The 2024 Promobil camper van / motorhome all season tyre test has tested eight of the best all season tyres using a VW Transporter Van (T6.1) fitted out as a camper. The test looked at how these tyres perform in various conditions, including snow, wet, and dry roads. Key aspects such as braking distances, traction, and handling were examined to understand each tyre's capabilities.
As most tyre tests are conducted using a regular vehicle, this test provides insights into the performance of all-season tyres on a campervan style platform. Fortunately, not much has changed, with the all season tyres you'd expect to work well on a car also working well on a van style motorhome, with the Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 and Michelin CrossClimate 2 leading the way.
The surprise of the test was the Giti GitiAllSeason AS1 SUV placing third, ahead of Pirelli, Falken and Vredestein. This is an impressive result for the quickly improving brand, and as the cheapest tyre on test it offers some real value.
The final thing to note is that Promobil did not include the Falken EuroAllSeason AS220 Pro in the final results as they tested a pre-production version and at time of publication had not verified the results with retail tyres. As the result is around where this tyre should be finishing, we have databased it in the overall results.
As we've come to expect from all season tyre tests, the Michelin CrossClimate 2 had a big advantage in dry braking.

Value
The Michelin was back at the top, having the lowest rolling resistance of all the tyres on test.
Secure cornering grip with wide margins and stable understeering tendency on snow. Outstanding traction and very safe driving behavior on wet roads. Safe, dynamic handling also in dry conditions.
Slightly longer braking distances dry, light rolling noise.
Outstanding traction and best braking performance, along with stable cornering behavior on snow. Exceptional braking performance, sluggish but safe evasive behavior on dry roads.
On snow, relative to traction/braking, somewhat reduced corner grip. Longer braking distances and weak corner grip with slim margins on wet roads. Low inherent damping.
The Michelin, unbeatable in many aspects, only loses in the rain.
Corner grip, traction, and braking performance on snow are good. Very short braking distances and decent corner grip on wet surfaces, very good grip in dry corners, best rolling comfort.
Limitations in driving stability on snow-covered as well as on wet curves (oversteering). Inadequate aquaplaning prevention, somewhat unstable in the lane change test, and long braking distances on dry surfaces.
Shortest braking distances – unfortunately, only on wet surfaces.
Decent traction, but only superficially good corner grip on snow. Largely good-natured characteristics in wet conditions, very secure grip in dry corners.
Very narrow limit range in snow-covered curves, sudden under- or oversteering. Sensitive to puddles, somewhat limited aquaplaning protection. Instability in the lane change test.
Impeccable, reliable, and balanced characteristics on snow. Good-natured properties in wet handling, stable in corners, and very amiable in handling on dry roads.
Inadequate aquaplaning prevention, somewhat longer braking distances on dry surfaces, quite sluggish steering response, and slightly unstable in rapid lane changing.
