Every year, the German publication Auto Bild selects a tire size, finds as many all season tires as possible in that size, and tests them all in dry and wet braking, with the top 14 tires proceeding to the full all season tire test.
For the 2020 all season tire test, Auto Bild rounded up 34 all season tires in the common 205/55 R16 size, and a summer and winter tire as reference.
This is the best overview of the all season tire market we will get all year, and make sure you come back to Tire Reviews tomorrow for the full test, where the top 14 will be put through a full range of dry, wet and snow testing.
To see the winter version of this market overview, click here , and be sure to check out the Auto Bild website .
