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

Vredestein Quatrac
The Dutch brand Vredestein has always been a customer favorite, perhaps for being the underdog compared to premium German manufacturers. When it comes to all-season tires, the Quatrac is excellent, offering above-average wet performance while sacrificing a bit of snow performance, making it ideal for Central European climates.
- Exceptional handling on the wet
- Very good aquaplaning resistance
- Short braking distance on wet roads
- Short braking distance on dry roads
- Low drive-by noise levels

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.

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.

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.

- Exceptional mileage
- Good value for the money
- High rolling resistance/high fuel consumption

- Below average aquaplaning resistance
