Performance comparison of 6 brands of tires

For long-distance travel, all-season tires are a good choice, and they are more adaptable than summer tires. Foreign institutions have evaluated 6 popular all-season tire products, including Michelin, Bridgestone, Goodyear and other big-name tires.

The specifications of the evaluated tires are 215/40 R18. The evaluated model is Hyundai I20N.

1. Dry braking
First of all, dry braking. It must be said that Michelin CrossClimate 2 is worthy of being a Michelin product. The braking performance of all-season tires has killed most summer tire products in seconds, which shows its foundation. Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 is not to be outdone, and the results are also very outstanding. In fact, as far as all-season tires are concerned, the performance of these tires is very good.

2. Dry handling
The second is dry lap time. It performs well in dry braking, but not necessarily in dry lap time, and vice versa. The German Continental AllSeasonContact 2, which performed mediocrely in dry braking, was a blockbuster in dry lap time, directly beating its competitors. The Goodyear Hankook Kinergy 4S2 was also a blockbuster, and its performance was indeed not at the same level as dry braking, and it was very outstanding.

3. Wet braking
When it comes to wet land, the situation is completely different. The advantages maintained on dry land before may not work in wet conditions. The Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 gave people a big surprise, and its performance on dry land was completely different. However, the Hankook Kinergy 4S2 was good in dry land and wet land. The same is true for the German Continental AllSeasonContact 2, which performed outstandingly.

4. Wetland lap time
In the wetland lap time, the performance of the German Continental AllSeasonContact 2 is still very good, and the Hankook Kinergy 4S2 is also excellent. In the wetland braking, the Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6, which can challenge the overlord, seems to have lost its form and its performance is not satisfactory.

5. Straight-line hydroplaning
In the straight-line hydroplaning project, the Hankook Kinergy 4S2 still performed well, and the Michelin CrossClimate 2 finally found its feeling in this project. In comparison, the Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 is in poor condition and did not exert its full strength in the wetland.

6. Snow braking
The highlight of the snowy environment is here, which is the ultimate test for all-season tires. In the snow braking, the Hankook Kinergy 4S2 and Michelin CrossClimate 2 have regained their form and achieved amazing results. Similarly, the German Continental AllSeasonContact 2 is also very good, basically at the same level. Although the Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 performed well in the wet, it did not give people a surprise.

7. Snow handling
The lap time in the snow tests the comprehensive strength of the tires. The Hankook Kinergy 4S2 remained calm. The same is true for the German Continental AllSeasonContact 2. The excellent tire performance keeps the vehicle in the best condition. Although the Michelin CrossClimate 2 is also good, it is still a little behind the top performance.

8. Noise
Although all-season tires do not focus on the ultimate silence of tires, the quieter tires are undoubtedly the key plus point. The performance of the German Continental AllSeasonContact 2 is very good, and the tires are very quiet. The Hankook Kinergy 4S2, Michelin CrossClimate 2, and Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 are also very good, and the tires are very quiet.
