2020 Commercial Van All Season Tyre Test

Compare each discipline in the tested size. See the measured result, position and gap to the best tyre, then read the verdict for the trade-offs behind the finishing order.

Tested size: 225/70 R15C
Tyres tested: 7
Disciplines: 9

Read the measurements, not just the rank

Lower is better for braking distances and lap times; higher is better for subjective scores and aquaplaning speed. Bars start at zero. Read the gap alongside the position: adjacent tyres can be separated by very different margins.

Positions and gaps always refer to the full test field within each group. Selecting tyres does not recalculate rankings or change the best-in-test benchmark.

Dry

Dry Braking
Position / Tyre	Result	Gap to best	Residual speed
1Michelin Agilis CrossClimate	43.8 m	Best	0 km/h
2Pirelli Carrier All Season	46.3 m	+2.50 m	30 km/h
3Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Cargo	48.2 m	+4.40 m	39 km/h
4Maxxis VanSmart AS AL2	49.1 m	+5.30 m	43 km/h
5Falken EuroAll Season Van11	49.2 m	+5.40 m	43 km/h
6Continental VanContact 4Season	49.5 m	+5.70 m	44 km/h
7Vredestein Comtrac 2 All Season	50.4 m	+6.60 m	47 km/h

The difference between best and worst was 15.1% (6.6 m ≈ 1.5 Car Lengths). From 130 km/h, the Vredestein Comtrac 2 All Season would still be travelling at 47 km/h when the Michelin Agilis CrossClimate had stopped.

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

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.
