Auto Bild AllRads's 2024 SUV All Season Tire Test tested 12 all-season tires in size 245/45 R18, alongside summer and winter reference tires. The test revealed significant performance gaps between the best and worst all-season tires across various conditions, while also highlighting the compromises these tires make compared to specialized seasonal options.

In dry conditions, the top-performing all-season tires approached the capabilities of the summer reference tire, but couldn't quite match its grip or balance. The Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 demonstrated the shortest dry braking distance among all-season tires at 37.7 meters, though still 2.4 meters behind the summer reference. The poorest performing Minerva All Season Master required an additional 5.7 meters to stop. Dry handling tests showed similar trends, with the best all-season tire, the Hankook Kinergy 4S2, achieving an average speed just 1.1 km/h slower than the summer reference, while the slowest Nexen N Blue 4Season 2 lagged by 5.3 km/h.

Wet performance highlighted even greater differences. The Vredestein Quatrac Pro+ stopped in 48.1 meters on wet surfaces, 2.3 meters behind the summer reference but a full 17 meters shorter than the Davanti Alltoura 4 Seasons. In wet handling, the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 nearly matched the summer tire's performance, while the Davanti again trailed significantly, with a 9.8 km/h slower average speed.

Snow testing demonstrated the true versatility of all-season tires. The Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen 3 achieved a snow braking distance just 0.8 meters longer than the winter reference tire, while the summer reference tire required more than double the distance to stop. Snow traction and handling tests told a similar story, with the best all-season tires closely matching or even slightly outperforming the winter reference, while the summer tire proved utterly inadequate.

These results underscore the wide performance abilities within the all-season tire category. While the best performers offer an interesting balance for year-round use, the poorer options struggle to deliver consistent performance across varying conditions. The test also reinforces that while high-quality all-season tires can approach the performance of specialized tires in many situations, they still involve some compromise compared to using dedicated summer and winter tires for their respective seasons.

Dry

In dry braking, the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 performed best among the all-season tires, stopping in 37.7 meters. The worst performer was the Minerva All Season Master, requiring 43.4 meters - a significant 5.7 meter difference. The reference summer tire outperformed all all-season tires with a 35.3 meter stopping distance, while the reference winter tire was near the bottom at 42 meters. This shows that even the best all-season tires compromise dry performance compared to dedicated summer tires.

Value

The Michelin CrossClimate 2 had the lowest rolling resistance at 6.72 kg/t, while the Minerva All Season Master had the highest at 8.57 kg/t - a significant 1.85 kg/t difference. The reference summer tire was in the middle at 7.52 kg/t, with the reference winter tire slightly higher at 7.68 kg/t. The Michelin CrossClimate 2 demonstrated that it's possible to achieve low rolling resistance without compromising performance in other areas.

There was over twice the price difference between the most expensive and cheapest. The Michelin CrossClimate 2 topped the chart at 840€ per set, while the Minerva All Season Master was the most budget-friendly at just 405€ - a difference of 435€. Interestingly, the top-performing tires weren't necessarily the most expensive, with the test-winning Continental AllSeasonContact 2 priced at 735€. The budget options from Davanti and Minerva, priced at 420€ and 405€ respectively, performed poorly in safety tests, suggesting that extreme cost-cutting may compromise crucial performance aspects.
