2020 Commercial Van All Season Tire Test

Compare each discipline in the tested size. See the measured result, position and gap to the best tire, then read the verdict for the trade-offs behind the finishing order.

Tested size: 225/70 R15C
Tires tested: 7
Disciplines: 9

Read the measurements, not just the rank

Lower is better for braking distances and lap times; higher is better for subjective scores and aquaplaning speed. Bars start at zero. Read the gap alongside the position: adjacent tires can be separated by very different margins.

Positions and gaps always refer to the full test field within each group. Selecting tires does not recalculate rankings or change the best-in-test benchmark.

Dry

Dry Braking
Position / Tire	Result	Gap to best	Residual speed
1Michelin Agilis CrossClimate	144 ft	Best	0 mph
2Pirelli Carrier All Season	152 ft	+8 ft	19 mph
3Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Cargo	158 ft	+14 ft	24 mph
4Maxxis VanSmart AS AL2	161 ft	+17 ft	26 mph
5Falken EuroAll Season Van11	161 ft	+17 ft	27 mph
6Continental VanContact 4Season	162 ft	+18 ft	27 mph
7Vredestein Comtrac 2 All Season	165 ft	+21 ft	29 mph

The difference between best and worst was 15.1% (21 ft ≈ 1.5 Car Lengths). From 80 mph, the Vredestein Comtrac 2 All Season would still be travelling at 29 mph when the Michelin Agilis CrossClimate had stopped.

Residual speed is calculated from the measured braking distances, assuming constant deceleration; it is not a separate measurement.

Set my vehicle consumption

Estimates based on typical driving conditions. Rolling resistance accounts for approximately 20% of IC vehicle fuel consumption and 25% of EV energy consumption. Actual savings vary based on driving style, vehicle weight, road conditions, and tire age. For comparative purposes only. Lifetime savings based on a 40,000km / 25,000 mile tread life.
