We’ve tested Touring All-Season tires before, but never like this! Eight Touring tires, the best of the best, both 3PMSF branded [all-weather] and traditional all-season options, take to the street and the track to see how they stack up. Using our new Alfa Romeo Stelvio to represent the popular CUV segment, our tire testers TJ Campbell and Brent Rollins put these eight contenders through the paces.

At 16:40, the 'Top Tires on The Track' graph's smaller heading should read: 'Subjective Averages Based on Braking Behavior, Steering Characteristics, Cornering Traction, and Handling & Balance,' instead of 'Averages Braking, Skidpad & Lap Times Out of 10'.

Thank you TR for this test! No one else is doing these quality magazine-grade tire tests in North America so these are filling a big void in the market. Please keep it up! However, as others have pointed out, your final aggregate scores seem off compared to the rankings in the individual tests. It turns out you can't mix objective measurements (which are usually very close between tires in the same category) and subjective scores (which are much farther apart because that's how our brains work, we need the clear distance to differentiate between the objects we're comparing) in the same scoring system. When you do that you end up with the aggregate scores basically matching your Road ranking - the only category using subjective scores, effectively nullifying all the good testing you did on the track, both dry and wet. Also, you end up with the 2nd worst tire in the wet (the most important category for safety) as your test winner. So I converted the results in your tests into scores relative to the winner in each test, which gets 100 points. For the Road category, I would normally give it about 30% of the total score, but it's only getting 15% here because of the issue described above. I also had to guesstimate the bottom four scores in this category since you only published the top four. Dry (40%), Wet (45%), Road (15%) Dry braking (20%), Dry cornering (20%), Wet braking (25%), Wet cornering (10%), Wet lap time (10%), Comfort/noise/handling (15%), Overall score Continental CrossContact LX25 97.69 98.78 100.00 98.63 100.00 89.72 97.62 Yokohama Geolandar CV G058 95.06 98.78 97.51 100.00 99.59 95.84 97.48 Michelin CrossClimate2 100.00 96.34 99.51 98.63 99.53 89.50 97.39 Pirelli Scorpion WeatherActive 93.08 100.00 96.04 98.63 99.16 97.92 97.09 Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3 93.69 97.56 90.81 94.52 97.21 100.00 95.13 Yokohama Geolandar CV 4S 93.49 97.56 96.31 100.00 99.36 85.00 94.97 Bridgestone Alenza AS Ultra 90.69 97.56 92.71 97.26 97.51 85.00 93.05 Cooper Discoverer EnduraMax 92.97 97.56 83.10 90.41 93.55 80.00 89.28 Conclusion - if you don't have snow in your climate (or like to use dedicated winters), the Continental LX25 or the Yokohama G058 are for you. If you get light to moderate snow in your climate (and want the convenience of all-weathers year-round), the Michelin CrossClimate2 or the Pirelli WeatherActive are for you.

