The Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 came in third, and while this specific tire also doesn’t appear to be offered in the U.S., Bridgestone does offer several all-season Turanzas here, including the Turanza Prestige, which is likely the closest equivalent. It performed incredibly well in wet conditions, while also doing better than expected in the snow and also providing excellent dry handling. As far as downsides go, it wasn’t the quietest tire tested, had high rolling resistance and could have been quieter.

Second place, however, went to the Continental AllSeasonContact 2, which performed very well in most tests and proved to be well-balanced across all categories. It also had the lowest rolling resistance of any tire tested, which should be great for fuel economy, even if it was a little loud and had below-average aquaplaning resistance. If you live in the U.S., though, you’re out of luck, because it doesn’t appear that Continental plans to offer it here.

First place went to the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3, which, at worst, performed average (in snow traction and rolling resistance) and offered incredible performance overall, including the best snow handling, as well as the quickest dry handling lap. Like the other tires, though, it doesn’t appear to be available in the U.S., and there’s no clear U.S. equivalent.

So why even write about this video at all if so many of the tires tested aren’t available for most of our readers? Because while they weren’t able to get the Michelin CrossClimate3 or 3 Sport for this specific test, if you plug in the previous testing data, the CrossClimate3 Sport would have been the overall winner. Which means, even if you can’t get your hands on a set right this moment, they’ll almost definitely be worth the wait.
