Tyre Reviews: All Weather Tire Test R17

In February 2025, TireReviews conducted an in-depth test of seven premium all-weather tires in size 225/65 R17. With all-weather tires becoming increasingly popular, particularly in regions with snowy winters, the need for a tire that excels year-round is undeniable. The test evaluated each tire’s performance across dry, wet, snowy, and icy conditions, providing a detailed comparison of their capabilities. Additionally, factors like rolling resistance, comfort, noise levels, and value for money were carefully considered.

    Verdict:

    The Michelin CrossClimate 2 AW excels in nearly all conditions, making it a strong contender in the all-weather category. It leads the pack in dry, wet, and snow performance, achieving top marks for braking and traction. While it performs excellently on ice, offering impressive braking distances, its comfort and noise levels slightly lag behind competitors. With the lowest rolling resistance in the test, it strikes a balance between performance and fuel efficiency, though its price might deter budget-conscious buyers.

    Verdict:

    The Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady 2 is a standout performer in dry and wet conditions, offering superior braking and handling in both. It excels in comfort, with high marks in subjective comfort and noise reduction, making it a solid choice for those seeking a reliable all-weather tire. However, its performance on snow and ice falls short, particularly in terms of traction and braking. With the highest rolling resistance in the test, it sacrifices fuel efficiency for enhanced performance in wet and dry conditions.

    The Nokian Remedy WRG5 stands out as a reliable all-weather tire, offering solid performance across various conditions. It performs well in dry and wet conditions, excelling in deep water aquaplaning and showing strong snow performance. While its braking distances on dry, wet, and ice surfaces are slightly extended compared to the best competitors, it compensates with excellent traction on snow and ice, good comfort, and low rolling resistance, making it a great choice for winter climates.

    Verdict:

    The Bridgestone WeatherPeak stands out for its exceptional snow grip, low noise levels, and impressive rolling resistance. It delivers good aquaplaning resistance and is priced competitively, with a 70,000-mile treadwear warranty. However, its performance in dry and wet conditions, particularly in braking, falls behind the leaders, with extended braking distances impacting its overall ranking.

    Verdict:

    The Firestone WeatherGrip excels in snow performance, offering excellent traction and braking, along with good comfort and a low cost per mile. However, its dry and wet performance lags behind, particularly with long braking distances in both conditions. Additionally, ice performance is not its strong suit, and it produces more noise than other options. Despite these drawbacks, it stands out for its value, with a competitive price and a 65,000-mile treadwear warranty.

    Verdict:

    The Toyo Celsius 2 delivers exceptional value with standout subjective dry handling and reliable snow performance. However, its prolonged braking distances on dry and wet surfaces, limited hydroplaning resistance, and very low ice grip—coupled with elevated rolling resistance—undermine its appeal as a year-round tire.
