The BEST High Mileage All Season Tyres in 2026 Tested P1 of 5
The Continental TrueContact Tour 54 is the winner of this test. It was best in test for wet braking, wet handling and dry handling, and it also took the highest subjective scores in both wet and dry, which tells you how easy it is to drive quickly. It never surprised me, it did whatever I asked of it while accelerating, braking or turning, and it shared the highest comfort score in the test. It was mid-field for straight aquaplaning and third of five in the snow tests, so it is not the choice for a very snowy climate, and although it is as cheap as anything here to buy, the shorter warranty on this size drops it towards the bottom on cost per warranted mile. If you want one tyre that is excellent at everything that happens on a road, this is it.

A pronounced protective rib that stands well clear of the rim and takes most kerb contact before the wheel does.

Owner ratings averaged from 3 ratings
Great choice for a long wearing, efficient, daily driver.
Really seems to do almost everything well and feels like a trusty companion to our little Civic.
Wearing well but looks unlikely to last as long as a Defender 2. Better rolling resistance though.
The only issue with it is the cost. Continental seems to bumped the price since I bought mine. I would buy again if on sale.
