The 2025 Autobild All Season tire braking shootout put 30 of the latest all season tires in the 'sporty' 225/40 R18 size through dry and wet braking tests.
As usual the top 15 from this test will go through to the full Autobild all season test which should be out in a few weeks.

Things to note from this test:
- The Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 was best in dry braking
- The Vredestein Quatrac was impressive in wet braking, a meter ahead of the Continental in second place
- The Michelin CrossClimate 3 Sport is better at slowing the car down than the CrossClimate 3 (we knew this from the Tire Reviews test)
- The Linglong is legitimately good in the dry and wet (also known from the Tire Reviews test)
- A tire named Roadhog was better than Toyo, Dunlop, Firestone, and BFGoodrich in wet and dry braking. It will be interesting to see how this budget tire performs in the full test.
We are very excited for the full test, make sure you check back soon!
