StrengthsThe Continental AllSeasonContact 2 is the most complete tyre in this test, staying secure and precise at the limit on dry and wet roads and holding its own through the winter tests. It posts some of the shortest wet braking in the field, pairs strong snow traction with the lowest fuel consumption of any tyre here, and does it all from a light casing that wears slowly. ConsiderationsThe Continental's only real shortfall is tread life, where its predicted mileage lands only mid-pack and keeps its environmental score from matching its safety score. Dry braking is merely average rather than class-leading, though its dry handling more than makes up for it. Score contributionCategory score × of overall score Dry93.82 × 25% = 23.46 Wet97.98 × 35% = 34.29 Snow97.53 × 25% = 24.38 Ice96.21 × 5% = 4.81 Comfort98.45 × 5% = 4.92 Value91.19 × 5% = 4.56 | |||||||||||||||||||||

StrengthsThe Michelin CrossClimate 2 is secure and precise at the limit in the dry and equally sure-footed on snow, and it leads the environmental side of the test - it is the lightest tyre here, wears the slowest of any in the field, and returns low fuel consumption alongside a high predicted mileage. ConsiderationsThe CrossClimate 2 gives up ground on wet roads, where its grip and braking sit only mid-field and hold it back from the win. It is the clearest area where the newer competition has moved ahead of it.

StrengthsThe Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF 3 is largely precise and secure at the limit in the dry and stays safe on wet roads, backing that up with a high predicted mileage and low abrasion that give it one of the better environmental results in the test. ConsiderationsThe Pirelli's winter driving is its softer spot, with slightly weaker snow handling than the front-runners, and it carries a little more weight than the average tyre here. Score contributionCategory score × of overall score Dry98.5 × 25% = 24.63 Wet92.31 × 35% = 32.31 Snow96.73 × 25% = 24.18 Ice96.67 × 5% = 4.83 Comfort97.9 × 5% = 4.9 Value92.75 × 5% = 4.64 | |||||||||||||||||||||

StrengthsThe Vredestein Quatrac has good reserves at the limit in the dry and turns in a solid wet performance, and it scores well on the environmental side with a high predicted mileage, low weight and low abrasion. ConsiderationsThe Quatrac lacks a little steering precision in the dry and is clearly weaker on winter roads, where it slips behind the better all-rounders. Score contributionCategory score × of overall score Dry94.05 × 25% = 23.51 Wet93.27 × 35% = 32.64 Snow91.58 × 25% = 22.9 Ice91.03 × 5% = 4.55 Comfort97.35 × 5% = 4.87 Value91.38 × 5% = 4.57 | |||||||||||||||||||||

StrengthsThe Hankook Kinergy 4S 2 is one of the strongest tyres here in the dry, secure and precise at the limit, and it backs that up with a high predicted mileage, low abrasion and good resistance to aquaplaning. ConsiderationsThe Hankook is weaker when it comes to wet braking and grip, and its winter traction is only modest. It is also among the noisier tyres in the test. Score contributionCategory score × of overall score Dry93.82 × 25% = 23.46 Wet91.49 × 35% = 32.02 Snow94.36 × 25% = 23.59 Ice91.86 × 5% = 4.59 Comfort95.88 × 5% = 4.79 Value92.48 × 5% = 4.62 | |||||||||||||||||||||

StrengthsThe Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 is the winter specialist of this test, posting the shortest snow and ice braking in the field and pairing that with secure wet grip and a high predicted mileage. ConsiderationsThe Goodyear pays for its winter focus in the dry, where its braking is among the longest in the test and lets the overall result down. Fuel consumption is also at the thirsty end of the field. Score contributionCategory score × of overall score Dry88.96 × 25% = 22.24 Wet96.23 × 35% = 33.68 Snow99.34 × 25% = 24.84 Ice100 × 5% = 5 Comfort99.01 × 5% = 4.95 Value89.42 × 5% = 4.47 | |||||||||||||||||||||

StrengthsThe Nokian Seasonproof 2 is the wet-weather standout of this test, with the shortest wet braking and the best resistance to aquaplaning in the field, and it stays light and economical on fuel. ConsiderationsThe Nokian is weaker in the dry and only average on winter roads, and its predicted mileage and abrasion are among the less impressive results here, which weighs on its environmental score. Score contributionCategory score × of overall score Dry95.18 × 25% = 23.8 Wet99.69 × 35% = 34.89 Snow91.09 × 25% = 22.77 Ice91.44 × 5% = 4.57 Comfort98.03 × 5% = 4.9 Value83.19 × 5% = 4.16 | |||||||||||||||||||||

