The Best All Season Tires for 2024 / 2025
1st of 9 tires
  • Joint highest dry performance rating, top-rated wet performance, second-highest snow performance, above-average ice traction, high comfort rating, second-lowest rolling resistance.
  • None.
  • It's a strong win for the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3. Pirelli have been rapidly evolving their aftermarket line of tires recently, and the SF series has been through multiple iterations to get to this point, and it's been worth it. The tire was joint best in the dry, the best in the wet, second best overall in the snow, good on ice, comfortable and had the second best rolling resistance. It's a hugely impressive tire.

The Best All Season Tires for 2024
3rd of 7 tires
  • Best in dry with shortest braking distance and fastest lap time, very good in wet, best aquaplaning resistance on test, very good in snow traction and snow handling, best ice traction, low noise.
  • Slightly extended snow braking, highest wear resulting in lowest overall value.
  • The Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 would have been the test winner if I hadn't tested wear, and honestly, was my favorite tire to drive on. It was the best in the dry, one of the best in the wet, very good around snow handling and its rolling resistance was plenty good enough too. The fact it has high wear might not be an issue for some, plus it's not much higher cost per 1000km than the Michelin, but if wear is important to you, then this is not the tire to buy. Certainly the most summer feeling of all season tire which will be appealing to some.

Top 3 Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 Reviews

Given 80% while driving a BMW m2 (255/35 R19) on a combination of roads for 3,000 spirited miles
Genuinely seriously impressive tire. I decided to use these as a winter tire as I live in Scotland.

In dry conditions manages to have acceptable levels of grip in a straight line, slight wheel spin sometimes but cannot complain since the M2 is RWD 365bhp.

Very strong tire in the dry and super progressive, really lets you know when it does begin to slip when doing spirited driving. A big strong point as these tires still allow the vehicle to be driven in a sporting manner.

In the wet they are okay for wet straight line grip, it spins up pretty easy in 1st and 2nd gear. Regardless still catches grip eventually, the handling in the wet is also okay, nothing special and is nicely progressive when the car does begin to slip away while cornering.

They are also amazing at aquaplane resistance, never met a puddle that caused the car to lose control, and I’ve been through a good few storms on the motorway with standing water, been through large street puddles/low floods. Can really have confidence driving through very poor storm like rainy conditions

In the snow these tires are brilliant, couldn’t complain at all. Was able to drive this powerful rear wheel drive without any problems in multiple inches of snow. I could rely on cornering grip (great and predictable snow drifts) it stopped well in the snow too and could go up and down snowy hills without a sweat. Genuinely very impressed and gives me great confidence for poor weather conditions.

In icy/frosty conditions, they seem to be great, pretty much felt the similar to the wet weather grip levels. Tires seem pretty good in minus temperatures, won’t blow your socks off but will absolutely keep you safe.

All in all, after being able to test the tires over a period of 3000 miles through various winter and mild conditions, I will only buy these going forward even with the price premium.

I feel like it allows my performance car to still be a performance car in the colder months. It also gives me peace of mind driving through the most adverse of conditions.
