The full test

The evidence behind the verdict

AUTO BILD has completed their comprehensive 2025 all-season tyre test in the popular 225/40 R18 size, evaluating 30 models with the top 15 advancing to full testing. In a surprising turn of events, the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF 3 claimed overall victory, while Michelin's highly anticipated new CrossClimate 3 range delivered mixed results.

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.

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.

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

Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6

225/40 R18 92Y XL
Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6
Auto Bild Good gut
The Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 shows its strength as a summer specialist with excellent dry handling and high safety reserves in wet conditions. This tyre particularly impresses with its refined handling characteristics and comfort levels in warmer conditions. While it performs adequately in winter conditions, it's somewhat weaker on snow compared to the top performers, making it better suited for regions with milder winters.

Michelin CrossClimate 3

Michelin CrossClimate 3
Auto Bild Eco Champion / Good Eco-Meister / gut
The Michelin CrossClimate 3 (standard version) stands out as the snow king of the test, capable of matching even dedicated winter tyres in cold conditions. This tyre combines exceptional winter performance with very high mileage capability, making it particularly strong in the cost analysis despite its higher purchase price. The remarkable snow performance and longevity make it an excellent choice for drivers in regions with harsh winters. Its only weakness is somewhat reduced performance in wet conditions compared to the top wet-weather specialists.

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.

The Roadhog RGAS02, despite its budget pricing, cannot be recommended for serious all-season use.

    If i wanted a tyre to go a bit off road-ish a few days per month, anticipate some mud maybe, dirt roads etc but mainly driven on road on dry and maybe some wet, would the Linglong Spot Master 4S be a proper choice sacrificing some dry/wet performance. No snow capabilities required, noise etc no concern. Tyre size 185/60/15.

      That depends how much you value puncture resistance. If you want some peace of mind a mild all terrain tire is the only choice for offroading.

        Since I do some agricultural activities a couple days each month Including heavy loads in <3km dirt roads, I do mind the puncture resistance. Been using the Firestone Roadhawk though with the thinest of sidewalls and never had a problem. Only with mud or some fresh ploughed soil. I am considering switching to some harder sidewall mid range all season and seen all your videos. Linglong or Ceat looks decent enough and quite cheaper than the Debica, Falken or the Hankook, but that scares me too.

    I don't understand the wet results in relation to the EU tyre labels.
    The Continental AllSeasonContact 2 has a B for wet performance on the EU label, yet it scores better in this test than the Michelin CrossClimate 3 Sport which has an A for wet performance on the EU label. Same for the Vredestein Quatrac that scores best in the wet in this test yet only gets a B for wet performance on the EU label.
    How can this be?

      Some brands are more cautious with their label scores than others. You're allowed to downgrade your results if you want.

    Shouldn't best Dry Braking be 38.1M? There’s no tyre in this test with 34.8 M dry braking.

      In which section? 34.8 was the reference summer tyre, it should be excluded from most calculations but I had a site update go wrong recently so need to double check everyone is seeing the same thing.

      Ok i've fixed the bug, it might take a few hours for the cache to clear through the system, thanks for letting me know.

    Would be great to see the graphs Jon if possible? Easier to compare data than the table.

      Hit the 'test charts' button at the top. I need to make that clearer.

        Got them thanks.
        Also, any murmurings yet of CC3 or CC3 Sport in 215/55R17 & 215/50R18 yet?

          I would guess they will be CC3 sizes, not sport. I have no info on new sizes though.
