And for those who want a good set of tires for snow I do recommend kleber Q3 theay are underestimated bbut do a great job on every kind of snow.

I have what you call summer tires (or sport tires), winter tires for Swedish winter (in Stockholm) the Michelin X-Ice North 4 studded tires but also the Michelin CrossClimate 2 that i use during fall and spring. And lett me tell you! Im very i am very impressed of how the CrossClimate performs in some conditions (compared to my studded tires). They have a very firm grip on both ice and snow. The only times they fall behind is when its icy on the road and im going upp or down. In those situation i feel not really secure all the time. In those conditions the studded tires are almost like summer tires in feeling of grip!

One thing that people who are against all season tyres forget, is that the real main advantage of those is when you live in a climate in which you can have wildly different weather and temperatures within two, or even a single week. For example Poland or Germany. In Winter you can have -5 degrees C and a lot of snow, and very next day you can have +5 degrees and rain. And week later you somehow get +15, which can also be wet. Unless you plan on changing tyres every day depending on weather, all season will be better - it's much better than winter tyre in warm/wet conditions. And the difference is bigger then, instead of difference in most snowy scenario(which you also very rarely get in urban areas, unless you live in mountains). Same with competition against summer tyres. It csn be really bad in transitioning seasons, like early-mid spring and mid-late autumn. There's often a mix of high temperature days(for example 25 C) and suddenly a few days with minus temps. One thing you NEVER EVER want to do is to use summer tyre on cold temperatures, and a lot of people seem to either forget or simply not know that.

I now fit Cross Climate 2s all year round and I’m just thrilled with them. Two years ago in a decent snowfall (6”, this is England after all) I went out to have an evening drive about in my Skoda Yeti 4X4. It was great fun! Coming out of a local town situated in a valley, and bypassing the mayhem of stranded and sliding cars on the hills coming out, I met a couple in a Yeti coming the other way. We stopped and had a quick chat, they were on winter tyres and doing exactly the same thing. Just driving in the snow for the sheer joy of it.

Well done with the test. I owned michelins CC+ for 4 winters then the CC2 for the last 2 winters. Both Michelins were better than most winter tyres driving on ice and snow, they felt as good as a summer tyre on cold but dry roads during winter and had good fuel economy. 4mm thread depth is a big issue in Europe for winter tyres because they ask you to buy new tyres. If Michelin chooses to only make 6.1mm of rubber thats a big weakness because you only have 2mm of useable rubber or 2 winter seasons, then they are down to 4 mm and need replacement. Goodyear 4 season gen 3 start with 8.2 mm. So you have 4.2 mm or 4 to 5 winters of tyre life.

The Pirelli is sold in the US as the Cinturato Weatheractive. I have had in on my wife's WRX since last winter. Here in the Northwest US, we get about one to three weeks of snow and 6 months of rain.

Even summer performance is adequate, so I don't even bother with summer tires on the WRX now.

Excellent videos you make on Tyres! I recently bought the Michelin Cross climate 2 tires (tyres) and was surprised how quiet they were compared to my Factory tires (Bridge stone Ecopia 225/60 /R17 all season) I had a DB reading sensor and Cross climate 2 tyres were 1-2 db quieter ( I had written road DB readings on the Ecopia tyres while driving in 4 different designated road areas + different speeds before the Michelin CC2 were bought & installed) . I live in Northern Alberta Canada and winters last a little longer up here so I wanted a good Tyre to handle snow, ice and salt slush + puddling potholes. I'm thinking the Michelin CC2 should handle slush better and this winter I will know soon. Hydro planing on slush passing a big truck is not a lot of fun when driving as I'm retired. Tires do make a difference and was willing to fork out a few hundred dollars more for my new 2024 all wheel Subaru Forester to have some nice tires. Watching your videos over the last few months has made me think I made a good choice. Not sure how they will handle in -40C weather travelling at 100km/hr time will tell that tale IMO.(It does get that cold in January for a few weeks sometimes for the last 30yrs I have lived here. i bought my tyres early because last winter they were hard to get quotes for my Honda pilot because certain sizes are hard to find and Michelin manufactures those CC2 in Canada, the ones I Bought were date marked 3024 (30th week of 2024)only a few months old, inventory's seem low IMO.

