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

Hankook Kinergy 4S2 H750
Hankook's allseason tyre leans towards snow performance. It's really good in preventing longitudinal aquaplaning and it's also very quiet.
- Very good aquaplaning resistance
- Great handling on snow
- Short braking distance on dry roads
- Short braking distance on snow
- Short braking distance on wet roads

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

Falken EuroAll Season AS210
There aren't many well-rated all season tyres on the market, which makes the AS210 quite unique as it was recommended in all tests it was featured in. It could be better on snow but other than that, it's a very good tire.
- Very good aquaplaning resistance
- Short braking distance on snow
- Exceptional mileage
- Good value for the money
- High rolling resistance/high fuel consumption
- Inferior handling on snow

Firestone Multiseason 2
To do a good allseason tyre on a budget is difficult and Multiseason 2 is the proof of this. It's really good on snow, but lacks some of the wet safety that the premium models have.
- Short braking distance on snow
- Exceptional traction on snow
- Below average aquaplaning resistance
- Inferior handling on snow
- Poor handling on the wet

Did you know ...?
205/65 R15 doesn't belong to the most popular dimensions for allround tyres - there are 17 tyre models available, which can be compared to 205/40 R18, 190/50 R17, 205/75 R16. Let's break down the sizing - 65 is height of the tyre, which is calculated as 65% of the tyre width (205mm), which means the sidewall height has 133.25 mm. The wheel diameter is R15, which means it fits to a 15 inch/381mm diameter wheel. The total circumference of the tyre is 2034.18 mm, which is very similar to 275/30 R19(2034.5 mm), 180/60 R17(2035.12 mm), 235/35 R19(2032.92 mm), 215/50 R17(2031.98 mm), 235/30 R20(2038.89 mm), 160/60 R18(2039.52 mm), 275/35 R18(2041.09 mm). There are multiple speed indexes available for allround tyres in 205/65 R15: H(210km/h), T(190km/h), V(240km/h). The same goes for weight indexes: 94, 99, 102. You can find 205/65 R15 on 43 car models - mainly CITROËN, Peugeot, Mitsubishi, Toyota, Volvo.
