Every year, the German publication Auto Bild selects a tire size, finds as many all season tires as possible in that size, and tests them all in dry and wet braking, with the top 14 tires proceeding to the full all season tire test.

For the 2020 all season tire test, Auto Bild rounded up 34 all season tires in the common 205/55 R16 size, and a summer and winter tire as reference.

This is the best overview of the all season tire market we will get all year, and make sure you come back to Tire Reviews tomorrow for the full test, where the top 14 will be put through a full range of dry, wet and snow testing.

Autoklub ČR 2020 all season tire test has Kormoran All Season being practically on par with Hanook H750 kinergy 4S2. Wondering if you have some info on those tires since tests and reviews are a bit sparse but can be had for quite cheaper. Thanks

    Try the mirror here in EN: https://www.thetirelab.com/... or here in CZ but with tables for the wet, dry, snow and the video: https://pneumagazin.cz/velk...
    Professional recent test of 9 winter and 7 all seasons tires, popular dimension 205/55 R16, presented by Autožurnál.

      Interesting test, thanks for the links. Strange they used the Gen-2 Goodyear. The overall results presented together is very unusual.
      I don't yet have any information on the Kormoran, however I would be surprised if they were on par with the Hankook in all areas.

It would be interesting to see this test with the 195/65/15 size of tire.
I ask as the Yokohama BluEarth 4S AW21 is TUV Sud approved in that size.
And I also own a set for my Skoda Octavia Combi
