2026 Auto Express All Season Tyre Test P8 of 8
The Tomket Allyear 3 finished last by a wide margin. Its wet braking and wet handling fall far short of every other tyre in the test, which makes it hard to recommend even as a budget choice, particularly as it was not the cheapest tyre here. Low rolling resistance is its only notable strength.

Drawn from 5 tests. Updated October 29, 2026.
The Tomket Allyear 3 repeatedly finishes at or near the bottom, with wet stopping and handling the clearest weaknesses across five tests. It was last of eight in the 2026 Auto Express All Season Tyre Test, last of nine in the 2025 Tyre Reviews test, and last of ten in the 2022/23 Tyre Reviews test. Auto Bild placed it 30th of 35 in its 2023 braking shootout and last of 32 in the 2021 market overview. In the wider measured comparison in 2026, wet braking was 41.32 m, 51.3% from best, and the testers stopped the car because wet handling was so unpredictable.
Dry braking and aquaplaning resistance are recurring weaknesses too. Rolling resistance is the main positive, leading the wider 2026 comparison and earning favourable comments in 2025 and 2022. Noise was low in the two Tyre Reviews tests, but less competitive in 2026. Snow results are inconsistent: third-of-ten traction in 2022 was unusually favourable beside weak snow grip in 2025 and last-in-group traction in 2026. The good subjective dry balance in 2025 also lacked matching grip. No award is recorded. The record supports efficiency more strongly than safe, balanced all-season grip, with repeated tester criticism of wet-road behaviour.

The Tomket Allyear 3 finishing in last place was a little disappointing to me as while it is classified as a budget tyre, it isn't an ultra cheap chinese budget. Its dry performance was nice subjectively however it did not have the grip to match, over 10% down in dry braking, nearly 20% in wet braking and also not that great in snow, though a lot better than a summer tyre. Its rolling resistance was ok.
The Tomket Allyear 3 once again proves that a budget tyre can be fine in one category, it was reasonable in the snow, but then be a disaster in other areas, with a 10.5 meter difference stopping the golf from just 50 mph and really difficult wet handling making the allyear 3 a tyre to avoid.
