Even the supposed 'best' all season tyre, the CrossClimate Plus is out performed by mid-range tyres which are £40 per tyre cheaper than it. For the money you save you could buy two sets of mid-range tyres (winter set and summer set), whilst remaining covered for all seasons with actual decent performance. Scratch that, a dedicated winter tyre, which actually places top 3 or wins most of the recent tyre tests such as a Hankook Winter I'cept RS2 is half the price of the CrossClimate and far superior.
There's a reason countries with true seasons (Germany, Sweden, Russia etc) have laws for winter tyres in winter, which exclude all seasons. |
Firstly Germany, Sweden and Russia I understand do permit michelin criss climates I understand, do you have anything to show they don’t (I don’t mind accepting if I am wrong).
Secondly cross climates have outperformed some summer tyres if you review it.
There are some truly outstanding all seasons and I say this as someone who untill the last couple of years ran seperate winter and summers.
Michelin cross climates, Goodyear vector 4 seasons and all weather uhp.
For each bad review I hazard you will find at least 2 good ones.
