The benefit of winter tyres: summer vs. all season vs. winter

Bridgestone compares summer, all season and winter tyres in its Swedish Proving Ground to show the impact and importance of having the right tyres in the right conditions!

Well how about that winter tyres perform better in winter than summer tyres !

[timothygermann]

From the video it looked like All seasons performed just moderately less then winter tires while the summer tires were much worse.  My guess is that unless you live in a climate that sees snowy icy conditions all winter long, All-seasons will probably fit the bill.

Wait, what happened to the all season tires?

[cyunczykg]

They campared old generation of all-season to newest winter. I wonder how would perform modern all seasons like Michelin CrossClimate, Goodyear Vector 4Seasons G2 or Continental AllSeasonContact. What about wet conditions with temperatures slightly obove 0 degrees?

[adisharr]

Why no all-season comparison on all tests? That's a bit of fuckery.

funny how the all season tyres didn't do all the tests. Seems to me unless you live above the artic circle all season would be best. plus you wouldn't have to buy 2 sets of tyres for the year. How thick do you think people are bridgestone.

If u look closely the vehicles look like ghost 👻 going through those cones😂😂😂

I finally gave up on winter tires, for one big reason, cost. As I do not have the room, I have to have mine stored, by the dealer. Twice a year, I have to pay for storage and mounting. Over the years, that money could have bought me 2 sets of tires. So, this year, I am going with the Crossclimate 2's. We will see how that works out.

Someone needs to go back to school and retake their mathematics!

No way did that all season tyre have a braking distance of 179% of the winter
The cynic in me thinks someone is trying to scare the public into buying more tyres!!!!

[joeldecastro]

michelin all season tire is the best i have crossclimate its best tire for me michelin

[dupajizsolt]

4 season tyre is the best tyre all day, every day.

[brennanleslie]

As someone who lives in Upstate New York I will never buy a Summer Tire because summer doesn’t last that long and sometimes it downpours like crazy in the summer.

[lakshya]

In final brake test, how come summer and winter both are running parallel on same speed, since in first test you mentioned summer was lagging behind due to less traction?
Or I missed something?

[ChilliPlantOwner]

That doesn’t look like 80% longer to stop to me.

[MA-ikbh]

I like how he didn’t show all season tyre on the obstacle avoidance test, which means
all season is just as good as winter tyres, unless you are in most of year round heavy snow even then you would need tyres with spikes or chains. Should mention tyre rubber farming slavery by Bridgestone and other big brands. Video where does tyre rubber come from or how they’re made. Must watch. I find mid range are good enough unless you’re driving a very high performance car. And they are all made in china same factory as other tyre ranges.

Go to school. Take a look at 1:49 - so it's 100, 179 and 233 and now look at cars - "all season" is 1 meter in front of "winter" and "summer" is like 10 meters in front of "all season". If your engineers are as stupid as you marketing department workers, that god bless users of your tires...

[shiftyshamsk]

Be more interesting if they tried condoms, ribbed VS smooth.

Best best gift for everyone to watch on YouTube Dr Zakir naik English and get real heaven's satisfaction and happiness and save urself and ur families

[GG-cnes]

imo if it's not studded it's not a winter tire. Winter = snow and ice. If you want maximum traction on snow and ice, you need studded tires.

[ghitaciprian]

If it's rubber it's just fine !
