Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 vs Michelin CrossClimate 3
Test Results
Independent comparison tire tests are the best source of data to get tire information from, and the good news is there have been three tests which compare both tires directly!
| Tire | Test Wins | Performance |
|---|---|---|
| Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 | two | |
| Michelin CrossClimate 3 | one |
While it might look like the Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 is better than the Michelin CrossClimate 3 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.

Conclusion
For mixed or cold climates with regular snow, the CrossClimate 3 earns the nod. It repeatedly tops snow braking, traction, handling, and circle tests, rides quieter and more comfortably, and should last longer while using less fuel thanks to lower rolling resistance. You trade some wet margin for superior winter security and long-term running costs.
Bottom line: pick Bridgestone for rain-soaked commutes and lively feel in mild winters; pick Michelin for real winter capability, refinement, and endurance.

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.
