Tyre Reviews: All-Season SUV Tire Test R18 2025

All-season tires face an unenviable task: mastering rain, snow, and sun without faltering. In 2025, Tyre Reviews took seven contenders—including Nokian’s SeasonProof 2, born from Europe’s newest high-tech factory—into the crucible of real-world extremes.

From Nordic-grade snowfields to rain-lashed asphalt, the trial dissected how modern all-season designs juggle conflicting demands: clawing through slush, shrugging off aquaplaning threats, and coddling passengers on daily drives. Premium models like Goodyear’s Vector 4Seasons and Bridgestone’s Turanza battled for supremacy, while a budget wildcard shocked testers with perilous weaknesses.

N/A 21

· All Season · 2025 · Passenger - Premium Touring All-Season

Verdict:
The Nokian Seasonproof 2 excels in wet braking (30.46m, 1st) and snow handling (84.07s, 1st), with top-tier noise reduction (70.7 dB) and aquaplaning resistance (81.7 km/h). While its dry braking (37.83m, 4th) and snow traction (3.88s, 5th) lag slightly, its balanced all-season versatility, low rolling resistance, and safety-focused design make it ideal for wet/snow climates.

Westlake All Season Elite Z-401

N/A 23

· All Season · 2019 · Passenger - Premium Touring All-Season

Verdict:
The Westlake All Season Elite Z401 ranks 7th, delivering dangerously long wet braking (38.49m, 7th) and critically weak aquaplaning resistance (69 km/h straight, 7th). Its only strengths are low rolling resistance (6.6 kg/t, 2nd) and decent comfort, but catastrophic performance in snow (4.24s traction, 7th) and noise (73.3 dB, 7th) make it unsuitable for all-season use.
