1866.73 mm), 195/40 R17(1846.63 mm), 195/55 R15(1870.82 mm), 165/65 R15(1870.82 mm). There are multiple speed indexes available for allround tyres in 185/50 R16: H(210km/h), V(240km/h). The same goes for weight indexes: 81.
