2026 Auto Bild Allrad SUV All Season Tire Test

Auto Bild Allrad has tested twelve all-season tires in 225/55 R18, a size used on many compact and mid-size SUVs such as the BMW X1 and X2, Dacia Bigster, Jeep Compass and Volvo EX30, on a third-generation Mini Countryman. The snow tests were run at the Southern Hemisphere Proving Grounds in New Zealand and the wet and dry tests at Triwo's Pferdsfeld site in Germany. The field includes three new patterns from Goodyear, Vredestein and Cooper alongside the established premium tires, the Hankook-owned Laufenn and two low-cost tires from Delinte and Triangle, with set prices from 280 to 680 euros. A summer tire and a winter tire were run alongside as references.

The new Goodyear Vector All Season 4 took the win, with the most snow traction of any tire, the second-best wet braking, wet handling and wet circle results of the all-season tires, and the quickest dry handling of them. The Continental AllSeasonContact 2 and the new Vredestein Quatrac Pro 2 shared second place, and all three earned Auto Bild's top "exemplary" verdict. The Michelin CrossClimate 3 was the best tire on snow, beating even the winter reference in all four snow tests, but longer wet braking left it fourth. At the other end, the low-cost Delinte AW6 and Triangle SeasonX TA01 were the weakest tires in the wet, with by far the longest wet braking distances.

All-season tires are now the biggest seller in Germany's replacement market: figures from the German tire trade association quoted by Auto Bild show they outsold winter tires there for the first time last year. The two references show where the compromise now sits. The summer tire was the best in every wet and dry braking and handling test, but on snow it was barely usable, and Auto Bild judged it too dangerous to drive on the snow handling course. The winter tire did not have the snow to itself: the Michelin beat it in all four snow tests and the Goodyear in three, while it resisted aquaplaning better than any tire in the test and stopped further on dry roads than every all-season tire bar one. Auto Bild also marked five tires down under its safety rule, which adds a penalty when a tire scores poorly in a safety-relevant test, and in all five cases the trigger was braking, on wet or dry roads. This is our summary of the headline results; for every grade, the full scoring and Auto Bild's methodology, see the original test.

Snow

The Michelin stopped shortest on snow by almost a meter, with the new Cooper next and the Laufenn, Dunlop and Vredestein sharing third. Five all-season tires stopped shorter than the winter reference. The Pirelli and Delinte were the weakest of the all-season tires, and the summer reference needed nearly three times the Michelin's distance.

The Goodyear produced the most traction on snow, with the Michelin second, and both pulled harder than the winter reference. The Nokian and Delinte were the weakest of the all-season tires, and the summer reference managed less than a quarter of the Goodyear's pulling force.

The Michelin was fastest round the snow handling course, a fraction ahead of the Goodyear, with the Continental and Cooper sharing third. All four lapped faster than the winter reference, while the two budget tires were the slowest. The summer reference was not driven here.

In the snow slalom the Michelin held the most lateral grip, with the Goodyear and Vredestein level just behind. Nine of the twelve all-season tires beat the winter reference here; only the Nokian, Triangle and Delinte fell below it.

Wet

The Vredestein had the shortest wet braking of the all-season tires, with the Goodyear, Laufenn and Continental next, and only the summer reference stopped shorter. The Michelin was only eighth of the twelve here, in line with its record elsewhere, including our own 2026/27 all-season test, where it was also among the longer-stopping tires in the wet. The Delinte and Triangle needed more than 23 feet further than the Vredestein to stop; by Auto Bild's calculation, at the point the Mini on the Vredestein had stopped it was still doing around 22 mph on the Triangle.

The Nokian was the fastest all-season tire on the wet handling course, with the Goodyear and Laufenn next, and only the summer reference was quicker. The Bridgestone joined the two budget tires in the bottom three, and the Triangle was the slowest by a clear margin.

The Nokian also set the fastest wet circle lap of the all-season tires, again ahead of the Goodyear and Laufenn, while the Bridgestone, Triangle and Delinte were the slowest.

Both references resisted straight-line aquaplaning longer than any all-season tire, and the winter tire was the best of all. The Nokian was the best of the all-season tires, with the Continental and Laufenn sharing second, while the winning Goodyear was among the first to float, ahead of only the two budget tires.

The two references also led the curved aquaplaning test, and the Nokian was again the best all-season tire, by a clear margin ahead of the Continental. The Delinte and Triangle kept the least grip.

Dry

On the dry handling course the Goodyear was the fastest all-season tire and almost matched the summer reference, with the Laufenn and Continental next. The Bridgestone was the second slowest and the Triangle the slowest by a clear margin.

The Bridgestone stopped shortest of the all-season tires on dry roads, with the budget Delinte a close second and the Pirelli third, but the summer reference stopped around 10 feet shorter than any of them. The Dunlop needed the most room of all fourteen tires, more even than the winter reference, and this is a pattern rather than a one-off: it also had the longest dry braking of the all-season tires in ADAC's 2026 all-season test and Auto Bild's 2025 all-season test.

Comfort

On the pass-by noise measurement at 50 mph the new Vredestein was clearly the quietest tire, and the budget Triangle was second, both quieter than the summer reference. The Laufenn was the loudest of the all-season tires and the winter reference the loudest of all.

Ride comfort was graded subjectively, the only dry-road score without a measurement of its own. The Goodyear and Continental were judged the most comfortable, with the Bridgestone, Michelin, Pirelli and Vredestein close behind, and the two budget tires the least comfortable.

Value

The new Cooper had the lowest rolling resistance, just ahead of the Goodyear, with the Dunlop third, and nine of the twelve all-season tires rolled more easily than the summer reference. The Nokian had the highest rolling resistance of the all-season tires and the winter reference the highest of all. Tread wear was not part of this test, so there is no cost-per-distance comparison, but the set prices are listed in the results table.

Results

The new Goodyear Vector All Season 4 wins as the most complete tire here: strong on snow, quick in the wet and the best all-season tire in dry handling, with its weaker results in aquaplaning and snow braking. The Continental AllSeasonContact 2 and the new Vredestein Quatrac Pro 2 share second, the Continental for having no weak test and the Vredestein for the shortest wet braking and the lowest noise. The Michelin CrossClimate 3 is the pick for regular snow but loses ground with its wet braking. The Laufenn G Fit 4S is rated good and was the least expensive of the top eight, though it was marked down for its dry braking, while the Delinte and Triangle are cheap but a long way behind in the wet and rated only sufficient. Auto Bild also points out that in harder frost a winter tire's softer compound keeps its advantage, a condition this test did not cover.

Reference Tire

Reference Winter

225/55 R18

The winter reference was run outside the classification as a snow benchmark. In this test the best all-season tires matched or beat it on snow while it gave up a lot on dry roads, though Auto Bild notes that winter tires keep their advantage in harder frost, which this test did not cover.
