Auto Bild has published the full results of its 2026 all-season tire test in 225/45 R17, a size fitted to compact cars such as the VW Golf, Audi A3, Seat Leon, Skoda Octavia and Hyundai i30. Thirty tires started in a wet and dry braking qualifier, and the 15 with the shortest combined stopping distances went through to the full test on snow, wet and dry roads, with tread wear, rolling resistance and running cost making up a separate cost chapter. The test cars were a VW Golf and a VW Golf GTI, and a summer tire and a winter tire were run alongside as references.
The new Goodyear Vector All Season 4 won, which Auto Bild counts as the tire's second test win of the season after its SUV test in 225/55 R18, with the most snow traction of any tire and, by Auto Bild's account, only a mid-field tread life to count against it. The new Vredestein Quatrac Pro 2 and the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 shared second, and only these three earned Auto Bild's top "exemplary" verdict. The Vredestein was the best tire on snow, stopping shorter and lapping faster than the winter reference, while the Michelin CrossClimate 3 finished fourth, strong on snow but weaker in the wet. Five tires were marked down under Auto Bild's safety rule, including the Dunlop All Season 2, which had the longest dry braking of the all-season tires but was second for both tread life and running cost. The Nexen N'Blue 4Season 2 finished last, the only tire rated "satisfactory", after the lowest snow score in the test.

The full test follows Auto Bild's braking qualifier, which we covered in our report on the 30-tire qualifier, and the wet and dry braking distances below are the same measurements. The snow tests were run at the Southern Hemisphere Proving Grounds near Wanaka in New Zealand, the wet and dry tests at the ÖAMTC Wachauring near Melk in Austria, and the tread wear was measured by the engineering firm IFV after 8,078 miles of driving on each tire. Auto Bild also notes that Dunlop and Falken now both belong to Sumitomo Rubber, and the two finished first and second for tread life. This is our summary of the headline results; for every grade, the weighting and Auto Bild's methodology, see the original test.
Snow
The Vredestein stopped shortest on snow, with the Dunlop second, and both stopped shorter than the winter reference. The Michelin and Firestone were next. The Toyo and Nexen needed the most room of the all-season tires, and the summer reference took almost twice the Vredestein's distance.

The difference between best and worst was 92.4% (76 ft ≈ 5.1 Car Lengths). From 80 mph, the Toyo Celsius AS2 would still be travelling at 33 mph when the Vredestein Quatrac Pro 2 had stopped.
Residual speed is calculated from the measured braking distances, assuming constant deceleration; it is not a separate measurement.
The Goodyear pulled hardest on snow, with the Michelin second, and both out-pulled the winter reference, which the Vredestein only just missed. The Toyo and Nexen had the least traction of the all-season tires, and the summer reference managed around half the Goodyear's pulling force.

The Vredestein was also fastest round the snow handling course, just ahead of the Michelin, and both lapped faster than the winter reference, with the Goodyear and Continental close behind it. The Nokian, Toyo and Nexen were the slowest. Auto Bild did not run the summer reference here: with front-wheel drive, the car got stuck on its way to the course.

The Vredestein held the most grip in the snow slalom as well, ahead of the Michelin and Dunlop, and eight of the 15 all-season tires beat the winter reference here. The Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6, so strong on dry roads, held the second-least grip of the all-season tires, ahead of only the Nexen, and it was also in the bottom three for snow braking.

Wet
The summer reference stopped shortest in the wet, but the Toyo Celsius AS2 was only a meter behind it and the best of the all-season tires, ahead of the Vredestein and Bridgestone. That is a big change for the Toyo, which was 14th of 15 for wet braking in Auto Bild's 2025 all-season test and 13th of 15 in the 2024 edition. The Michelin, Nexen and Kleber needed the most room of the all-season tires; the Michelin's result matches our own 2026/27 all-season test, where it was ninth of ten for wet braking. The winter reference stopped furthest of all, more than 20 feet behind the summer tire.

