The full test

The evidence behind the verdict

AUTO BILD has completed their comprehensive 2025 all-season tire test in the popular 225/40 R18 size, evaluating 30 models with the top 15 advancing to full testing. In a surprising turn of events, the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF 3 claimed overall victory, while Michelin's highly anticipated new CrossClimate 3 range delivered mixed results.

The Michelin Surprise

The tire industry typically expects Michelin to dominate all-season tire tests, making the CrossClimate 3's performance particularly noteworthy. Michelin took an innovative approach this year, introducing two distinct variants: the standard CrossClimate 3 and the CrossClimate 3 Sport.

The standard CrossClimate 3 excelled in snow conditions, actually outperforming all other all-season tires in winter testing. It achieved the best scores in snow handling (33.6 mph average speed), snow braking (73ft from 31 mph), and snow traction (2992 N). However, this winter focus came at a cost - the tire showed notable weaknesses in wet conditions, particularly in handling and on the wet circle track, finishing only 7th overall.

The CrossClimate 3 Sport performed better in wet and dry conditions but couldn't match the top performers overall, placing 3rd. While it delivered the sportier handling Michelin intended, it recorded the highest cost per kilometer of all tested tires, making it an expensive choice for consumers.

Top Performers and Notable Results

The Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF 3 achieved victory through exceptional balance rather than dominating any single category. It performed consistently well across all conditions without any significant weaknesses apart from higher wear rates.

Continental's AllSeasonContact 2 secured second place with well-rounded performance, while the Vredestein Quatrac impressed as the wet-weather champion among all-seasons, achieving the best combined wet scores.

Budget options showed mixed results. The Ceat 4 SeasonDrive X5 surprised with short braking distances across all conditions at just €330 per set. However, the cheapest tire tested - the Roadhog RGAS02 at €290 - proved that extreme budget options compromise too much safety, particularly in wet and snow conditions.

Wear rates varied dramatically. The Dunlop All Season 2 projected an impressive 42,626 miles lifespan, while the budget Roadhog managed only 26,750 miles. This translates to potentially needing two sets of budget tires for every set of Dunlops, negating any initial purchase price savings.

Conclusions

AUTO BILD's test reveals that premium all-season tires have narrowed the performance gap with specialized summer and winter tires considerably. The best all-seasons now deliver 85-95% of dedicated winter tire performance in snow and achieve nearly summer-tire levels of wet performance.

Michelin's dual-model strategy with the CrossClimate 3 presents an interesting market approach, though neither variant claimed top honors. The standard model's exceptional winter performance makes it ideal for severe winter regions, while the Sport variant suits drivers prioritizing dynamic handling.

For most drivers, the test suggests that premium all-seasons from Pirelli, Continental, Michelin, and Vredestein now offer genuinely viable year-round performance. The technology has matured to where the convenience of not changing tires seasonally no longer requires significant safety compromises - provided buyers avoid the lowest-tier budget options.

The Continental AllSeasonContact 2 proves itself as a well-balanced multi-talent with convincing performance across all road conditions. This tire delivers strong driving dynamics and maintains composure in varied weather scenarios, making it a reliable choice for year-round use. Continental has created a tire that doesn't excel in any single area but performs admirably in all conditions. The main drawback is a slightly limited mileage capability, which means drivers may need to replace them sooner than some competitors.

225/40 R18 92Y XL
Ceat 4 SeasonDrive X5
Auto Bild Good gut
The Ceat 4 SeasonDrive X5 emerges as a budget surprise, delivering impressively short braking distances across all road conditions. This Indian-manufactured tire punches above its weight class, offering genuine all-season capability at an attractive price point. While it performs admirably in most conditions, it shows slight weakness in aquaplaning resistance, requiring extra caution in heavy rain situations.

Kleber Quadraxer 3

Kleber Quadraxer 3
Auto Bild Good gut
The Kleber Quadraxer 3, as Michelin's budget sub-brand, proves to be a snow talent and the best second-tier brand from a premium manufacturer in the test. This tire inherits some of Michelin's winter expertise, delivering strong cold-weather performance at a more accessible price point. However, it's somewhat weaker in dry conditions and suffers from increased rolling resistance, leading to higher fuel consumption.

The Sailun Atrezzo 4Seasons Ultra positions itself as an economy champion with low rolling resistance and balanced wet-weather performance.

Dunlop All Season 2
The Dunlop All Season 2 claims the title of endurance champion, offering exceptional mileage that makes it very attractive from a cost perspective. Despite being one of the older designs in the test, it maintains respectable performance levels. The tire's main achievement is its outstanding wear resistance, though this comes with some compromise in dry handling and aquaplaning resistance.

The Linglong Sport Master 4S performs as a dry-weather specialist that also handles wet conditions sovereignly, all at an attractive purchase price. This Chinese tire offers surprisingly competent dry handling for its price point, making it appealing for fair-weather drivers. However, its overall weaker performance on snow limits its appeal as a true all-season solution.

Roadhog RGAS02

225/40 R18 92Y XL
Roadhog RGAS02
The Roadhog RGAS02, despite its budget pricing, cannot be recommended for serious all-season use. While it offers respectable dry performance for its extremely low price, it shows significant weaknesses in snow and wet conditions that compromise safety. The high wear rate further diminishes its value proposition, making it a false economy despite the attractive initial purchase price.

    If i wanted a tire to go a bit off road-ish a few days per month, anticipate some mud maybe, dirt roads etc but mainly driven on road on dry and maybe some wet, would the Linglong Spot Master 4S be a proper choice sacrificing some dry/wet performance. No snow capabilities required, noise etc no concern. Tire size 185/60/15.

      That depends how much you value puncture resistance. If you want some peace of mind a mild all terrain tire is the only choice for offroading.

        Since I do some agricultural activities a couple days each month Including heavy loads in <3km dirt roads, I do mind the puncture resistance. Been using the Firestone Roadhawk though with the thinest of sidewalls and never had a problem. Only with mud or some fresh ploughed soil. I am considering switching to some harder sidewall mid range all season and seen all your videos. Linglong or Ceat looks decent enough and quite cheaper than the Debica, Falken or the Hankook, but that scares me too.

    I don't understand the wet results in relation to the EU tire labels.
    The Continental AllSeasonContact 2 has a B for wet performance on the EU label, yet it scores better in this test than the Michelin CrossClimate 3 Sport which has an A for wet performance on the EU label. Same for the Vredestein Quatrac that scores best in the wet in this test yet only gets a B for wet performance on the EU label.
    How can this be?

      Some brands are more cautious with their label scores than others. You're allowed to downgrade your results if you want.

    Shouldn't best Dry Braking be 38.1M? There’s no tire in this test with 34.8 M dry braking.

      In which section? 34.8 was the reference summer tire, it should be excluded from most calculations but I had a site update go wrong recently so need to double check everyone is seeing the same thing.
