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

Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3
The new Pirelli all-season tire really impressed us! It’s the first all-season tire that feels safe in all conditions including snow while also letting drivers enjoy a spirited drive. The handling and steering feedback on dry roads is fantastic, comparable to a summer tire.
- Exceptional handling on the wet
- Very good aquaplaning resistance
- Short braking distance on dry roads
- Great handling on dry roads
- Exceptional traction on snow

Michelin CrossClimate 2
Crossclimate is now almost a synonym for a allseason tyre and it's second generation is even better than the first one. It's great on snow and dry, while having a superb rolling 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

- 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

Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF2
An allrounder from Pirelli doesn't quite match the CrossClimate and AllseasonContact models, but overall is a good tyre with it's performance being quite dependent on the tested size.
- Low drive-by noise levels
- Short braking distance on dry roads
- Great handling on dry roads
- Very good aquaplaning resistance

Dunlop Sport All Season
We have mixed feelings about Dunlop's latest addition to the allseason tyre market. It has an asymmetric pattern, which is something we rarely see on winter and allseason tyres. While it has good dynamic handling on both wet and dry, it tends to understeer on snow and is one of the worst on ice. It's mileage isn't great, either.
- Exceptional handling on the wet
- Great handling on dry roads
- Inferior handling on snow
- Bad value for the money
- Poor handling on snow
- Longer braking distance on dry roads
- 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 ...?
215/55 R18 doesn't belong to the most popular dimensions for allround tyres - there are 8 tyre models available, which can be compared to 160/70 R17, 205/40 R17, 195/40 R17. Let's break down the sizing - 55 is height of the tyre, which is calculated as 55% of the tyre width (215mm), which means the sidewall height has 118.25 mm. The wheel diameter is R18, which means it fits to a 18 inch/457.2mm diameter wheel. The total circumference of the tyre is 2179.32 mm, which is very similar to 265/35 R20(2178.69 mm), 235/45 R19(2180.58 mm), 195/80 R15(2177.12 mm), 265/40 R19(2182.15 mm), 265/30 R21(2175.24 mm), 235/50 R18(2174.61 mm), 265/45 R18(2185.61 mm). There are multiple speed indexes available for allround tyres in 215/55 R18: H(210km/h), V(240km/h). The same goes for weight indexes: 95, 99. You can find 215/55 R18 on 16 car models - mainly Mazda, Nissan, Dodge, DS Automobiles, Chrysler.
