1st

Continental VanContact 4Season

+The Continental VanContact 4Season won this test on how it corners rather than how it stops. It set the fastest lap on both the wet and the dry handling courses, generated the most lateral grip on the wet circle, and earned the testers' top marks for steering and balance in the wet, in the dry and on snow. Its snow results were strong across the board, with the second-shortest braking distance, the second-best standing-start traction and the joint second-best lateral grip in the slalom. Rolling resistance was the second-lowest in the test and the testers rated it among the more comfortable tires.

−Straight-line braking was the VanContact 4Season's weak point: it was the second-longest stopping tire in both the wet and the dry. It was also the first to aquaplane in the straight-line test and only fifth of six in the curved aquaplaning test, and its coast-by noise measurement was the highest of the group.

Joint2nd

Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Cargo

+The Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Cargo was the braking benchmark on wet asphalt, stopping shorter than every other tire, and it was second-shortest in the dry. Only the Continental lapped the dry handling course faster, with the GT Radial matching the Goodyear's speed, and the testers described its wet cornering as safe and easy to control, with a mild understeer balance that suits a heavy van. It was also the second-quietest tire on the coast-by measurement.

−Snow is where the Vector 4Seasons Cargo gave ground. It had the slowest standing-start traction on packed snow, and it finished in the bottom half of every snow test, although the testers did find it easy to control on snow. Aquaplaning resistance was mid-field in both tests, rolling resistance was a little above the group average, and the testers picked up some slip-angle noise in slow corners.

Joint2nd

Michelin Agilis CrossClimate

+The Michelin Agilis CrossClimate had the shortest dry braking distance in the test and the second-shortest in the wet, and it was the quietest tire on the coast-by measurement. Its measured snow results were strong: second-fastest around the snow handling course, second-best lateral grip in the slalom and the third-shortest snow braking distance. It was also second-best in both aquaplaning tests, and the testers praised its precise dry steering and its stability in the lane-change test.

−Wet cornering was the Agilis CrossClimate's weakness. It was the slowest tire around the wet handling course and generated only fifth-best grip on the wet circle, with the testers noting weak grip in wet corners and a tendency to understeer. On snow the measured results were good but the testers found the steering reserves thin, giving it the lowest subjective snow-handling mark of the six. It was the most expensive tire in the test and its ride comfort was rated in the lower group.

Joint4th

GT Radial Maxmiler AllSeason 2

+The GT Radial Maxmiler AllSeason 2 was the best snow tire in the test by measurement: shortest snow braking, fastest around the snow handling course and the highest lateral grip in the snow slalom, with the testers giving it top marks for its snow handling. It was also rated the most comfortable tire of the six over rough surfaces and it matched the Goodyear for average speed on the dry handling course, all at by far the lowest price in the test, which earned it promobil's price-performance tip.

−The Maxmiler AllSeason 2 had the highest rolling resistance in the test and the weakest resistance to curved aquaplaning, with its straight-line aquaplaning result also near the bottom. Wet and dry braking were mid-field rather than strong. The testers found the steering response sluggish and imprecise on both wet and dry asphalt, and noted some audible slip-angle noise.

Joint4th

Nokian Seasonproof C1

+The Nokian Seasonproof C1 was in a class of its own for aquaplaning resistance, floating at a much higher speed than any other tire in the straight-line test and holding the most lateral grip in the curved aquaplaning test. It was second only to the Continental for wet handling lap speed and wet circle grip, and the testers gave it high marks for a safe, well-balanced feel on snow and in the wet. Dry braking was third-shortest.

−Braking on snow and in the wet was the Seasonproof C1's consistent weak point: it was the second-longest stopping tire on snow and fourth in the wet, and its snow traction was also second-slowest. It was among the slower tires on the dry handling course, its rolling resistance was the second-highest, and the testers rated its ride comfort and interior noise in the lower group.

6th

Bridgestone Duravis All Season EVO

+The Bridgestone Duravis All Season EVO had the lowest rolling resistance in the test by a clear margin, which promobil credited to its lightly siped, arrow-shaped tread. It also had the best standing-start traction on packed snow of any tire here, and its straight-line aquaplaning resistance was third-best.

−Away from traction and efficiency the Duravis All Season EVO was at or near the bottom of almost every measured test: the longest snow braking, slowest snow handling and least snow slalom grip, the longest wet and dry braking distances, the least wet circle grip, the slowest dry handling lap and the lowest subjective dry-handling mark. The testers described sluggish steering and weak lane-change stability on dry asphalt, and noted slip-angle noise.

The full test

The evidence behind the verdict

promobil, the German motorhome magazine, has tested six all season van tires in the Fiat Ducato's standard 225/75 R16C size for its October 2026 issue. The test compares premium products from Continental, Goodyear, Michelin, Bridgestone and Nokian against the much cheaper GT Radial Maxmiler AllSeason 2, all fitted to a part-loaded Ducato and run on snow in northern Finland and on wet and dry asphalt in Spain. promobil weights its all season verdict towards wet performance, on the basis that a German winter is more often cold and wet than snowy, so the wet chapter counts for forty percent of the result.

