Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 vs Michelin CrossClimate 2

This head-to-head puts two reference all-season touring tires under the microscope: Bridgestone's Turanza All Season 6 versus Michelin's CrossClimate 2. Across 12 shared tests from ADAC, Auto Bild, Sport Auto and more, they trade blows in very different conditions, revealing two clear personalities. Bridgestone consistently excels in wet and summer-like driving, while Michelin doubles down on winter assurance and efficiency.

Expect the Bridgestone to set the pace in wet braking and overall wet handling (clean sweeps in multiple test groups), often feeling closest to a summer tire. The Michelin counters with class-leading snow and ice performance, lower noise and rolling resistance, plus strong longevity-making it the all-weather comfort and economy specialist.

While it might look like the Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 is better than the Michelin CrossClimate 2 purely based on the higher number of test wins, tires are very complicated objects which means where one tire is better than the other can be more important in real world use.

Let's look at how the two tires compare across multiple tire test categories.

Key Strengths

  • Class-leading wet braking across all shared tests; frequent wet handling wins
  • Summer-tire-like steering feel and dry/wet dynamics
  • Strong straight and curved aquaplaning resistance
  • Good value proposition with competitive pricing and low wear in several tests
  • Benchmark winter ability: repeated wins in snow braking, traction and handling, plus ice braking
  • Low rolling resistance and lower noise; efficient and refined
  • Consistently strong tread life/abrasion results
  • Stable, safe handling with precise feedback; strong dry braking in several tests

Hi, I've done around 500km on new Turanza, mainly in city. I've got Mondeo mk4 1.6TDCI after chip. I've used previously Vredestein Quatrac Pro. I've have tested so far Bridgestone on the dry and wet in 20-5C. So far they more comfortable than Vredestein Quatrac Pro, noise is around the same (so they rather quiet tires - I've been using 225/50 R17 (not a standard Mondeo mk4, but similiar size (a bit bigger than standard 215/50R17 and smaller than next standard tire 235/45R18))). On dry Bridgestones are more gripper than Vredestein and on wet the are excellent compared to Vredestein. On Quatrac... Continue reading this review using the link below

Car = 2014 Infiniti Q60 AWD (aka G37 Coupe / CV36 Skyline - RWD bias ATTESA AWD) Overall, pleased with the tire as I wanted a comfortable tire with long tread life and a true "All-Season" tire for the winter months as I have not yet purchased a set of dedicated summer wheels/tires yet. Coming from previous Michelin Pilot Sport AS3+ which lasted around 52k of 45k mile rating with sometimes spirited driving, so have no reason to doubt Michelin's tread ware claims, at least on my vehicle. Handling in the dry, the AS3+ was better when taking curves/turns and activated the VDC/TCS less often,... Continue reading this review using the link below

Conclusion

Synthesis across tests is unambiguous: if your priority is rain safety and confident, summer-like dynamics, the Turanza All Season 6 is the stronger choice. It dominates wet braking in every shared test, often by meaningful margins (up to ~10-13%), and frequently tops wet handling and wet circle metrics. Dry performance is neck-and-neck with small swings either way.

If you regularly face snow and ice, the CrossClimate 2 is the safer bet. It repeatedly wins snow braking, traction, and handling, and is quieter with notably lower rolling resistance and typically better abrasion/wear results. Value tilts either way depending on metric: Bridgestone often buys more stopping power per euro and decent mileage; Michelin tends to cost more upfront but offsets with efficiency and tread life. The practical takeaway: pick Bridgestone for mild-to-wet climates and dynamic feel, Michelin for four-season versatility with winter confidence and efficiency.
Key Differences
  • Wet safety: Bridgestone dominates wet braking (e.g., −10.5% vs Michelin in AB 2024; −13.4% in TÜV) and often wet handling
  • Winter performance: Michelin leads snow/ice across tests (e.g., best overall snow in multiple 2024/2025 comparisons)
  • Efficiency and comfort: Michelin is quieter with much lower rolling resistance; Bridgestone has higher RR and firmer ride
  • Aquaplaning split: Bridgestone usually stronger overall, though Michelin occasionally edges straight-line float speeds

Footnote

This page has been developed using tire industry testing best practices. This means we are only comparing tests which have had both tires in the same test.

Why is this important? Tire testing is heavily affected by things like surface grip levels and surface temperature, which means you can only compare values from the same day. During a tire test external condition changes are calculated into the overall results, but it is not possible to calculate this between tire tests performed on different days or at different locations.

As a result you will see other tests on Tire Reviews which feature both the %s and %s, but as they weren't conducted on the same day, the results are not comparable.

Lots of other websites do this sort of tire comparison, Tire Reviews doesn't.
