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

Michelin CrossClimate 2 SUV
The SUV version of the legendary CrossClimate, now in its second generation, continues to impress with its performance on snow and dry roads while offering excellent aquaplaning resistance. As always, the main drawback is its higher price.

- 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.

- Short braking distance on snow

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

Did you know ...?
225/50 R18 doesn't belong to the most popular dimensions for allround tyres - there are 0 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 (225mm), which means the sidewall height has 112.5 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 2143.19 mm, which is very similar to 285/35 R19(2142.88 mm), 215/70 R15(2142.57 mm), 185/75 R16(2148.54 mm), 245/35 R20(2134.71 mm), 195/70 R16(2134.4 mm), 295/30 R20(2151.99 mm), 225/55 R17(2134.08 mm).