The Continental VanContact 4Season won the test without winning a single braking test. It was the fastest tire on both the wet and dry handling courses, produced the most grip on the wet circle and was consistently strong on snow, and that handling composure was enough to carry it past tires that stopped shorter. The Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Cargo and Michelin Agilis CrossClimate tied for second with very different profiles: the Goodyear had the shortest wet braking distance but was among the weakest on snow, while the Michelin had the shortest dry braking distance and was the quietest tire, yet was the slowest around the wet handling course. Behind them the GT Radial was the best tire on snow by measurement and cost a fraction of the others, earning promobil's price-performance tip, and the Nokian Seasonproof C1 was in a class of its own for aquaplaning resistance. The Bridgestone Duravis All Season EVO finished last, with the lowest rolling resistance and the best snow traction but at or near the bottom of almost everything else.

promobil scores every test out of ten and combines them with a fixed key for all season van tires: snow twenty percent, wet forty, dry twenty and environment twenty. All six tires were tested at 3.5 bar front and rear in the 121/120 R specification, except the Goodyear, which was only available in load index 118 at the time of the test. The magazine made a point of not awarding its top "outstanding" grade to any tire, arguing that even the best all season tires remain a compromise against a proper summer tire on dry roads. Snow testing took place at Nokian's proving ground in northern Finland, with the wet and dry work done at the Nokian Hakka Ring in Spain. This is our summary of the headline findings; for the full test, every measurement and the methodology, see promobil's original article.

Snow

The GT Radial had the shortest snow braking distance, with the Continental only a fraction behind it and the Michelin third. The Bridgestone was the longest stopping tire, though the whole field was covered by just over 7 feet.

Snow Braking

Snow braking in feet (31 - 6 mph)

109 ft +5 ft 16 mph
111 ft +7 ft 20 mph

The difference between best and worst was 6.9% (7 ft ≈ 0.5 Car Lengths). From 80 mph, the Bridgestone Duravis All Season EVO would still be travelling at 20 mph when the GT Radial Maxmiler AllSeason 2 had stopped.

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

promobil reports snow traction as the mean acceleration from a standing start between 5 and 50 km/h, which we have converted to the time taken to cover that speed band. The Bridgestone was the quickest away, with the Continental close behind, and the Goodyear was the slowest of the six.

The difference between best and worst was 9.2% (0.74 s).

The GT Radial was the fastest tire around the snow handling course, ahead of the Michelin and Continental. The Bridgestone was the slowest by a clear margin, nearly 1 mph adrift of the Goodyear in fifth.

The difference between best and worst was 13.5% (1.6 ft/s²).

Wet

Wet braking carries the single biggest weighting in the test. The Goodyear stopped shortest, with the Michelin next and the GT Radial and Nokian close together behind. The Continental was fifth, and the Bridgestone needed over 13 feet more road than the Goodyear to stop from the same speed.

Actual savings vary based on driving style, vehicle weight, road conditions, and tire age. For comparative purposes only. Lifetime savings based on a 40,000km / 25,000 mile tread life.

Results

The Continental VanContact 4Season is promobil's test winner, rated very good, with the Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Cargo and Michelin Agilis CrossClimate sharing second place on the same rating. The GT Radial Maxmiler AllSeason 2 and Nokian Seasonproof C1 tied for fourth and the Bridgestone Duravis All Season EVO finished sixth, all three rated good. promobil's conclusion was that any of the branded tires tested is a safe choice, but that an all season tire remains a compromise against dedicated summer and winter tires, and anyone planning to drive through the winter should fit a new set now so the full tread depth is available when the first snow arrives.

The test winner, rated very good by promobil. The Continental VanContact 4Season took the win on the strength of its handling and cornering reserves in every condition, with no weak area on snow. Buyers who put the shortest possible wet braking distance above everything else will find the Goodyear and Michelin stronger there, but as an all-round package for a motorhome it was the most complete tire in the test.

Michelin Agilis CrossClimate
Joint second with the Goodyear and rated very good. The Michelin Agilis CrossClimate is the strongest braking tire in the test on dry roads and close to the best in the wet, it is quiet, and it is good on snow when measured, but its wet handling let it down enough to keep it off the top step. promobil noted it was probably the priciest tire here and that this time it did not quite reach the top spot.

Pro Mobil Price-Performance Tip / Good Preis-Leistungs-Tipp / gut
Joint fourth with the Nokian, rated good, and promobil's price-performance tip. The GT Radial Maxmiler AllSeason 2 is the tire for motorhome owners who spend real time on snow: it led the snow braking, handling and slalom tests and rode comfortably, and it costs far less than anything else here. The trade-off is a less precise feel on asphalt, weaker aquaplaning protection and the highest rolling resistance, which is why it sat behind the three premium tires overall.

Nokian Seasonproof C1

225/75 R16 C 121/120R
Nokian Seasonproof C1
Joint fourth with the GT Radial and rated good. The Nokian Seasonproof C1 is the wet-weather specialist of the group, with the best aquaplaning protection by a clear margin and strong wet handling, and its snow handling was rated safe and predictable. The testers put its longer stopping distances on snow and in the wet down to the compound, and that is what kept it out of the top three.

Bridgestone Duravis All Season EVO

225/75 R16 C 121/120R
Bridgestone Duravis All Season EVO
Last of the six, though still rated good. The Bridgestone Duravis All Season EVO is built for efficiency and mileage, and promobil suggested it makes sense for delivery fleets, but for a motorhome it gives away too much braking and cornering grip in every condition. Strong snow traction and low rolling resistance are not enough to recommend it over the rest of this field.
