    With the promise of one tyre to work in all conditions, all season tyres are a rapidly growing market segment.
    To find out which of these all season tyres is best, and whether they can match a summer and winter tyre, the 2020 Tyre Reviews all season tyre test has tested nine of the best 225/45 R17 all season tyres on the market, and included a summer and winter tyre as reference.
    Each set of tyres will be tested for their levels of grip in the dry, wet and snow, have their noise and comfort levels assessed, and their rolling resistance measured, meaning this test should be a complete overview of a tyres performance.
    Unfortunately we were unable to conduct wear testing for this test, but it's something we will be working on for next years testing.
    The overall score weighting was based on 30% wet, 25% dry, 25% snow, 10% noise and comfort, and 10% rolling resistance. Further details of the breakdown can be found in the video.
    The tyres on test are:
    Bridgestone Weather Control A005
    Cooper Discoverer All Season
    Continental AllSeasonContact
    Giti GitiAllSeason
    Goodyear Vector 4 Season Gen 3
    Hankook Kinergy 4S2
    Michelin CrossClimate+
    Nexen N Blue 4Season WH17
    Vredestein Quatrac Pro
    Winter - Goodyear UltraGrip Performance+
    Summer - Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2

      @@tyrereviews Yet, I wonder if that kind of testing around a track with so very little difference is the best way to do it. I mean it's up to so very little nuances in the driving that I'd rather have concrete g readings rather than a lap time. On the other hand, timed laps are interesting for your feedback and "feel" of the tire. I hope I'm making sense. Thanks for the great work, I love to find reviews where I can compare the CrossClimate+ with other tires.

    • @onehorsepower
      @onehorsepower Před 3 lety +5

      @@Fred_l_l_ if you see lap times as a blend of G measurements is acceleration, side grip and braking grip, its actually a very good measure. G forces alone are a very blunt measure and don't convey if the tyre actually has a good predictable behaviour. In short, lap times are a very good indicator of tyre performance. Even if 1s doesn't seem much on a 100s lap, if that 1s is at say 72km/h, thats still a 20m or almost 5 car length difference, all because different tyres...

    • @Fred_l_l_
      @Fred_l_l_ Před 3 lety

      ​@@onehorsepower Yes you're right. I guess I was more worried of the reliability of the lap times. For instance, on 100 laps, can you stay within the same second and hence produce a reliable comparison. Probably professional drivers like our friend here can do it, which is why it becomes an obvious postulate for him. Since it's above my skill level, I'm wondering...

      @@Fred_l_l_ He does the tests blind (like he does not know what tyre he's writing notes about - not by using the force) and doing it time and time again a professional driver attains consistency. He uses a track to allow standardised conditions. He tests the best tyres because there's little point traveling the world to say a cheap tyre is underwhelming and I assume folks looking here will pay an extra £10, 20 or £50 for peace of mind. Tyres make a huge difference to how a car performs and how safe it is. It is sad that many people go to a tyre shop and order the cheapest they have on the rack. At least we who regularly check in here are open to learning about tyres and can make our own better informed choices as a result.

    I have a set of the original Michelin Crossclimates at 195/65/R15 on my 2015 Peugeot 2008 and I've put 43000km on them so far and the thread is still like brand new, I'm confident I can get well over 50000km on them.
    As far as my experience goes I'd say these tires are absolutely perfect when you let some air out and have them around 28psi, there is plenty of sidewall and the tire is nice and comfy.
    I drive though rain, snow, ice and gravel roads from time to time and they're like magic... I'm very impressed and would highly recommend them 😉

    Great test, thank you. After over a year on Michelin Cross Climates I can report a drop of about 8% in fuel consumption, relative to the OEM Toyo tyres (not low profile), from my Mazda 3 2.2D Skyactiv. This is on a split of about 60% high speed long distance driving and 20% town driving and covering around 18k miles. Otherwise a truly great tyre and, by performance, you really wouldn't know it was an All Season from driving it on Summer dry/wet roads. I have to say it is slightly noisier than the Toyo road tyre, giving that coarser sound that you would expect when driving on Shellgrip tarmac.

During a Christmas visit in Sheffield I even thought about snow chains, not to mention December in 2017.

