TyreRanker summary

In its 2026 test, Tyre Reviews compared 10 all-season tyres in size 225/40 R18 (test car: VW Golf GTI CS). Measured parameters from this test used by TyreRanker: 13.

In the tester's ranking, the best was the Goodyear Vector All Season 4, followed by Michelin CrossClimate 3 Sport and Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3. On measured results alone, the Goodyear Vector All Season 4 was also the best in this test (92 points).

Braking on snow: best Michelin CrossClimate 3 (26.5 m), weakest Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 (28.2 m) – a difference of 1.730 m, or 7%. Braking in the wet: best Michelin CrossClimate 3 Sport (31.8 m), weakest Royal Black Royal AS II (43.8 m) – a difference of 12.0 m, or 38%. Braking in the dry: best Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 (35.5 m), weakest Royal Black Royal AS II (39.3 m) – a difference of 3.8 m, or 11%.

The Michelin CrossClimate 3 won the most test categories (3: braking on snow, acceleration on snow and handling on snow). The Royal Black Royal AS II finished last in the tester's ranking.

The Michelin CrossClimate 3 was No. 8 in the tester's ranking, but No. 5 in this test by TyreRanker score. In the measurements it was at or near the top in “braking on snow”, “handling on snow” and “acceleration on snow”, where TyreRanker's methodology applies a high weighting. The tester's overall rating also gives substantial weight to subjective assessments (driving feel, noise, comfort) that the measured results do not show. In the combined ranking of all tests, the CrossClimate 3 is No. 7 out of 10 tyres.

The tester's winner, the Goodyear Vector All Season 4, is No. 2 out of 10 tyres in the combined ranking of all tests.
