StrengthsThe Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 stopped shortest in the dry by a clear margin, which is rare for an all season tire. It won both aquaplaning tests, scored second for wet handling, and shared the best snow handling score with the Michelin. It was second for snow braking and snow traction, and it was one of the most comfortable and quietest tires in the test. ConsiderationsThe Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 had no real weakness. Its lowest placing was mid-field in dry handling, where the testers found it dependable rather than sharp, and its rolling resistance was only mid-table.

StrengthsThe Michelin CrossClimate 2 was the only tire rated very good in dry handling, with willing turn-in and a sporty, balanced feel. It had the best winter result of the eight: it stopped shortest on snow, shared the top snow handling score with the Pirelli and was third for snow traction. It was also second for dry braking and had the second lowest rolling resistance. ConsiderationsThe Michelin CrossClimate 2 scored lowest for wet handling. The testers found it could not settle between understeer and oversteer, with the rear coming round on a lift. Its wet braking was among the longer distances in the field, and it was in the lower half in both aquaplaning tests.

StrengthsThe Continental AllSeasonContact 2 stopped shortest in the wet by a clear margin and had by far the strongest snow traction. It also had the lowest rolling resistance in the test and stopped third shortest on snow. The testers found its dry handling predictable. ConsiderationsThe Continental AllSeasonContact 2 was last in both aquaplaning tests and in the bottom three for dry braking. It was the noisiest tire and one of the two least comfortable, and the testers felt it lacked some sparkle in dry handling. Its wet handling score was in the lower half.

StrengthsThe Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen 3 scored highest for wet handling, steering accurately and staying stable under braking. It was second for wet braking and in curved aquaplaning, and third in straight aquaplaning. Its snow handling was third best, and it was rated good for comfort and noise. ConsiderationsThe Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen 3 was only mid-field for dry braking, and it had the second highest rolling resistance. Its winter results were satisfactory rather than good: its snow traction was mid-pack and its snow braking in the lower half, and the testers found it slightly behind the leaders for grip on snow.

StrengthsThe Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 was strong in summer conditions. It was one of the four best wet braking tires, the third shortest stopper in the dry and fourth in both aquaplaning tests. It scored well for wet handling and stopped as well as the Goodyear on snow. ConsiderationsThe Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 scored lowest for dry handling, where the testers felt it lacked some precision. On snow it was in the lower half for both traction and handling, and the testers marked it down for its lateral grip and its breakaway at the limit. Score contributionCategory score × of overall score Dry93.57 × 27% = 25.26 Wet93.6 × 37% = 34.63 Snow92.64 × 26% = 24.09 Comfort92.59 × 5% = 4.63 Rolling Resistance87.01 × 5% = 4.35 | ||||||||||||||||||||

StrengthsThe Vredestein Quatrac was among the quietest and most comfortable tires in the test, absorbing rough surfaces well. It was third for wet handling and had the third lowest rolling resistance. ConsiderationsThe Vredestein Quatrac stopped longest on snow, and its snow traction and snow handling were only mid-pack. It was among the longer stopping tires in the dry and the wet, and it was in the bottom two in both aquaplaning tests. The testers felt it lacked some precision in dry handling.

StrengthsThe Hankook Kinergy 4S2 was second in straight aquaplaning and third in curved aquaplaning. It was among the better tires for dry braking, and the testers liked its keen turn-in in dry handling, where it scored third best. ConsiderationsThe Hankook Kinergy 4S2 was weakest on snow, with the lowest snow handling score and the lowest snow traction. The testers felt it did not give the driver enough confidence on snow. It was also the least comfortable tire and one of the two noisiest, and its wet braking and wet handling were in the lower half. Score contributionCategory score × of overall score Dry93.05 × 27% = 25.12 Wet91.44 × 37% = 33.83 Snow90.86 × 26% = 23.62 Comfort88.27 × 5% = 4.41 Rolling Resistance82.72 × 5% = 4.14 | ||||||||||||||||||||

StrengthsThe Falken Euroall Season AS210 was the quietest and most comfortable tire in the test. It scored second for dry handling, with keen turn-in, and its snow braking was mid-field. ConsiderationsThe Falken Euroall Season AS210 stopped longest in both the dry and the wet, and it had the highest rolling resistance by a clear margin. On snow it was second to last for traction and handling, with imprecise steering. The testers found its wet handling unsettled, with the rear coming round on a lift.

These are calculated scenarios, not new test awards. The published verdict may reflect judgement, close results and factors outside this calculation.
Not ranked: a measurement needed for these weights is missing. Missing results are not treated as zero or redistributed.
Reference tires provide context only. They do not set the benchmark and cannot win the personalised ranking.
Weighting vs real impact
What decides this ranking
The weighting is how much each category counts. The real impact is how much of the difference between the tires it creates: a discipline in which every tire performed about the same barely changes the order, however much it counts.
No weighting is recorded for this test, so the weighting here starts from Tire Reviews’ season defaults, not from the test’s own scoring.
- Dry Weighting 27% Real impact 22%
- Wet Weighting 37% Real impact 45%
- Snow Weighting 26% Real impact 21%
- Comfort Weighting 5% Real impact 6%
- Rolling Resistance Weighting 5% Real impact 7%
- Curved Aquaplaning counts for 5.2% of the score but creates 11% of the difference between the tires, because their results in it were far apart.
- Snow Braking counts for 12.2% of the score but creates only 3% of the difference, because most tires performed about the same in it.

How it is worked out: each discipline’s weighting is multiplied by the spread of its results (the gap across the middle half of the tires, as a percentage of the best result), then shared out so that all the disciplines add up to 100%. It estimates what separates the tires; it is not a second set of weights, and it follows the weights you set.
How your ranking is calculated
Each discipline is scored against the best non-reference tire in the full test field: best ÷ result × 100 when lower is better, or result ÷ best × 100 when higher is better. Discipline scores are rounded to two decimal places, then combined using your weights.
Within-category weights divide that category’s share of the overall score. A 50% wet category and 40% wet-braking share give wet braking 20% of the total. A weight is a scoring priority, not a measure of its actual effect on the ranking: the performance gaps matter too. What decides this ranking ↑
Published joint positions are preserved separately. Calculated positions tie only when their underlying scores match; two displayed scores can look equal after rounding.
A zero weight excludes that category or discipline. At least one active discipline is required, and the disciplines in every active category must have a positive total.