Let´s go! New video, im here instantly! Time to bring up a video idea: Compare the best of each categorie (UHP, HP, Comfort, AT, AS, Winter, Track etc.) in each Scenario. Me for example, I´d, like to buy an Range Rover L322 4.4TDV8, and i might get a bit into offroading. But could i do that with a Conti AS 7? Do i need the AT 2? Or do I give up on a huge amount of wet and snow grip? Or my old SLK230, should be used for Summer only - could i put track tires on it? Or is the comfort to bad for even the drive to work by good weather? Would i swim away in a summer rain? So with that video you could attempt to give an overview over a lot of very induvidual usecases.

By far the best data and presentation of any tire review site - I've really come to depend on your content in my tire selection. You consistently select a good range or tires for each test and compliment the real data with your driving impressions - It makes a Huge difference in value to me, the consumer. While I understand there are far too many tires to test them all - I do wish you could perhaps focus a review on tires available in US vs. EU. I can't go out and buy some of your Test Winners and its hard to compare a Continental or Scorpion Verde AS or Cross Contact LX25; or Pirelli Cinturato P7 SF3 (Both Available in US) to the tires from the corresponding companies in your testing (Not Available in US...). Finally - My feedback to Tire Mfg: Make these wonderful, Test Winning Tires available in the US Please!

I really don't understand the rolling resistance figure for the Michelin CC2. I was so happy with the CC+ that choosing the CC2 seemed like a natural choice but I saw a massive hit to fuel economy - averaged out over a few months and several tanks of fuel across local commuting and long distance journeys, it was roughly 12% worse with the CC2 compared to the CC+. Also Michelin's customer service is a sham. If you post a complaint or negative comment, they respond to say they've reached out, and they do send you an email, but they NEVER follow up when you reply tp that email.

@nicovega1831 Ай бұрын

Looks like the Turanza has filled the gap that the old CrossClimate2 once had. Now this is a great choice for regions with mild winter seasons. After difficult years you could already see that Pirelli was on the right track with the SF2. The SF3 is the logical evolution. Excellent job. I liked to see the difference between wet braking warm and cool 👍 They all have their individual behaviour with changing temperatures.

I've even driven them in quite deep snow and had no traction issues whatsoever. I'm still waiting to see how durable they are (some reviews mention that they wear quite fast compared to a CC2) but for now they're the best tyres I've ever used

@thebrowns5337 Ай бұрын

Good point. Wear rate was missing from the test unless I missed it. Maybe it will be on the website, I'm sure he's looked at that before. And that's a very important metric as tyre these days are essentially plastic and as they wear they produce micro-platics that enter the air at street level and ebter water courses via drainage/run off when it rains. With EVs producing less CO2 emissions the focus will need to shift steadily toward microplastics as we already know they are found inside human organs. Ironically EVs, being heavier, will release more microplastic emissions than ICE cars... so it's even more important how much and what a tyre sheds.

@AdamRosenberg90 Ай бұрын

Still don’t understand why most cars in the UK are running summer performance tyres when a set of good all seasons would suit 90% of people better, and prevent everything turning to carnage on the few days we get a bit of snow. Having DWS06+ on our Beemer in the PNW of Canada, this just seems much more fitting as well to a mixed climate often very wet climate place like Uk. Still don’t understand why the American all season just doesn’t exist in Europe. When/if we move back, i want a set of DWS06+ for most of the year, then the Pirelli SF3 for deep winter months trips to Scotland or even Europe where the 3PMSF will come in handy.

