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

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.

Falken EuroAll Season AS210

- 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 ...?
255/55 R18 doesn't belong to the most popular dimensions for allround tyres - there are 9 tyre models available, which can be compared to 165/80 R13, 155/70 R19, 155/80 R13. Let's break down the sizing - 55 is height of the tyre, which is calculated as 55% of the tyre width (255mm), which means the sidewall height has 140.25 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 2317.55 mm, which is very similar to 255/50 R19(2317.24 mm), 255/60 R17(2317.87 mm), 255/65 R16(2318.18 mm), 255/45 R20(2316.92 mm), 255/40 R21(2316.61 mm), 255/70 R15(2318.5 mm), 235/65 R17(2316.3 mm).