Thanks for the in depth review of these 3PMSF All-Weather tires. I been using the CrossClimate2 for 5 years now and here are some of my experiences with 2 different sets (H & V Speed) on a KIA Niro HEV (OEM Micheline Energy Saver A/S 205/60/16 H - same OEM size set as Toyota Prius V) and a set of Micheline X-Ice Xi3 winter dedicated tires. Daily drive min. 5X/week: 62 Miles/100KM country road & towns up to 55 MPH/ 90 KMH. Always go through a single lane small circumference sharp round-about 2X daily at @ ~37 miles / ~60 KM & 4X daily over a sharp 30 degree yield corner with 15 degree angle road grading directly over slippery train tracks @ ~25 miles / ~40KM in dry, wet, slushy, icy & snowy days between ~104F/40C - ~ -40F/-40C). Defensive driving style: H-Speed rated (OEM) - Harder compound with softer side walls (lighter tire) : Just a little bit of more MPG and wares down just a little bit slower with less cornering performance, grips and a bit less noise with more comfortable ride. Used for 59,650 miles/96,000KM with 5mm (6/32nd) tread depth left and sold them for 50% of what I paid for (tax & installation included) and bought a new set of V-Speed rated. MPG is a bit better to about the same as the Micheline X-Ice Xi3 in winter. V-Speed rated - Softer compound with harder (more steel belt reinforcement, heavier) side walls: Less MPG due to extra weight and softer compound while wares VERY little bit faster than H-Speed with MUCH better grips, cornering & stability performance in all weather conditions especially in deep snow due to the more pliable soft compound that does not effect by winter temperature (as low as -40F/-40C with wind speed in my area). Just a bit noisier and harder ride. One of the tire got a nail few days ago after driven over 24,900 miles/40,000 KM and only cost tax-in $22.03 with Micheline Road Hazard Pro-Rated Warranty as only about 1mm out of 10mm was wared off (mathematically it may last 198,800 miles/320,000 KM when wear down to 2mm tread depth)!!! MPG is about the same as the Micheline X-Ice Xi3 in winter. I do prefer the V-Speed rated ones currently on my daily vehicle; however, that is just a personal preference. Never put rating that is lower than the OEM tires as that is the minimum safety standard the vehicle is tested on. Due to the unexpected early spring & winter temperature swing that could be as much as 59F/15C differences between the days or even morning & night of ice forming in my 1,000 - 1,700 feet average latitude area, beside making sure the tire rotation and pressure are checked regularly I no longer have to wonder when to, or not to, or to regard swapping tires out too early or late (who really needs all that in life if avoidable) while saving the cost of purchasing & swapping 2X per year towards the next new set of tires that has 95% more stable, comfortable and safer than either the OEM or the dedicated winter tires (poor stopping distance in dry/wet/slush conditions compared to CC2 in all temperature & road surface conditions except ~8% better in traction & stopping on icy & snow covered-non slushy surfaces)

I am not sure how they had the Pirelli AS3's coming in in first place at the end, when the conti LX25 destroyed it in dry and wet braking....

Great content guys!! I had been looking for a lot of time for a review of Geolandar CV4S and they seem great. I hope they can handle some light off road as well! One question though why you did not show us dry track lap times?

I'm impressed with how well the Pirelli all-weather tire did compared to its all-season counterpart. I think I would choose it over the all-season.

This was very helpful. We have a Chrysler 300 AWD, and there are more tires in this categorTy for it than in the Grand Touring category. The Scorpion WeatherActive is high on the list for replacement tires, but I was worried about the noise difference compared to the AS Plus 3.

Why was the inventor of the all-weather tire, Nokian Remedy WRG5 not included in the comparison test?

This new testing is either in just in context of this test or across all? The new Alenza numbers by this test are bottom. Are we to like many do eqate to other past tests as many do. Michelin defenders by rating numbers would be much better and deserve testing against these tires.

Best of the best should have included Nokian's new WRG5 Remedy, and Outpost ATP in the testing.

I purchase the Bridgestones on telhe basis of the last test video. Not the best in that test, but good price and like where biught from. Trust their riad hazard etc. This trst basically shredded them and failuee glee. But the Cross Climate had 50/50 chance on something and that is ok. The other beyond Cooper they lusted over except as another said the Contnetintals. But went from almost there but maybe even Defenders are better.

Oh and the energetic so hard to control emergency lane change still manages a thumbs to enforce how bad it was. My question is then the limits on the great tires. At 45 great. But what about 50, 55 or 60. Like saying how bad a 12 foot braking differ once is like at a littleover 100 foot good distance like 10 percent. So these tires feel great at 45 the winters at say 10 percent more speed 50 how is the emergency cornering and when do the give up? Like omg Alenza can't do 45 but then learn another test later Toyo starts giving out at 50. Or are they so much better do 76 us interstates or even better full Autobahn in the rain?
