Autobild are at it again, with the best SUV / mild 4x4 summer tyre test you'll see all year (Tyre Reviews sadly isn't doing one)! The German publication have tested ten leading SUV tyres in the popular 235/55 R18 tyre size using a VW Tiguan, and have managed to test the tyres in the usual range of tests covering the dry and wet performance of the tyres, but also test them on grass, dirt, gravel and even sand!

To add even more awesomeness Autobild included the multiple award winning Goodyear Vector 4Season Gen 3 all season tyre. There's been a number of driver reviews on Tyre Reviews claiming that an all season tyre is actually pretty cabible in certain offroad conditions, and now we get to see!

How do All Season Tyres Perform Off-Road?

We've seen plenty of all season tyre tests with a summer tyre as a reference, so it will be no surprise that the all season tyre struggled in the dry, especially dry braking where the sipes and soft compound needed for snow performance really struggle.

It was a similar story in the wet, although the all season tyre did have excellent aquaplaning resistance. The exciting new data comes from the off-road testing.

The all season tyre performed well in gravel traction, but not so well in gravel handling, but it didn't have a disastrous performance in either test. It did seem to struggle in mud, but having tried mud testing previously, mud is very unreliable to test properly.

Where the all season tyre did excel is on grass and especially in sand, where the tyre had a huge advantage over the summer tyres. Obviously the directional tread pattern and siping work well on both those surfaces.

This is good data for people in the UK who tow things like horseboxes in fields, but there's probably a limited use case for sand!

AutoBild summed up the Goodyear Vector 4Season Gen-3 as:

Strengths: Legally approved for winter use, high traction on grass, gravel and sand, good safety reserves for aquaplaning, low rolling resistance.

Weaknesses: Understeering wet performance and dry runway, delayed steering response, extended Wet and dry braking distances, high price level.

Once again, thank you to AutoBild for performing such interesting tests each year!

Onto the results of the summer SUV / 4x4 tyres.

Dry

The Falken Azenis FK510 SUV was the best tyre in both dry tests with sharp handling and good grip. It was however a very close group amongst the top six sets of tyres!

Dry Braking

1Falken FK510 SUV	34.4 m	Best	0 km/h
2Michelin Primacy 4	34.8 m	+0.40 m	14 km/h

7Goodyear EfficientGrip 2 SUV	35.4 m	+1.00 m	22 km/h
8General Grabber GT Plus	35.7 m	+1.30 m	25 km/h
9Pirelli Scorpion Verde	36.8 m	+2.40 m	33 km/h
10Imperial EcoSport SUV	37.7 m	+3.30 m	38 km/h
RefReference All Season	40.7 m	+6.30 m	51 km/h

The difference between best and worst was 18.3% (6.3 m ≈ 1.4 Car Lengths). From 130 km/h, the Imperial EcoSport SUV would still be travelling at 38 km/h when the Falken FK510 SUV had stopped.

Residual speed is calculated from the measured braking distances, assuming constant deceleration; it is not a separate measurement.

The Hankook Ventus S1 Evo3 SUV was second best overall in both braking and handling.

Set my vehicle consumption

Estimates based on typical driving conditions. Rolling resistance accounts for approximately 20% of IC vehicle fuel consumption and 25% of EV energy consumption. Actual savings vary based on driving style, vehicle weight, road conditions, and tyre age. For comparative purposes only. Lifetime savings based on a 40,000km / 25,000 mile tread life.

But the michelin was also the most expensive tyre by a large margin.
