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

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

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

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
