The Michelin Surprise

The tyre industry typically expects Michelin to dominate all-season tyre tests, making the CrossClimate 3's performance particularly noteworthy. Michelin took an innovative approach this year, introducing two distinct variants: the standard CrossClimate 3 and the CrossClimate 3 Sport.

The standard CrossClimate 3 excelled in snow conditions, actually outperforming all other all-season tyres in winter testing. It achieved the best scores in snow handling (54.0 km/h average speed), snow braking (22.3m from 50 km/h), and snow traction (2992 N). However, this winter focus came at a cost - the tyre showed notable weaknesses in wet conditions, particularly in handling and on the wet circle track, finishing only 7th overall.

The CrossClimate 3 Sport performed better in wet and dry conditions but couldn't match the top performers overall, placing 3rd. While it delivered the sportier handling Michelin intended, it recorded the highest cost per kilometer of all tested tyres, making it an expensive choice for consumers.

Top Performers and Notable Results

The Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF 3 achieved victory through exceptional balance rather than dominating any single category. It performed consistently well across all conditions without any significant weaknesses apart from higher wear rates.

Continental's AllSeasonContact 2 secured second place with well-rounded performance, while the Vredestein Quatrac impressed as the wet-weather champion among all-seasons, achieving the best combined wet scores.

Budget options showed mixed results. The Ceat 4 SeasonDrive X5 surprised with short braking distances across all conditions at just €330 per set. However, the cheapest tyre tested - the Roadhog RGAS02 at €290 - proved that extreme budget options compromise too much safety, particularly in wet and snow conditions.

Wear rates varied dramatically. The Dunlop All Season 2 projected an impressive 68,600 km lifespan, while the budget Roadhog managed only 43,050 km. This translates to potentially needing two sets of budget tyres for every set of Dunlops, negating any initial purchase price savings.

Conclusions

AUTO BILD's test reveals that premium all-season tyres have narrowed the performance gap with specialized summer and winter tyres considerably. The best all-seasons now deliver 85-95% of dedicated winter tyre performance in snow and achieve nearly summer-tyre levels of wet performance.

Michelin's dual-model strategy with the CrossClimate 3 presents an interesting market approach, though neither variant claimed top honors. The standard model's exceptional winter performance makes it ideal for severe winter regions, while the Sport variant suits drivers prioritizing dynamic handling.

For most drivers, the test suggests that premium all-seasons from Pirelli, Continental, Michelin, and Vredestein now offer genuinely viable year-round performance. The technology has matured to where the convenience of not changing tyres seasonally no longer requires significant safety compromises - provided buyers avoid the lowest-tier budget options.

Continental AllSeasonContact 2

225/40 R18 92Y

• EU Label: C/B/71
• Origin: Slowakei
• 3PMSF: yes
• Weight: 9.42 kgs
• Price: 470.00

The Continental AllSeasonContact 2 proves itself as a well-balanced multi-talent with convincing performance across all road conditions. This tyre delivers strong driving dynamics and maintains composure in varied weather scenarios, making it a reliable choice for year-round use. Continental has created a tyre that doesn't excel in any single area but performs admirably in all conditions. The main drawback is a slightly limited mileage capability, which means drivers may need to replace them sooner than some competitors.

• EU Label: D/B/72
• Origin: Ungarn
• 3PMSF: yes
• Weight: 9.91 kgs
• Price: 400.00

The Vredestein Quatrac establishes itself as a wet-weather specialist with substantial safety reserves in rainy conditions.

Kleber Quadraxer 3

• EU Label: D/B/69
• Origin: Serbien
• 3PMSF: yes
• Weight: 9.89 kgs
• Price: 430.00

The Kleber Quadraxer 3, as Michelin's budget sub-brand, proves to be a snow talent and the best second-tier brand from a premium manufacturer in the test. This tyre inherits some of Michelin's winter expertise, delivering strong cold-weather performance at a more accessible price point. However, it's somewhat weaker in dry conditions and suffers from increased rolling resistance, leading to higher fuel consumption.

Laufenn G Fit 4S

225/40 R18 92Y

• EU Label: C/B/72
• Origin: Ungarn
• 3PMSF: yes
• Weight: 9.09 kgs
• Price: 330.00

The Kleber Quadraxer 3, as Michelin's budget sub-brand, proves to be a snow talent and the best second-tier brand from a premium manufacturer in the test. This tyre inherits some of Michelin's winter expertise, delivering strong cold-weather performance at a more accessible price point. However, it's somewhat weaker in dry conditions and suffers from increased rolling resistance, leading to higher fuel consumption.

• EU Label: C/B/71

The Dunlop All Season 2 claims the title of endurance champion, offering exceptional mileage that makes it very attractive from a cost perspective.

The Toyo Celsius AS2 proves to be a kilometer-eater with low overall running costs. This Japanese tyre focuses on longevity and economy, delivering dependable if unremarkable performance. While it manages costs effectively through good wear rates, it shows slight weaknesses in snow performance that prevented a better overall ranking.

• EU Label: C/B/69

The Linglong Sport Master 4S performs as a dry-weather specialist that also handles wet conditions sovereignly, all at an attractive purchase price. This Chinese tyre offers surprisingly competent dry handling for its price point, making it appealing for fair-weather drivers.

• EU Label: C/B/72

The Roadhog RGAS02, despite its budget pricing, cannot be recommended for serious all-season use. While it offers respectable dry performance for its extremely low price, it shows significant weaknesses in snow and wet conditions that compromise safety. The high wear rate further diminishes its value proposition, making it a false economy despite the attractive initial purchase price.
