Michelin CrossClimate 2 vs Continental CrossContact LX25 vs Goodyear WeatherReady

Compare each discipline in the tested size. See the measured result, position and gap to the best tire, then read the verdict for the trade-offs behind the finishing order.

Tested size: 235/55 R18

Read the measurements, not just the rank

Lower is better for braking distances and lap times; higher is better for subjective scores and aquaplaning speed. Bars start at zero. Read the gap alongside the position: adjacent tires can be separated by very different margins.

Positions and gaps always refer to the full test field within each group. Selecting tires does not recalculate rankings or change the best-in-test benchmark.

Dry

Dry Braking
Position / Tire	Result	Gap to best	Residual speed
1Michelin CrossClimate 2 AW	113 ft	Best	0 mph
2Continental CrossContact LX25	121 ft	+8 ft	21 mph
3Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady	130 ft	+17 ft	29 mph

The difference between best and worst was 14.9% (17 ft ≈ 1.1 Car Lengths). From 80 mph, the Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady would still be travelling at 29 mph when the Michelin CrossClimate 2 AW had stopped.

Residual speed is calculated from the measured braking distances, assuming constant deceleration; it is not a separate measurement.

2Continental CrossContact LX25	196 ft	+53 ft	42 mph
3Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady	199 ft	+56 ft	42 mph

The difference between best and worst was 39% (56 ft ≈ 3.8 Car Lengths). From 80 mph, the Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady would still be travelling at 42 mph when the Michelin CrossClimate 2 AW had stopped.
