Designing a great well-balanced all-season tyre is already really difficult, but making it affordable is even tougher challenge. And Hankook Kinergy 4S2 is a rare prove that it could be done!

Expert summary
The Turanza All Season 6 may be a little late to the all-season tyre market, but it is very well balanced and excels in mileage and wet performance, while sacrifying little bit of snow performance.

Expert summary
We had high expectations of the new all season Continental and it certainly didn't disappoint. It leans a bit towards mileage, which is a great strategy considering all season tyres are not usually used for sporty driving.

Hankook's allseason tyre leans towards snow performance. It's really good in preventing longitudinal aquaplaning and it's also very quiet.

Expert summary
The Michelin CrossClimate 3 is a premium all-season tyre that sets new benchmarks in winter performance for its category. Auto Bild testing reveals snow handling and traction capabilities that rival dedicated winter tyres, combined with excellent mileage and fuel efficiency. Its rolling resistance and longevity deliver strong cost-effectiveness over the tyre lifecycle. While wet performance is slightly behind the best in class, the CrossClimate 3 represents the most capable all-weather solution for drivers who face varied conditions year-round.

To do a good allseason tyre on a budget is difficult and Multiseason 2 is the proof of this. It's really good on snow, but lacks some of the wet safety that the premium models have.
