All Season Ultra High Performance Passenger Car Tire Tests

AUTO BILD Sportscars conducted a comprehensive all-season tire test in their December 2025 issue, testing 10 all season tires in 225/45 R18. This dimension is commonly fitted to performance-oriented volume models such as the BMW M240i, Mercedes CLA 45 S AMG, and Alfa Romeo Giulia. The test covered products across a wide price range, from budget offerings at €340 per set to premium options at €740 per set. 

TireRack, America's leading direct tire retailer and most trusted source of tire testing data, has completed their latest Ultra High Performance All-Season test. Using their impressive test facility and a 2024 BMW 330i xDrive, TireRack's expert test team evaluated nine leading tires across road comfort, noise, and wet and dry track performance. 

This is the 2024/25 Tire Reviews All Season Tire Test! For this test, I have selected six of the best all season tires in the large 235/35 R19 tire size, and I'm using a MK8 VW Golf GTI to find out exactly which all season tire is best in the larger wheel size.

To give this test extra depth, I also have six ultra high performance winter tires in exactly the same size, and I've included a summer tire. With this relatively small test field I've managed to test everything as one test, which means a common control allowing us to cross reference the data. This has shown us how the very best all season tires compare to the very best summer and winter tires in the snow, ice, dry and wet. There's some really interesting insight into how the all season tires compare to the other categories below.

As always I'll be digging into the dry, wet, comfort and noise performance of the tires, then in a later test I'll be looking at the snow performance, to give you a really complete overview of the tires performances.
