Data updated

Which should you buy?

Choose the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 for the stronger all-round package, especially if wet-road safety, braking and consistent handling are priorities. Consider the Giti AllSeason AS2 if snow braking is your main differentiator and its purchase price is clearly lower-but do not assume it will be better value without checking local pricing and expected lifespan.

Where the AllSeason AS2 is stronger

  • Shorter snow braking in each of the three tests reporting that category.
  • Strong snow performance overall in the 2026 Auto Zeitung test, including the fastest snow handling time of these two tires.
  • Better straight-line aquaplaning speed than the Pirelli in the 2026 Auto Zeitung test, and better curved-aquaplaning result in the 2025 crossover test.

Wins count every measurement the shared tests recorded for both tires; a tick marks the tire ahead on that line. Subjective driver scores count as wins but are never averaged, because each test uses its own scale.

Head to head in 5 tests, 2024 to 2026

Each row is one published test in which both tires ran on the same car, in the same size, on the same day. The line is the whole field, winner on the left.

Point at or tap any spoke for both tires' figures.

In each test the better of the two figures counts as 100% and the other as its share of it, so a 118 ft stop against 112 ft is 95%; each spoke averages the shared tests that recorded it. The scale stops at 90%: a point further in sits on the hub's edge, hollow. 9 measurements recorded in only one shared test are left off; every measurement is in the table further down.

Every measurement, side by side

Averages of the figures both tires posted in the same tests. The gap is the average of each test's own gap, so figures from different cars and years are never mixed. Open a discipline for its measurements, and a measurement for every test's figure.

Braking distances and lap times are better when lower; speeds, wear and grip figures when higher. A test's figures are its own: sizes, cars, surfaces and temperatures differ from one to the next, which is why the averages here are only ever of tests the two tires shared. "Scored" rows are subjective driver ratings: each test uses its own scale, so only the wins are counted.

Scores beyond the shared tests

On the Tire Reviews Score, which weighs every test and review we hold, the AllSeason AS2 scores 8.8 and the Cinturato All Season SF3 9.6 out of 10.

Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3

  • 80%would buy again
  • 578,592 milesdriven by reviewers

Most owners rate the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 highly, with the bulk of feedback praising its dependable wet and dry grip (mentioned by over half of reviewers) and an easy, confidence-inspiring feel for year-round use. Around a third of owners also highlight strong snow traction for an all-season tire, alongside generally low road noise and good ride comfort. A small minority report vibration/balancing issues, while roughly one in six mention steering feel is a bit soft or less direct than sportier or summer-focused alternatives; aquaplaning feedback is more mixed.

  • Strong wet grip and reassuring confidence in the rain
  • High dry grip for an all-season tire
  • Impressive snow traction for winter days
  • Generally low road noise, especially at cruising speeds
  • Vibration or balancing/run-out problems reported by some owners
  • Steering feel can be a bit soft or less direct than alternatives
  • Aquaplaning resistance gets mixed reports in standing water

Summarised by AI from 70 vetted reviews; the reviews themselves are on the tire page.

Great tires! In autumn and winter conditions, I found them better than the Continental TS860 in mud and snow, but worse on ice.

In summer, compared with the Continental PremiumContact 6, they offered better aquaplaning resistance, but slightly worse wet grip and overall handling. Lateral stability was by far their weakest point compared with my old Conti.

These were my first all-season tires, a bit of a gamble for me, but overall, I would recommend them. After 40,000 km over two years, they are showing some wear, so I plan to replace them by 50,000 km to stay on the safe side. My original plan was to use them for 40,000–60,000 km and less than four years.

Reading the results

Written from the test results and owner reviews above. It is analysis, not a measurement: where it and the tables disagree, the tables are right.

The Giti AllSeason AS2 and Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 are both premium-touring all-season tires, but their results across five shared tests point to different levels of all-round performance. The Pirelli placed ahead overall in every comparison, including first place in three tests; its clearest and most consistent advantage is braking on both dry and wet roads.

The Giti has a notable counterpoint: it often brakes shorter on snow, and it shows strengths in selected aquaplaning tests. The comparison therefore weighs dependable tarmac grip and broad consistency against some specific winter-condition advantages-not simply two equivalent all-round performers.

Conclusion

The Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 is the stronger and more convincing all-round choice in this evidence. It beats the Giti in dry and wet braking in all five shared tests; the gaps are practically meaningful, with the supplied results commonly showing roughly 5-11% shorter stopping distances. It also tends to handle better on wet and dry roads, and its overall test positions are consistently stronger. In the 2026 Auto Zeitung test, its predicted mileage was substantially higher, though the smaller wear advantage in the 2024 test shows that lifespan estimates vary by test and size.

The Giti AllSeason AS2 is worth considering if snow braking is a priority: it recorded shorter snow stops in all three tests that compared that category. It also takes some aquaplaning and noise results, but these strengths do not offset its repeated tarmac-braking deficit or weaker overall rankings. Value is not a clear, universal Giti advantage: cost-per-distance results favor different tires in different tests. For most drivers who regularly encounter wet roads and want balanced year-round performance, choose the Pirelli; the practical takeaway is that the Giti's snow-braking edge is specific, while the Pirelli's advantage is broader and repeats across tests.

Where this data comes from

Finishing positions and measurements are transcribed from each published test. A test only counts here when both tires ran in it, so every figure was recorded on the same car, size and day as the one it is compared to.

About the TR Score

The Tire Reviews Score rates each tire out of 10 from every independent test result and vetted owner review we hold, so two tires can be compared even before a test has run them together.

Who does the testing

Every test published as a Tire Reviews test is run by Jonathan Benson, who has been testing tires independently since 2007.