    As there is less and less snow year by year, maybe I'll change my 2 sets of tyres to 'all in one' option one day.

      Hey Tomek, I noticed that my last good year vector four seasons had better grip in the snow than old winter tires. So it’s cheaper to run all season and change them often than run 2 sets for longer😉.

      Actually this is basic testing for tires in Sweden. The bigger magazine do a lot more testing than this. But for youtube, this is more than others so that's good. Usually test could/should include or be seperated into categ. like racing tires, sports tires, summer tires, eco tires, all round tires, winter tires (non-studded) and studded tires. All round tires, really shouldn't be used in Scandinavia or areas with simular conditions. They are dangerous all year long. Bad during summer conditions and really dangerous during winter. Compared to a studded tire they have often more than twise the breaking distance. Even a worned down studded tire have been proven better during testing than a all season tire.
      For me, people who live in areas with real winter conditions really should have two sets of tires so they have both summer and winter tires. If you can afford a car you can afford two sets of tires too. But I do agree with you, Tyre Reviews do a good job with there test for what conditions they have where they are based.

    I ran a set of the Bridgestone A005s and found they wear well, ride well and I’ve been very impressed with their wet performance too. I found little to no aquaplaning in very wet conditions comparing them with my previous premium branded summer tyre. I never had the chance to run them in serious snow but certainly offered more confidence than that of a summer tyre. Defo looking forward to your review next year of the new-comers as Michelin are certainly falling behind the competition now especially with the GoodYears.

I then bought an Audi Q3 S Line Quattro 4x4 which came with Pirelli P Zero summer tyres. When it snowed last February the Audi Quattro was all over the place, four wheel drive with summer tyres is useless. I'm a bit of a tyre geek myself but I didn't expect such a difference in grip.

And it seems to me that this specification is the most optimal. On the second car, I will not be surprised by the sudden attack of winter :) However, if the all-season tires were not so good, I would probably have 2 sets for both of them - winter / summer.

    I have Goodyear vector 4 season on Kia Proceed. One winter and one summer in use. I got them because of the budget with new car but this winter I am going to buy proper winter tyres for sure and keep these for after winter. Driving on snow was ok but had to be extra careful, breaking and turning was a chalange compare to proper winter tyres but got me going fron place to place alright, just not as confident as I would be wearing winter tyres. Driving in the heavy rain with them was a blast, nice straight line without any kind of slippiness feeling, pretty confident in those conditions. Driving in summer with around 38 °C again very confident driving, in the sharp bends they let you feel their limit nicely, without sudden surprise, just a mild slipping and you feel the limit is there so not bad for hot conditions too. As a budget option for all year with drop of temperatures in winter below 0 and little snow here and there will be ok, but for proper winter conditions I recommend winter deticated tyre. In summer just drive with them all seasons tyres a bit slower and you sorted. BTW important factor is missing in the test on wet is the temperature, as if you test them below 7 °C or above that makes all the difference in behaviour of the tyres because of its compound. Winter/All season tyre on dry or wet will behave totally different in wormer and colder conditions, especially starting below 7 °C or so.. Good test!!

    Great test. I was starting to get interested in allseason tyres, since this is what the news are about nowadays. They are not as huge of a compromise as I thought, but the winter tyre also performed much better in the hot, than I expected. We have to keep in mind, though, that this is a premium winter tyre. Based on the numbers I dont see how the giti is a good buy. Worse in snow and very similar in warm condition.
    The rolling resistance is the main selling point here imo, and we need to know the difference in tyrewear aswell. For my low milage I think I am still gonna be good with winter tyre for the whole year.

    Thanks for the great video, as usual!
    I was wondering if you could test a few of them while reducing the thread by half some day? After all, tires don't stay new forever and performance can change drastically! I know that Michelin is particularly promoting the stability of performance for the CC+ compared to other (unnamed) tires over time, so it would be great if someone could confirm this, one way or another.
    And I understand that using a machine to artificially wear the tire is not like driving thousand of km to get there (the rubber dries with time and again that is impacting performance), but unless you can find (buy back?) used tires, that is still the easier way to do I believe. No methodology is perfect (for example, the interaction car/tire is not the same for every cars), and it's fine as long as it is consistent.
