Tyre Reviews: All-Season Tire Test R17

Tyre Reviews lined up nine all-season tyres in 205/45 R17 and added two references—the Continental PremiumContact 7 (summer) and WinterContact TS 870 P (winter)—then ran snow, wet, dry, aquaplaning, comfort, and rolling-resistance tests, including laps in a RWD Mazda MX-5. In snow, Pirelli felt poised and quick, Kleber remained a specialist, and Continental/Goodyear/Bridgestone were solid; a bargain Milever posted eye-opening times but hinted at the usual wet-grip trade-off, while Tomket and Cooper trailed. In the wet, the field split: Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 set the pace on the lap, Bridgestone excelled in braking, Pirelli had the most bite at the limit, and lower-cost entries lost predictability. On dry tarmac, Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 drove most like a summer tyre and Pirelli topped all-season dry braking, with the PremiumContact 7 still the outright benchmark. Efficiency favored Continental AllSeasonContact 2 for lowest rolling resistance, while comfort/noise clustered tightly with Cooper and Kleber among the quieter, more supple sets.
