  "account": "When purchasing new all-season tires, consumers are faced with a wide range of options due to the various dimensions available. Tests play a crucial role in making the decision, as tires must successfully bridge the gap between two distinct seasons with entirely different requirements. This was also determined by a joint test conducted by Auto Zeitung, Automobil-Club Verkehr (ACV), Automotive, Motor and Bicycle Union (ARBÖ), and the Society for Technical Surveillance (GTÜ). The tires had to perform well in both summer and winter conditions. The testers examined models in the 245/45 R17 size, which are commonly found on compact models. The focus of the testers was on ten tire sets priced between 325 and 525 euros per set. ACV stated, \"The requirements are high: The tires must impress in summer heat as well as in rain and on snow.\" Modern models have reached \"a high level of performance on snow,\" according to GTÜ. However, at the same time, the demand remains for high performance in high summer temperatures, as they must also perform well during the summer. The key factor is the interaction of properties on snow as well as on wet and dry roads. The test wanted to know how well the individual candidates achieve this. The decisive test was held in north Sweden in Lapland for the winter tests, and in sunny Spain for the wet and dry tests, according to ACV. The clear winners on the podium are the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF 3, priced around 475 euros per set. Thanks to its good snow properties and top performance in summer conditions, it stands out. In second place is the Continental AllSeasonContact 2, priced at around 510 euros for four tires. While it focuses more on winter disciplines, it still offers a balanced performance. Third on the podium is the Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 at 485 euros per set. Due to its long braking distances on dry roads, it \"missed out on a better rating - otherwise a strong result.\" The most expensive model is in fourth place. The Michelin CrossClimate 3, priced at 525 euros, outperforms many winter tires on snow but sacrifices wet grip. Places nine and ten are occupied by the two cheapest sets, tested at 325 and 425 euros, respectively. As seen with the test winner, quality is not solely determined by price, as the final result is only 50 euros per set more expensive than the last-place model. The outcome is ultimately pleasing - the first seven tires were rated as \"very recommended\" by GTÜ. All-season tires remain a compromise, with some considering them a suitable all-year tire, while others see them as an alternative for those who primarily live in mild winter regions and can forego their cars during extreme weather. The ACV advises those who frequently travel through snowy regions or plan to drive long distances on highways in extreme heat during the summer to consider specialized tires for the respective season instead. Additionally, the ACV notes that even a highly rated all-season tire may not be the best choice for every usage scenario.",
