Data updated

Which should you buy?

Choose the Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 if your priority is maximum wet-road safety and confidence in a mild-to-moderate winter climate (rainy regions, lots of motorway use, frequent wet braking events) and you want strong overall value. Choose the Michelin CrossClimate 2 if you regularly drive on snow/ice or want the most winter-capable all-season with better rolling resistance (efficiency/range) and generally lower noise-accepting that wet braking/handling is typically not as strong as the Bridgestone.

Where the Turanza All Season 6 is stronger

  • Wet braking superiority across all shared tests (15-0), with several large real-world gaps (e.g., 50.5 m vs 56.4 m in 225/50 R17; 27.2 m vs 31.4 m in 205/55 R16)
  • Typically stronger wet handling, wet circle performance, and aquaplaning security (frequent wins in wet handling and wet circle; often higher straight aquaplaning speeds)
  • Balanced dry performance with competitive braking/handling; often described as “summer-tire-like” in steering and dynamics in mild climates

Where the CrossClimate 2 is stronger

  • Best-in-class snow and ice capability in the shared data (dominant wins in snow braking/traction/handling; frequent 'winter-tire-like' descriptions)
  • Consistently lower rolling resistance (often ~5-20% better), supporting fuel/energy efficiency and range
  • Frequently quieter on test (many noise wins) and generally refined for long-distance touring

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 Turanza All Season 6 scores 9.4 and the CrossClimate 2 9.5 out of 10.

Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6

  • 393,509 milesdriven by reviewers

Owners broadly rate the Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 as a very safe, summer-leaning all-season tire, with a clear consensus around strong wet grip (mentioned by over half of reviewers) and similarly impressive dry grip. Snow traction is generally described as capable for occasional winter use, and around a third of owners also report encouraging tread life. The main drawbacks are feel and efficiency: around one in four owners complain of numb steering feedback and a similar share report higher rolling resistance/fuel consumption, while road noise is divisive with near-even praise and criticism.

  • Very strong wet grip and confidence in heavy rain
  • High dry grip that feels close to a summer tire
  • Capable snow traction for light to moderate winter conditions
  • Good tread life for year-round use
  • Numb steering feel and limited feedback near the limit
  • Higher rolling resistance and a noticeable fuel economy hit for some
  • Road noise can be intrusive on certain surfaces, despite others finding it quiet

Summarised by AI from 43 vetted reviews; the reviews themselves are on the tire page.

Now nearly 2 years and 20k miles in. These tires are still as good as they were new and tread has only dropped to 5-6mm all round, suggesting >40,000 miles a set which is more than the OE Pirelli P7 summer tires managed. Have experienced winter slush and light snow without any grip issues, when the car felt stable and safe, but as I live on the south coast with regular trips to family in Yorkshire, they don’t need to be a dedicated winter tire. Economy unchanged around 45mpg overall, 50mpg on a motorway run. For my use, these have been very impressive and I would be happy to replace them with another set, although there may be even better choices in 3 years when these should be just about done.

Michelin CrossClimate 2

  • 2,411,545 milesdriven by reviewers

Owners generally rate the Michelin CrossClimate 2 highly, most often praising its dependable all-weather grip with standout snow traction and strong dry and wet grip for an all-season tire. Comfort is commonly reported as very good and a sizeable minority also find it quiet, though road noise is a recurring talking point with roughly one in eight owners complaining it can hum or rumble. The main consistent drawback is efficiency: around one in seven owners report noticeably worse fuel economy/EV range (rolling resistance). A smaller but meaningful group also criticise wet handling confidence, particularly when pushed, even though straight-line wet grip and aquaplaning resistance tend to be viewed positively.

  • Excellent snow traction and winter security
  • Strong dry grip and traction
  • Confident wet grip in everyday driving
  • Good ride comfort over longer distances
  • Noticeable hit to fuel economy/EV range (higher rolling resistance)
  • Wet handling can feel nervous or lack confidence when cornering/braking
  • Can be louder than expected on certain surfaces or at speed

After 2 hot summers the tires are dangerous on wet and cold,
That was actually very much appreciated since i drive them on a GR Yaris mostly on the weekends in the night on snowfall but normal use would be very very dangerous.

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.

This is a classic “two interpretations of all-season” showdown: the Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 aims to feel like a summer tire in the dry and, especially, the wet, while the Michelin CrossClimate 2 leans heavily into winter competence and efficiency. Across 15 shared professional tests in mainstream passenger-car sizes, the data shows two very consistent personalities rather than two evenly-matched clones.

The headline pattern is stark. The Bridgestone repeatedly dominates wet safety metrics-most notably wet braking-while the Michelin repeatedly dominates snow/ice performance and rolling resistance (fuel economy). If your year-round reality is mostly rain and cool temperatures, Bridgestone's strengths land exactly where day-to-day safety is most often tested. If your winters include frequent snow and you want near-winter-tire confidence without swapping sets, the Michelin's advantage is hard to ignore.

Conclusion

Across the shared tests, Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 is the wet-road specialist. It wins wet braking in every shared comparison (15-0), often by meaningful margins-e.g., 2024 AutoBild 225/50 R17: 50.5 m vs 56.4 m, and 2023 TUV: 27.2 m vs 31.4 m-while also tending to look more secure in wet handling and wet cornering. That translates into a tire that feels reassuring in heavy rain, standing water, and the kind of emergency stops that matter most in everyday driving.

Michelin CrossClimate 2 is the winter-and-efficiency specialist. It consistently leads snow braking/traction/handling (e.g., multiple tests show ~3-10% gains in snow disciplines) and also repeatedly posts substantially lower rolling resistance (often ~5-20% better), with frequent wins in noise and a generally strong wear story in several tests. The trade-off is a recurring theme of weaker wet grip versus the best-seen clearly in tests like ADAC 2025 (wet braking 31.6 m vs 33.6 m) and the large wet-braking gap in AutoBild 2024.

Practical takeaway: if you mostly face wet roads (Atlantic climates, lots of motorway rain, mild winters), the Bridgestone is the safer-feeling all-rounder and often the better value proposition. If you regularly drive in snow/ice or want maximum winter safety and better energy efficiency year-round (especially useful for EVs), the Michelin is the more confidence-inspiring choice-even if you accept that wet braking and wet handling are not its calling cards.

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.
