Passenger Car All Season Premium Touring Tyres

Is not a tyre for powerful cars or for fast driving but is 100% safe in any condition. Perfect for average family and budget friendly. No so good like Michelin Crossclimate 2 but 10x better than any Chinese brand tyres. Next set i will be buing Nexen 4Season 2.

1st blew at 30mph at 7,000 miles. Second ContiProContact 255 40 17 blew at 23,000. examination. After examination was told it had gotten a bubble/ failed before it blew. Discovered 3rd tire also had bubble. Replacment of first and two remaining had 6 to 8/32 of tread left. Was told I would be negligent, liable, not Continental, if another tire blew, I wrecked, hurt someone else, if I didn't remove, throw away these 3 tires with most of their tread left, after 3 out of 4 in set failed. Continental would not stand behind their tires, not event he ones that blew unless I hired an expert for more than the cost of 3 new Michelins, to prove a defect. Don't risk your family with defective Continental tires. Now a very happy Michelin owner.

Great daily-driver kind of tire. Fitted to an E46 330i on stock Style 73's, really makes me wish I had wider wheels. Dry grip is good, not great. This is not a pure-performance tire, definitely more on the side of a highway cruiser that can do anything relatively safely. Ran into one or two small issues in snow and ice grip, but excusable since it's an all-season meant for passenger cars.

I've now done around 16.000 km / 10.000 miles across all possible conditions, from hot summer to a very snowy winter and can say that it is a fantastic product for normal daily driving. My impressions:<br />
- In summer it feels like a comfort oriented touring tyre, which is absolutely fine for an all-season. The grip it there if you push it, it will flex a lot, but it will hold traction very well,<br />
- In the wet it's very impressive, even in cold. The comparison to my previous Michelin Cross Climate 2 is like night and day,<br />
- In snow it fells like an OK/average winter tire, which I think is very good for an all-season. I did try it in all kinds of snow, ice and mud, even on a completely white road in the mountains and didn't any problems with setting off, stopping or turning.<br />
You have to keep in mind that this is not a sports tire, it will not give you any sporty feel, but it's not designed to do so. However, for normal, daily driving, it's very, very good, the first one in my life I could really call an all-season, because it's performing well in all conditions. The previous generation of all-season tires (like the Cross Climate 2 I had) always had a weak spot, but this one doesn't really have one. I am yet to measure the wear, but an eyeball test tells me it's not bad.

Absolutely horrendous tyre. Stock tyre on 2023 Hyundai Tuscon and tread on all four tyres is deterioriating. Chunks of it are breaking off. Waiting to see what Hyundai says before we replace tyres and send Hyundai the bill.

My Pirellis performed just fine in all conditions, it's, in my opinion one of the few good 4season tires worth buying.<br />
<br />
Despite the little mileage, I drove my car in all sorts of roads, city, highway, in all sorts of conditions, ranging from dry to soaking wet, deep snow and thick road ice.<br />
<br />
The tires feel absolutely excellent in dry and wet conditions. I usually drive regularly, but even when I got a little spirited both in dry or wet, the tires were able to take the abuse and never lost traction (really surprised me how much better these are in the wet compared to the old set of budget tires I had!) (I couldn't remember the name of those.)<br />
<br />
My opinion for the tires performance in snowy and icy conditions is mostly positive, there are a few things to keep in mind however.<br />
<br />
in snow, while the tires behaved as expected, I had a couple moments of wheel spin (but those were mostly from spirited driving, otherwise, if you are careful with the brakes, turning and acceleration, they behave fine.)<br />
Notable moment was when I didn't have a snow shovel and there was about 7 inches of snow my rims were buried in, turned DSTC off and sent it, and the car came barrelling out of the snow trap with little issues.<br />
<br />
I was surprised by it's performance on ice. Really, really good feedback on when the wheels start losing grip in turns. Otherwise, if you plan on driving at regular speeds in ice, refer to the point above and won't have any issues.<br />
<br />
Overall, I would buy it again, It's excellent for regular and spirited driving in dry or rain.<br />
<br />
And doesn't let you down in snow and ice (although don't try to drive your car like an F1 car in those conditions with these tires.)

My experience so far (5k miles) with the Vredestein HiTrac All Season tires is great. These tires are 100% better than the original Falken tires that came on the new vehicle. The vehicle handles much better in every aspect. Handling on wet roads, dry roads, stopping and cornering are much better with the Vredestein tires. Comfort and noise levels are fine. Comfort is very good, but noise levels are just good in my observation. My vehicle and its sound insulation or lack of may be the reason for more road noise. Very pleased with my purchase.

I fitted this tyre on a new Fiat 600 hybrid, straight at car delivery, replacing the OE summer Goodyear's. I therefore have no benchmark compared to the summer OE's.<br />
Fitted in early December, i had the chance to drive them on dry, wet and also some snow due to latest weather conditions.<br />
the tyre was superb in all levels of grip. it is also very quiet and comfortable, despite the 18 inch and (relative) low aspect ratio.<br />
Handling is soft and with delayed response, but i attribute this more to the car overall soft suspensions and chassis settings, rather than the tyre itself.<br />
A very good tyre at a fantastic price point. And apparently the press agrees with me. <br />
Well done GT!

Wonderful tyre. I am absolutely impressed after the harsh winter of 2026. I use it in Hungary with summers reaching 40 °C and winters well below freezing (especially in 2026 with several weeks of snow and freezing rain). After 3 years, I must say this the perfect all-year tyre for this climate. <br />
Jon claims that some snow grip should be sacrificed for better wet performance, but after this winter, I dare to disagree. Michelin understood that you need every piece of grip in the snow to keep you mobile and safe even in rare winter conditions. This is exactly what makes CC2 a real all-year tyre. True, there is some uncertainty in heavy rain, but you can easily manage it with reduced speed. A perfect tyre on the dry, limited wear even in summer heatwaves and winter-tyre-like capabilities in the snow: a miracle tyre indeed.

Very good tyre in all conditions, quiet which is very important to me, very good grip in wet & snow, I didn't push it to limit on dry though. One thing which bothers me is the stiffness of the sidewall/tyre, car is significantly harder with them, bumping much more than previous summer tyre (Michelin Primacy 3). Other than that I'm very satisfied with this tyre, also wear doesn't seem to be an issue, I'm using them 2nd winter and 1 summer between them (around 12k miles/20k kms) and I guess they will last at least the same amount of miles, if not more.

This is a further update on the Goodyears. Previously I had complained about the poor fuel consumption with these tyres. After 3,000 miles, there has been some improvement hence this review. However I estimate I am still around 2 mpg down with these tyres.<br />
<br />
I have never experienced this before with new tyres, but it has taken over 2,000 miles for these Goodyear Vector 3’s to ‘bed in’. There is definitely less resistance from the tyres now, and the car will freewheel further. Fuel consumption has improved, but it is still not as good as my previous tyres - Kleber Quadraxer 3’s. Apart from that gripe, the tyres are excellent.<br />
<br />
I drive a lot in Italy and generally the locals don’t hang around. So you need a car that is agile and tyres that will grip well. Certainly on wet and greasy roads, the Goodyears really hold on. Wet braking is good too. I have not had a chance to try them on snow or ice. <br />
<br />
The Goodyears make the car feel more chuckable and it changes direction without hesitation. The ride quality though, maybe because of this, is not so forgiving. It is just a question now of how long they will last, and when their performance might start to drop off.<br />
<br />
In the future I will certainly pay more attention to the rolling resistance of tyres, and will choose a tyre with the lowest. It really does seem to make a difference.
