CrossClimate 2
In this comparison, we will be focusing on two all-season tyres: Bridgestone Weather Control A005 EVO and Michelin CrossClimate 2.
Potenza Sport
Michelin
Pilot Sport 4
The Bridgestone Potenza Sport and the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 are two summer tyre models worth considering.
Turanza 6
Continental
PremiumContact 7
htmlThe Bridgestone Turanza 6 and the Continental PremiumContact 7 are both premium summer tyres aimed at comfort-oriented drivers, but the gap between them in independent testing is substantial.
Turanza T005
Goodyear
Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6
These two tyres are aimed at broadly the same buyer — someone who wants a premium summer tyre that performs well across wet and dry conditions — but spend any time with the data and a clear character difference emerges.
Potenza Sport
Michelin
Pilot Sport 5
When it comes to choosing a tyre for your car, two popular options are the Bridgestone Potenza Sport and the Michelin Pilot Sport 5.
Turanza 6
Hankook
Ventus Prime 4
htmlWhen comparing the Hankook Ventus Prime 4 and the Bridgestone Turanza 6, both summer tyres succeed well-regarded predecessors — the Hankook Ventus Prime3 K125 and the Bridgestone Turanza T005 respectively — and compete directly in the premium touring segment.
