Auto Bild's 2025 All Season Camper Van Tire Test evaluated 9 all-season tires in size 245/45 R18, alongside reference summer and winter tires. The test revealed significant performance differences across the all-season field, with gaps of up to 32 feet in wet braking and 7.7 mph in aquaplaning resistance. While the best all-season tires approached or exceeded the reference tires in certain conditions, the results highlight the importance of choosing quality products within the all-season category.

Dry

In dry braking, the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 led the all-season field with a stopping distance of 129 feet from 62 mph. The worst performer, Rotalla Setula 4 Season RA03, required 149 feet - a 20 feet difference. The reference summer tire stopped in 120 feet, significantly outperforming all all-season tires, while the reference winter tire needed 150 feet.

The difference between best and worst was 25.1% (30 ft ≈ 2 Car Lengths). From 80 mph, the Rotalla Setula 4 Season RA03 would still be travelling at 29 mph when the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 had stopped.

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

Dry handling showed the Hankook Kinergy 4S2 achieving the highest average speed among all-season tires at 51.4 mph, followed by Continental at 51.3 mph. The Triangle SeasonX TA01 was slowest at 49.0 mph. The reference summer tire achieved 51.7 mph, outperforming all all-season tires, while the reference winter tire managed 49.3 mph.

Results

Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 emerges as the overall test winner with an "exemplary" rating. This tire demonstrates exceptional balance across all driving conditions, performing as the best candidate on wet surfaces while matching the top competitors on dry pavement. The Pirelli offers excellent safety reserves for both handling and braking across all road conditions, making it a standout performer. However, it comes with a high price point and shows slightly weaker performance on snow compared to the equally exemplary Michelin.

Michelin CrossClimate 2 achieves an "exemplary" rating and excels particularly in winter conditions, actually outperforming the reference winter tire in snow testing three times. This tire impresses with its balanced performance characteristics, low rolling resistance, and corresponding fuel-saving potential. The Michelin represents remarkable progress in all-season tire development. Its main weakness lies in slightly inferior aquaplaning behavior compared to other top performers.

Vredestein Quatrac Pro+ receives a "satisfactory" rating as the most affordable brand-name tire in the test. It delivers balanced performance on wet and dry surfaces, making it a reasonable budget option among established brands. However, the tire shows minor weaknesses in curve aquaplaning and provides only moderate performance levels on snow-covered surfaces.

Triangle SeasonX TA01 achieves a "satisfactory" rating despite its low price point. The tire offers only satisfactory performance on snow and dry surfaces but impresses with low pass-by noise levels. However, it suffers from limited grip levels on wet surfaces and shows weaknesses in snow traction and dry handling, making it suitable only for budget-conscious buyers with limited performance requirements.

Rotalla Setula 4 Season RA03 earns a "satisfactory" rating with its main advantage being the low purchase price. It provides good safety reserves on dry surfaces and performs adequately in snow braking. However, the tire demonstrates weak performance potential in snow conditions and on wet surfaces, limiting its overall capabilities and making it suitable primarily for cost-sensitive applications where performance is not the primary concern.

Jonathan I'm afraid this review badly needs a recheck!
Since the reference tires' results are wrongly assigned, all tires' scores are shifted
(even though the order seems to fit otherwise).

  Thanks, you're right, the data is all over the place.
  Will fix ASAP.

  I couldn't sleep on it - it's now fixed. Thanks again.

The "Dry Handling" graphic may not be right. In the text we can read about the average speed but the graphic shows time (seconds), meaning the tires should have been located the other way around in the graphic, right?

  Thank you so much for pointing that out, fat fingers in the backend. I've reassigned the data to average speed.

    I think you missed it again. Now the graphic is still in seconds and the Triangle doesn´t seem to be the worst as described in the upper test even if we consider the measure is speed or time.

What on Earth was the summer tire I wonder? I find its performance profile compared to the AS tires quite bewildering. Perhaps a Double Coin type?

  Could it just be the temperature they tested on? Summer tires never behave properly in the cold, specially in the wet.

    Autobild don't announce what summer tire they use but it is usually premium. It could be that it was a van / commercial summer tire.

      Another point (van tires are awful). I can't see why tests don't tell us what the tires are.

    a point
    I wish the test was explicit about temperature-

  turns out the data was a mess, sorry. The correct data should now be online (it might need a ctrl+f5 refresh)
