10 models in 245/45 R17: Which all-season tires come out on top in the tire test?
Winter tests in Lapland, summer tests in Spain: A joint test shows how ten current all-season tires perform in a tough test.
A joint test by "Auto Zeitung", Automobil-Club Verkehr (ACV), Auto-, Motor- und Radfahrerbund Österreich (ARBÖ), and Gesellschaft für Technische Überwachung (GTÜ) evaluated 10 sets of 245/45 R17 all-season tires. The tires, priced between €325 and €525, were tested in various conditions, including snow, wet and dry roads, in Lapland and Spain.
The Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF 3 was the clear winner, praised for its good snow performance and top-notch summer capabilities. The test found that while all-season tires can be a good compromise, they may not be the best choice for drivers who frequently encounter extreme weather conditions. The GTÜ awarded the top 7 tires a "sehr empfehlenswert" (highly recommended) rating.
