2025 AutoBild 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.

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.

The difference between best and worst was 29.9% (10.4 m ≈ 2.3 Car Lengths). From 130 km/h, the Dunlop All Season 2 would still be travelling at 42 km/h when the Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 had stopped.

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

The difference between best and worst was 117.1% (6.49 Price/1000). Over 40,000 km the cheapest tyre to own (Dunlop All Season 2) works out €361 cheaper than the most expensive (Linglong Sport Master 4S).

How this is calculated

Assumes a typical car using 8 l/100km (with rolling resistance causing 20% of fuel use), fuel at €1.65 per litre and €70 fitting per set of four. Purchase prices are from the time of the 2025 test; financing costs are excluded.

The difference between best and worst was 30.1% (2.21 kg / t). Over 19,000 km a year at £1.45/L, the Linglong Sport Master 4S uses about 91 L (£133) more fuel than the Sailun Atrezzo 4Seasons Ultra.

19,000 km
£1.45/L
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.
