Every year, the German publication Auto Bild selects a tyre size, finds as many all season tyres as possible in that size, and tests them all in dry and wet braking, with the top 14 tyres proceeding to the full all season tyre test.

For the 2020 all season tyre test, Auto Bild rounded up 34 all season tyres in the common 205/55 R16 size, and a summer and winter tyre as reference.

This is the best overview of the all season tyre market we will get all year, and make sure you come back to Tyre Reviews tomorrow for the full test, where the top 14 will be put through a full range of dry, wet and snow testing.