StrengthsThe GT Radial ClimateActive keeps a safe hold on wet roads and runs with low fuel consumption, making it a reasonable value option among the mainstream all-seasons. ConsiderationsThe GT Radial is weaker in the dry and clearly struggles on winter roads, its predicted mileage is only middling, and it is both the heaviest tyre and the fastest-wearing in the test. Score contributionCategory score × of overall score Dry93.16 × 25% = 23.29 Wet93.7 × 35% = 32.8 Snow93.79 × 25% = 23.45 Ice97.13 × 5% = 4.86 Comfort97.08 × 5% = 4.85 Value80.39 × 5% = 4.02 | |||||||||||||||||||||

StrengthsThe Nexen N'Blue 4Season 2 is the quietest tyre in this test and turns in a genuinely short ice braking result, with low fuel consumption adding to its case. ConsiderationsThe Nexen is weak in the dry and struggles for grip in the wet, its winter performance is only modest, and it carries above-average weight with a shorter predicted mileage. Score contributionCategory score × of overall score Dry92.72 × 25% = 23.18 Wet91.37 × 35% = 31.98 Snow92.41 × 25% = 23.1 Ice99.02 × 5% = 4.95 Comfort100 × 5% = 5 Value82.64 × 5% = 4.13 | |||||||||||||||||||||

StrengthsThe Dunlop All Season 2 is a genuine winter performer, among the very best here for snow braking and traction and earning the strongest winter safety result in the test. ConsiderationsThe Dunlop is let down badly in the dry, where it records the longest braking distance of any tyre in the test, and it is also weak in the wet, so its all-round balance never comes together. Score contributionCategory score × of overall score Dry87.78 × 25% = 21.95 Wet87.18 × 35% = 30.51 Snow100 × 25% = 25 Ice98.07 × 5% = 4.9 Comfort97.9 × 5% = 4.9 Value85.69 × 5% = 4.28 | |||||||||||||||||||||

StrengthsThe Milever All Season Versat MC545 keeps abrasion low and runs reasonably quietly, and its fuel consumption is acceptable for a budget tyre. ConsiderationsThe Milever is weak across all three safety surfaces - dry, wet and winter - and has the shortest predicted mileage of any tyre in the test, so it will need replacing sooner than the field. Score contributionCategory score × of overall score Dry91.86 × 25% = 22.97 Wet85.69 × 35% = 29.99 Snow96.59 × 25% = 24.15 Ice94.42 × 5% = 4.72 Comfort99.43 × 5% = 4.97 Value79.51 × 5% = 3.98 | |||||||||||||||||||||

StrengthsThe Norauto 4 Seasons 2 is surprisingly good in the dry and posts the highest predicted mileage of any tyre in this test, backed by low abrasion, low weight and good fuel economy for a strong environmental showing. ConsiderationsThe Norauto falls apart on winter roads, where its grip is very poor, and it is also weak in the wet. That winter shortfall is severe enough to drag down an otherwise respectable set of results. Score contributionCategory score × of overall score Dry93.38 × 25% = 23.35 Wet89.41 × 35% = 31.29 Snow93.3 × 25% = 23.32 Ice95.75 × 5% = 4.79 Comfort96.28 × 5% = 4.81 Value95.49 × 5% = 4.77 | |||||||||||||||||||||

StrengthsThe Bridgestone Weather Control A005-Evo is genuinely good in the wet, with some of the shortest wet braking in the test and the best result of all on wet concrete, and it holds a high predicted mileage. ConsiderationsThe Bridgestone is weak in the dry and very poor on winter roads, where its snow grip is among the worst in the field - a real problem for a tyre that carries the winter snowflake marking. It is also one of the heavier tyres here. Score contributionCategory score × of overall score Dry93.6 × 25% = 23.4 Wet99.05 × 35% = 34.67 Snow87.04 × 25% = 21.76 Ice90.22 × 5% = 4.51 Comfort97.9 × 5% = 4.9 Value90.12 × 5% = 4.51 | |||||||||||||||||||||

