All Weather Premium Touring Tyre Tests

Tire Rack has published its latest group test, titled "Premium Touring Tyres to Elevating the Journey". The 2024 report evaluates a large group of eleven popular touring tyres using a 2025 Toyota Camry as the test vehicle. The test focuses primarily on the Grand Touring All-Season and All-Weather categories, with nine patterns tested. To provide a broader market comparison, two representative Standard Touring All-Season tyres were also included in the evaluation.

Car and Driver recently put five all-weather tyres to test to find the best option for drivers who want to run one set of rubber year-round. Using a BMW 330i xDrive for dry and wet testing at Tire Rack's South Bend facility and a Genesis G70 for snow evaluations at Michigan's Keweenaw Research Center, the magazine teamed up with expert drivers to collect objective performance data and subjective impressions across multiple driving scenarios.

The all weather category of tyres is quickly growing in popularity, as a tyre that can be used in all weathers is a big advantage for people living in snowy climates, it saves changing tyres twice a year between an all season and a winter product.

To find out which of these new all weather category tyres is best, I have tested them in the dry, wet, snow and ice to give you a really good overview of their abilities, and also looked into the the rolling resistance, comfort, noise levels and value, to find out which tyre is best in all conditions.

THIS DATA IS BASED ON INTERNAL MICHELIN TESTING.

Now that's clearly out of the way, I think it's quite an interesting datapoint. I'm confident the data will be good as when companies put competitor data in the public eye, they risk being sued over it, so they triple check everything is fair.
