The BEST All Season Tires for 2024/25 - Michelin vs Bridgestone vs Continental vs Pirelli & More!

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

You can read the entire all season tire test and play with the data / score weighting to find the best all season tyre for you at this link:

To give this test extra depth, I also have six ultra high performance winter tyres in exactly the same size, and I've included a summer tyre. 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 tyres compare to the very best summer and winter tyres in the snow, ice, dry and wet. There's some really interesting insight into how the all season tyres compare to the other categories below.

A lot of you are noticing some of the best tyres in the category are missing. Well, there is a reason for that, keep an eye on www.tyrereviews.com for news there. While you're on the site, also review your tyres please.

This is one of the most important channels on YouTube and should be mandatory watching for everyone! Thanks so much

Why am I feeling excessively excited about a tire test?

[antonoat]

The quality of your testing and video is outstanding! Thank you.

Just had Goodyear Vector 4S Gen 3 fitted on my new car. Had them on my previous car and my wife's car. The only thing I can say having tried Michelins and Bridgestones throughout the years of driving in all conditions: this is the king of all seasons. Amen.

[leetshots]

bloody hell is it that time of year again.

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.

I've been purchasing my tyres according to your recommendations for a few years now and never been disappointed. I replaced my wife's summer tyres with Michelin CrossClimate 2 three months ago and I have CrossClimate on my SUV. I will have to look out for the Pirellis i future.

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.

Having the winter and summer tire data is great! Really shows you what the tires are actually like, not just what the manufacturer calls them. I'm getting a set of goodyear ultragrip ice 3 nordic friction tyres for my car this winter season.

[jensbegemann]

What a fantastic test. Thank you very much. Many greetings from Germany.

I bought the Continental's to fit on an 18 year old 3 series a couple of weeks ago. Really happy with them, great tyres. They transformed the car massively. It was either these or Pirelli's.

[mrluken-official]

The best upgrade for your car is a good set of tires. Thanks for your excellent review!

[JacobFrey]

Thank you for this! I think testing a group of tires WITH the added context from 2 contrasting tire categories AND in multiple traction scenarios, is SUPER interesting.

[alexanderradetsky]

This is one of the only things I’ll drop what I’m doing to watch. Fantastic test across a huge variety of conditions - this is as real world representative as it gets!

[joshuaableiter]

This is the best version of your testing so far!

[johnmiranda]

Good stuff!! I bought some Cross Climate 2 a couple years ago. It used to snow a lot in Syracuse, NY, back in the old days, a few years ago. No more. So, the snow advantage goes away. Next will be those Pirellis. Thnks.

I definitely would have liked to see the Hankook iON EVO AS tire in this test. That is an extremely popular tire now because it is so incredibly efficient and it has a great tread wear rating. However, there isn’t much data yet on how it performs in the dry, wet, and snow. Please, test that tire as soon as you can. I have that tire in the 235/45/18 size on my 2024 Highland Model 3 Performance and it is an outstanding tire so far. Efficiency is just incredible with it.

As a Vredestein QT pro all season user, I can confirm the results. It's soft, ok to drive in dry, really good in wet, and I haven't tried it on snow apart from getting out of the driveway (which I had no problems with). The only reason I have them is it was the best tire I coud find for 275/35/19 in my area... But for the money, it's ok. I will however try to switch to Continental or Pirelli next time, if I find them. I don't need snow tires anymore, winters are getting hotter every year.

Thank you. I hope that viewers can appreciate just how much work and blind testing occurs behind the scenes to produce these videos.
