2024 All Season Tyre Market Overview

The 2024 Autobild All Season tyre test tested 37 premium touring all-season tyres in the 225/50 R17 size, focusing on dry and wet braking performance. The test reveals a significant performance gap between the top and bottom performers, especially in wet conditions. The Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 emerged as the standout performer, excelling in both dry and wet braking tests. It was closely followed by the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 and Continental AllSeasonContact 2. The test highlighted that while many tyres performed adequately in dry conditions, wet performance varied dramatically, with some budget options showing alarming results. This overview serves as a preliminary assessment, with top performers likely to advance to more comprehensive testing.

Dry

The dry braking test, measuring the distance required to stop from 100 km/h to 0, revealed relatively close performance among many tyres. The Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 led the pack with an impressive 36.8-meter stopping distance. Close behind were the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 at 36.9 meters and the Michelin CrossClimate 2 at 37.9 meters. Most tyres clustered between 40 and 43 meters, showing generally good dry performance across the board. However, there was a noticeable drop-off towards the bottom of the rankings, with the RoadX RXMOTION 4S requiring 45.4 meters to stop, demonstrating a significant 8.6-meter difference from the top performer. This range indicates that while many all-season tyres offer competent dry braking, there's still an advantage in choosing premium tyres.

Wet

The wet braking test, measuring stopping distance from 80 km/h to 0, exposed much more dramatic differences between tyres. The Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 again led the field with an impressive 50.5-meter stopping distance. The Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 and Continental AllSeasonContact 2 followed closely at 53.5 and 53.6 meters respectively. However, the performance drop-off was much more pronounced in wet conditions. Mid-range tyres required around 60-65 meters to stop, while the poorest performers needed over 70 meters. The worst-performing tyre, the Royal Black Royal AS II, took an alarming 82.1 meters to stop - over 30 meters more than the best performer. This test clearly demonstrates the critical importance of wet performance in all-season tyres and the potential safety implications of choosing lower-quality options.