StrengthsThe Mastersteel All Weather 2 records the shortest dry braking distance of any tyre in this test and keeps abrasion low, with acceptable fuel consumption. ConsiderationsBeyond that one dry braking result the Mastersteel struggles, with weak dry handling, weak wet grip and very poor winter performance including the longest ice braking in the field. It is also heavy and among the noisier tyres. Score contributionCategory score × of overall score Dry100 × 25% = 25 Wet91.16 × 35% = 31.91 Snow87.07 × 25% = 21.77 Ice88.26 × 5% = 4.41 Comfort94.71 × 5% = 4.74 Value80.72 × 5% = 4.04 | |||||||||||||||||||||

StrengthsThe Roadhog RGAS02 brakes reasonably well in the dry and keeps abrasion and fuel consumption low, which are its only real bright spots. ConsiderationsThe Roadhog is weak in the wet and very poor in winter, propping up the field for snow braking, snow traction and aquaplaning resistance. It is also a heavy tyre with a short predicted mileage. Score contributionCategory score × of overall score Dry98.75 × 25% = 24.69 Wet89.62 × 35% = 31.37 Snow85.01 × 25% = 21.25 Ice90.22 × 5% = 4.51 Comfort96.01 × 5% = 4.8 Value81.93 × 5% = 4.1 | |||||||||||||||||||||

StrengthsThe Tomason Allseason keeps weight, abrasion and fuel consumption low, the only areas where it shows any advantage. ConsiderationsThe Tomason is weak in the dry, records the longest wet braking in the test on both asphalt and concrete, and is very poor on winter roads. It is also the noisiest tyre in the field. Score contributionCategory score × of overall score Dry89.77 × 25% = 22.44 Wet85.58 × 35% = 29.95 Snow88.17 × 25% = 22.04 Ice96.67 × 5% = 4.83 Comfort93.69 × 5% = 4.68 Value82.1 × 5% = 4.11 | |||||||||||||||||||||

These are calculated scenarios, not new test awards. The published verdict may reflect judgement, close results and factors outside this calculation.
Not ranked: a measurement needed for these weights is missing. Missing results are not treated as zero or redistributed.
Reference tyres provide context only. They do not set the benchmark and cannot win the personalised ranking.
Weighting vs real impact
What decides this ranking
The weighting is how much each category counts. The real impact is how much of the difference between the tyres it creates: a discipline in which every tyre performed about the same barely changes the order, however much it counts.
No weighting is recorded for this test, so the weighting here starts from Tyre Reviews’ season defaults, not from the test’s own scoring.
- Dry Weighting 25% Real impact 15%
- Wet Weighting 35% Real impact 43%
- Snow Weighting 25% Real impact 27%
- Ice Weighting 5% Real impact 5%
- Comfort Weighting 5% Real impact 2%
- Value Weighting 5% Real impact 9%
- Curved Aquaplaning counts for 3.5% of the score but creates 8% of the difference between the tyres, because their results in it were far apart.
- Dry Braking counts for 25% of the score but creates only 15% of the difference, because most tyres performed about the same in it.
Every discipline 12
| Discipline | Weighting | Real impact |
|---|---|---|
| Dry Braking | 25% | 15% |
| Wet Braking | 14% | 16% |
| Wet Braking - Concrete | 14% | 15% |
| Straight Aqua | 3.5% | 4% |
| Curved Aquaplaning | 3.5% | 8% |
| Snow Braking | 13.5% | 12% |
| Snow Traction | 11.5% | 15% |
| Ice Braking | 5% | 5% |
| Noise | 5% | 2% |
| Wear | 1.9% | 5% |
| Fuel Consumption | 1.8% | 1% |
| Abrasion | 1.4% | 3% |
How it is worked out: each discipline’s weighting is multiplied by the spread of its results (the gap across the middle half of the tyres, as a percentage of the best result), then shared out so that all the disciplines add up to 100%. It estimates what separates the tyres; it is not a second set of weights, and it follows the weights you set.
How your ranking is calculated
Each discipline is scored against the best non-reference tyre in the full test field: best ÷ result × 100 when lower is better, or result ÷ best × 100 when higher is better. Discipline scores are rounded to two decimal places, then combined using your weights.
Within-category weights divide that category’s share of the overall score. A 50% wet category and 40% wet-braking share give wet braking 20% of the total. A weight is a scoring priority, not a measure of its actual effect on the ranking: the performance gaps matter too. What decides this ranking ↑
Published joint positions are preserved separately. Calculated positions tie only when their underlying scores match; two displayed scores can look equal after rounding.
A zero weight excludes that category or discipline. At least one active discipline is required, and the disciplines in every active category must have a positive total.