In straight-line aquaplaning the summer reference was best, with the Ceat 4 SeasonDrive X5, the cheapest tire in the test, a close second and the best of the all-season tires, ahead of the Bridgestone, Goodyear and Toyo. That reverses the Ceat's result in Auto Bild's 2025 test, where it was 14th of 15 for straight-line aquaplaning. The Continental and Firestone floated earliest of the all-season tires, and the winter reference was the first of all.

The summer reference stopped around 7 feet shorter on dry roads than any all-season tire. The Bridgestone was the best of the all-season tires, a fraction ahead of the Ceat, with the Pirelli third. The Dunlop needed the most room of the all-season tires and the Uniroyal the second most, and both were marked down for it under Auto Bild's safety rule. For the Dunlop this is a pattern: it was also last of the all-season tires for dry braking in ADAC's 2026 all-season test and in Auto Bild's 2025 test. Only the winter reference stopped further.

For tread life, IFV drove 8,078 miles on every tire and projected the distance to the legal minimum tread depth on the driven axle. The Falken Euroall Season AS220 and the Dunlop were well clear of the rest, with the Toyo and Ceat next, while the Uniroyal AllSeasonExpert 3 had the shortest projected life, behind the Bridgestone and Vredestein.

Auto Bild also weighed the rubber each tire lost over the wear test. The Falken lost the least, with the Nexen and Dunlop next, and the Vredestein lost the most by a clear margin. The two rankings don't always line up, since tread life is projected from the depth of tread worn away rather than the weight of rubber lost: the Nexen was second for abrasion but fifth for tread life, and the Ceat was among the heaviest losers yet fourth for tread life.

Dividing the set price by the projected tread life gives the running cost per kilometer. The Falken and Dunlop were the cheapest to run, with the Ceat, the cheapest tire to buy, third. The Michelin, the most expensive set in the test, was the most expensive to run by a clear margin, ahead of the Continental.

The difference between best and worst was 79.5% (3.56 Price/1000). Over 25,000 miles the cheapest tire to own (Dunlop All Season 2) works out €266 cheaper than the most expensive (Ceat 4 SeasonDrive X5).
How this is calculated
Assumes a typical car doing 29 mpg (rolling resistance causing 20% of fuel use), fuel at €6.25 per gallon and €70 fitting per set of four. Purchase prices are from the time of the 2026 test; financing costs are excluded.
Compared with Auto Bild's SUV test
Eight of these tires were also in Auto Bild's SUV all-season test in 225/55 R18, published a week earlier, and the top of the order held up. The Goodyear won both tests, the Vredestein shared second in both, and the Michelin was fourth in both. The Pirelli moved up from fifth to joint second, while the Continental, joint second in the SUV size, dropped to joint fifth here after weaker aquaplaning and dry braking results. The Nokian was the fastest all-season tire on the wet handling course in both tests, and the Dunlop had the longest dry braking of the all-season tires in both.
Results
The Goodyear Vector All Season 4 wins as the most complete tire in the test, with the most snow traction, a top-five place among the all-season tires in every wet test and the second-fastest dry handling, and Auto Bild's only criticism is its mid-field tread life. The Vredestein Quatrac Pro 2 shares second as the best tire on snow and the quietest, though it wears faster than most, and the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 shares it by matching the winner's grades for wet, dry and cost while giving a little away on snow. The Michelin CrossClimate 3 remains a strong choice for snow but costs the most to buy and to run. Five tires lost ground to Auto Bild's safety rule: the Dunlop and Uniroyal for dry braking, the Toyo and Nexen on snow, and the Firestone for aquaplaning. The penalty cost the Dunlop a place in the top five, and the Toyo, the best of the all-season tires in the wet, would otherwise have finished level with the four tires in seventh. All 15 tires passed Auto Bild's high-speed test. For the full scoring, every grade and Auto Bild's methodology, read the original test.
