Grand Touring All-Season Tires

Grand Touring is the most common category, where tires excel in wet and winter conditions, relatively, featuring advanced siping, and mostly 3PMSF and M+S ratings, with a blend of winter tire characteristics for better cold weather grip.

These all-season tires offer a balance between performance in snow and on dry roads, with a focus on comfort and reduced noise through pitch sequencing. And yes, they typically come with warranties over 60k miles and have H and V speed ratings, predominately.

Michelin CrossClimate 2

Renowned for its snow performance, the Michelin Crossclimate 2 leads the way, and of course, it’s rated with the 3 peak mountain snowflake rating. Moreover, the tire is exceptional in both dry and wet conditions too, where its dry traction slightly outshines the wet performance.

Continental PureContact LS

The Continental PureContact LS balances performance across parameters, excelling in lateral grip and hydroplaning resistance. The tire offers winter traction, which is adequate, and its advanced design ensures optimized fuel efficiency and longevity.

Bridgestone WeatherPeak

The Bridgestone WeatherPeak favors wet over dry performance. While grip is limited, it offers lower rolling resistance, beneficial for fuel economy and tread wear. Moreover, it’s comfort levels are high, though noise reduction could be better a bit, in my experience.

Firestone WeatherGrip

The Firestone WeatherGrip shines in wet and winter conditions but struggles in dry performance, particularly with braking and steering responsiveness. Despite this and consistent road noise, its fuel efficiency, tread life, and design are praiseworthy, surprisingly.

Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady

The Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady excels in dry conditions but has room for improvement in wet. Though that doesn’t go for its hydroplaning resistance, which is pretty awesome, and yes, it’s winter performance is also one of the best (earning it with 3 peak mountain rating). Though comfort and noise reduction are moderate. And you’d not be impressed by it’s fuel efficiency and tread life either.

Michelin Primacy Tour A/S

The Michelin Primacy Tour A/S offers standout dry performance and steering due to its specific design, but lags in wet conditions. And the reason is it’s stiffer rubber, which also hinders it’s ice and snow performance. Moreover, while the tire is average in fuel economy and tread mileage, it impresses with noise comfort and ride quality.

Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4

Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 variant provides well-rounded performance. It offers responsive steering and reliable traction across dry and wet terrains. While it has room for improvement in comfort, its winter performance is top-tier in its category. However, its exceptional qualities come with a higher price tag.

Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 Plus

The Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus, while having areas for enhancement, shines as a solid high-performance all-season tire. It offers exceptional dry road braking and acceleration, stellar hydroplaning resistance, and impressive wet grip. On the downside, its steering may feel slightly artificial, and though designed for noise reduction, its ride comfort and bump cushioning need a little bump up still.

BF Goodrich g-Force Comp-2 A/S PLUS

The BF Goodrich g-Force Comp-2 A/S PLUS showcases superb dry lateral grip and hydroplaning resistance in wet conditions. But its central voids compromise dry stopping power, and yes, its wet steering could be enhanced too. Moreover, while it provides decent fuel economy and a satisfactory 45k mile tread life, its aggressive design leads to more road noise and a slightly rigid ride, relatively speaking.

I’ve also compared it with following tires.

General G-MAX AS-05

The General G-MAX AS-05 offers strong dry grip due to its silica-rich compound but can be over-responsive in steering. While decent in the wet, its performance in snowy conditions is slightly lagging, due to it’s harder rubber composition. This stiffer rubber also impacts ride comfort but at the same time enhances the tire’s tread life, so you get 50,000-mile warranty here, which is great given that it’s a UHP AS tire.

Standard touring all-season tires are an ideal choice for many drivers, skillfully balancing key features such as dry traction, durability, and fuel efficiency, all at an affordable price point. These tires stand out for their long tread life, often accompanied by warranties exceeding 70,000 miles. They are also constructed to be lightweight, featuring predominantly symmetrical tread patterns for optimal performance.

Designed for versatility, these tires are suitable for year-round use, as indicated by the M+S (Mud and Snow) symbol. They artfully combine the sleek appearance of performance tires with the ride comfort typical of passenger tires.

Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3

The Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3 offers stable handling but can improve in dry grip and wet braking. Moreover, when it comes to aquaplaning, the tire shows occasional understeer, and winter performance is also like that.

Michelin Latitude Tour HP

Michelin Latitude Tour HP is a decent performer on dry roads, thanks to its well engineered design. Yet, it could use improvements in wet conditions. Winter traction is impressive, even without the 3-Peak Mountain Snowflake certification. And as for fuel efficiency, the tire truly shines, resulting from its silica composition. Lastly, areas like ride comfort and noise level could be enhanced.

Firestone Destination LE3

The Firestone Destination LE3 delivers praiseworthy dry traction and braking, owing to its thoughtfully crafted grooves. Yet, handling could see enhancement. Moreover, wet conditions highlight its improvements, with the full-depth sipes making a difference. Though, in terms of snow grip, the tire is, you can say just okay. Also, while the tire operates quietly, there’s room to refine its ride comfort. But both fuel efficiency and tread life deserve a nod, due to its minimal rolling resistance generation.
