Data updated
Which should you buy?
Choose the Michelin CrossClimate 3 Sport if you want the strongest all-round performance with better winter traction/handling and clearly better efficiency (lower rolling resistance), especially for higher mileage or performance-oriented driving. Choose the Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 if your priority is strong dry braking and maximum aquaplaning security for wet motorways in a mostly mild climate where deep water is a bigger concern than frequent snow.
Where the Turanza All Season 6 is stronger
- Consistently strong dry braking across tests (wins 5/6 dry-braking comparisons; often ~0.8-1.8% shorter stops)
- Class-leading aquaplaning resistance in shared data (wins all straight and curved aquaplaning results)
- Strong wet-circle/lateral wet grip results (wins wet circle in multiple tests)
Where the CrossClimate 3 Sport is stronger
- Best-in-class rolling resistance/efficiency in every shared test (typically ~12-16% lower than Bridgestone)
- More consistent winter performance, especially snow traction and generally quicker snow handling (wins snow traction 5/5; commonly +6-11%)
- Very strong wet braking in the aggregate (wins/near-wins; notably +3.3% in 2026/27 test and best-in-test in that report)

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

Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6
- 79%from 44 reviews
- 76%would buy again
- 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.
All 44 Turanza All Season 6 reviewsNow 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.

Owners rate the Michelin CrossClimate 3 Sport very highly overall (86.1% average; 18 of 20 positive), most consistently praising how quiet and comfortable it is while still delivering strong, predictable grip in both the dry and the wet. Around half of reviewers mention the low road noise and smooth ride, and many also highlight confident dry performance and wet traction that feels close to a summer UHP tire for everyday driving. Downsides are less common, but around one in seven owners raise faster-than-expected wear, and around one in ten criticise the lack of rim protection.
- Quiet on the road, even at speed
- Smooth, comfortable ride
- Strong, predictable dry grip
- Confident wet grip and traction
- Faster-than-expected tread wear for some owners
- Little to no rim protection / exposed rims
- Steering feel not as sharp for everyone

All 24 CrossClimate 3 Sport reviewsFitted on my Golf 7.5 GTI Performance as a replacement for a winter tire (Zagreb, Croatia - there hasn't been much snow in a couple of years, only wet conditions).
So far so good - only down side for now is noise. They are louder than most of the tires I have driven on. Speaking as someone who has Bridgestone Potenza Evo Sport summer time.
Feedback on the steering wheel is good, sharp.Looks good on the car with their sporty side wall.
I will get back on this review after this winter and some snow potential.

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 matchup is an interesting “touring all-season vs performance all-season” comparison in the same popular hot-hatch size (225/40 R18). The Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 is tuned as a premium-touring, comfort-and-stability road tire, while the Michelin CrossClimate 3 Sport is explicitly positioned as an ultra-high-performance (UHP) all-season that aims to feel more like a summer tire on dry roads without giving up true all-season capability.
Across six shared tests, the Michelin takes the overall result more often (typically placing 2nd-3rd where the Bridgestone lands around 5th-6th), but the story isn't a simple “Michelin wins everything.” The Bridgestone repeatedly shows real strengths in standing-water security (straight/curved aquaplaning) and frequently edges dry braking, while the Michelin more consistently delivers snow traction/handling and dramatically better rolling resistance (efficiency). Which one is “better” depends heavily on whether your real-world risk is deep water and motorway stability, or winter grip and running costs.
Conclusion
On balance, the Michelin CrossClimate 3 Sport is the more complete high-performing all-season in these datasets: it wins the majority of shared tests overall (5 vs 1) and repeatedly combines top-tier wet braking with class-leading rolling resistance. That efficiency gap is not subtle-typically ~12-16% lower rolling resistance (e.g., 7.56 vs 8.99 kg/t; 7.71 vs 9.05; 7.39 vs 8.41), which can translate into meaningful fuel/energy savings over high mileage. It also shows the more convincing winter package in most results, especially traction (often +6-11% better than the Bridgestone) and generally faster snow handling, even if some reports note a less progressive recovery once it lets go on looser snow.
The Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6's case is more specialized but still compelling for the right buyer. It is very often the better dry braker (wins 5 of 6 shared dry-braking results) and it is consistently the safer-feeling option in standing water, sweeping straight and curved aquaplaning in every shared test. In other words, if your “bad weather” is heavy rain at speed, the Bridgestone's extra hydroplaning margin is a practical advantage. The drawback is that the Bridgestone pays for that security and grip with higher rolling resistance (running cost) and, depending on the test, it can be notably weaker on snow traction/handling than the Michelin.
Practical takeaway: CrossClimate 3 Sport is the smarter one-tire solution for drivers who want sporty steering, strong wet stops, real winter capability and lower energy use-especially on powerful or EV-leaning use cases where efficiency matters. Turanza All Season 6 is the rain-and-motorway confidence pick (plus strong dry braking) for milder climates where snow is occasional and you value aquaplaning resistance over snow traction and operating cost.

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.
