Best SUV All Season Tires for 2025

How would the Nokian compare to the CC2 SUV I have on my Tesla Y RWD right now.
They are up for a change before next winter, and I am a bit upset about the CC3 non sport version dosen come in the correct size. I am locked in chillmode and doesn’t giv anything about sportiness and performance.

Snow traction is the main thing. I don’t want to be stuck.

Hi Jonathan

Do you have any plans to test the Nokian Seasonproof 2 in other sizes and any general thoughts about their suitability for non SUVs? I used to run Nokian WRG2s as a dedicated winter tire before going over to all seasons some years back, specifically the Goodyear Vector 4 Season, but I always rated the Nokian as the best tire I ever had for winter. The availability of the brand has always been something of an issue in the UK, but I have now found a national retailer which stocks the Seasonproof 2 for very sensible money. The car I drive is a Kia Ceed SW estate, so for me it’s basically a choice between Goodyear and Nokian. In your view would there be a clear cut winner for UK driving conditions?

Thank you.

I have the Nokian and they are fabulous in wet and snow. Precise, silent and well balanced tire. I recommend.

Just an observation. I find the graphs a little misleading in terms of how they visualize the size of the differences betweent the tires, and that affects cognitive appreciation of how small the differences among the best really are. I think a better way of representing this data would be to show the data as a percentage of the best. So the best tire in any test is 100% and the other tires represented as what percentage of that ideal they achieve. Just think it would provide a more easily grasped appreciation of where each tire stands than absolute reference numbers of time or distance.

Having said that, you are the only tire review site I bother with. Nothing else compares in the quality of the data.

Hi John,
Compared to "The Best All Season Tires for 2024 / 2025" test it seems that margin between the reference tires and all season tires is bigger. Is it due to different size/heavier car, or maybe you can think about some other factors?
I'm in the eastern Europe and really concerned about winter performance, compared to a dedicated winter tires. I can't say we have a lot of snow, but some days it can be really cold, like -30C and ice or frozen snow everywhere.

Are the seasonproof 2 available in the UK? I can’t find anyone who stocks them.

Great test! Could you please name the reference summer tire?

Hi John, amazing review again, as always. It seems this was a US market focussed test? How should we read the results? Do they apply to non SUV sizes? It’s hard for me to interpret the results as the Bridgestones, which normally test super well at smaller sizes seem to have underperformed here, and the Goodyears which also seem to score lower in other tests, given their age, showed better here.

Would it be fair to say that these results should not be used to judge these tires in smaller non size sizes?

Will there be any other non suv tire tests before September (all season, touring or UHP)?

Appreciate your work!

Well it would be nice to have continental, pirelli and michelin as you have already commented but it is good that budget tires are improving. It would also be nice to see yokohama geolandar g061 CV 4S which also is an SUV oriented all season tire. In fact I was looking forward to this test since it's time to change to the Goodyear 4 season GEN-2 SUV on my MAZDA CX-30 (215/55/18) in greece. If am not very wrong, Pirelli SF3 are the more summerish all season tire?