The wheels started to spin, and he floored it.. 1st gear, 2nd gear, then 3rd, and it began crawling across the ice, leaving 4 burn-out marks down the road...😂 I was impressed! ❤

Always love watching your videos and getting factual, real world information on tires. 😎 My 2016 Subaru Outback had the AWESOME Michelin CrossClimate 2s on it, which handled everything here in New England with ease. This Spring I traded it in on a 2024 Subaru Outback, so now I find myself with the stock Yokohama Avid GT, which we all know aren't the greatest tires to have on our vehicles. However, so far I've had no issues in dry or wet conditions, and we'll see how they perform in this year's Winter weather. At some point they'll get replaced, maybe by then Michelin will have the CrossClimate 3 (or whatever) for a replacement, though I will also be keeping an eye on the other top contenders here.

Driving company car in europe over 55 000 km/year , with my colleagues we are testing tires in normal condition. So far, the crossclimate 2 are higly above pirelli to me if i had to by them because of the consistency after half milage. Tested Pirelli ; michelin ; goodyear and continental on Scenic 4 ( 1.7 tons, 195mm wide 20"), and encouter every situation, from mountain in snow; mountain in hot summer in spain; very wet highway etc... Basically, every brand new tire with low mileage is good, but it became scary with less tread. Michellin keep it's consistency in the time, especially on wet highway, you can run over 140km/h under heavy rain with a 50% used tire on highway, i found the limit before with a used goodyear or pirelli. Michelin and continental also run for huge mileages over pirelli and goodyear. In snow, michelin is always far over. And finally, the noise on highway... Continental is terrible, other 3 brands are good.

They have great grip right from the start, without needing to warm them up like the Michelin, and in the rain, it feels like you're driving on dry roads! I was undecided about trying an all-season tire, and heck, they might perform better than winter tires on wet and dry surfaces! Here in Bologna, Italy, it has snowed maybe 2 or 3 days in the last two years, so I think I’ll try the Pirelli SF3 for the winter. I’ll probably feel safer for 90% of the winter season. Thanks!

Great test and great work as usual. Very happy with the Summer - All-Season - Winter comparison. The Good-Year might be missing, but for that, we’ll have to check the tests from previous years. For summer tires, this test has confirmed what we already knew about premium summer tires: they perform as well as All-Season or Winter tires at 7°C. The temperature where they start to lose performance is lower, around 2-3°C. I’m very surprised by the first place and happy to see Pirelli catching up. The performance of some winter tires is good, and if you live at high altitudes or in a cold country, the question of whether to choose a Winter tire or an All-Season tire is worth considering. In a place with a moderate climate, not too far from the mountains, the All-Season tire is a no-brainer; it saves you from needing two sets and offers sufficient performance for everyday life.

@mike.n.davies Ай бұрын

Still missing the Hankook Flex-climate all-season. This is a relatively new tyre, so a test against all the established contenders is required. The Hankook is not so new you cannot get them though, so in my view this is a serious omission. You don't have anything from Hankook in your past two all-season tests. I'm also surprised you have nothing from Goodyear. Its not really a full test without all the big brands in there. As Hankook are OE fitment to VAG group, Mercedes and Volvo that I've seen, they must now be considered a big player.

I fit them in from November to march for the cold season and the result until now is fantastic.

I drive a crossover, so 10/10ths performance on a track is a non-issue for me. With this new test, it looks like the Pirelli has taken the crown.

Thanks. Fitted all seasons to my rear drive Merc E class last year. Put the Michelins on the front, but the only make that had an all season tyre for my weird rear rims (275/40 18" 102Y) in the UK at the time was the budget Maxxis Premita. It has the worst wet grip I have ever experienced in a tyre. Sometimes even the traction control can't cope with it. First time I accelerated quickly out of a junction the car went sideways. I am very relieved that at last there is a premium tyre that is now available in that size. Its the Continental, so I will be scrapping the Maxxis for those ASAP. As for the Michelins on the front, they have been fine, except in the wet you can hear the water being squeezed out of the trye quite noticeably at low speeds when there is only light rain. Its like a kind of whooshing sound. I've not heard that before on a tyre.
