2026 Auto Bild All Season Tyre Test P7 of 15

The Ceat 4 SeasonDrive X5 shares seventh place and is rated good. It offers strong value, short dry braking and very good aquaplaning resistance for a low price, but its snow performance and high rolling resistance are clear compromises.

So far, so good!To be honest, these Ceat tires have been a really pleasant surprise. I had no expectations, but they have given me absolutely zero nasty surprises. The performance is solid, and for this price, they are an absolute steal. Highly recommended!
