All season tyres, which ones?
« on: 27 June 2020, 13:14 »
I'm going down the route of all season tyres for use in the colder months and wondered which all season tyres people have used and recommend. I've seen the tyre reviews youtube where the top three are Michelin Crossclimate+, Goodyear vector 4 season gen2 and the Conti all season. Living in the North East the temperatures are usually that bit colder than down south but we don't really see that much snow so full winter tyres have been discounted. Anyone using either of the three tyres above?

How soon do you want these Chris? Costco are as cheap ss anywhere for Michelins and they have their discount promo on right now (that comes around every 9-12 weeks).
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

I put the continental all weather tyres on last sept , I am very impressed , they are quiet ,  fuel economy was up by a couple of mpg , I go into north wales a lot  driven in snow a few times , no problems at all

Has your car arrived yet I remember you saying it was getting cancelled if it hadn’t arrived by the end of the month

I put Michelin cross climates on my wife’s Beetle. She has commuted (trans Pennine) to Heathrow from the Peak District so had snow, ice etc. They have been very good. Both comfy and wear very well.
I also had them on a company car when I travelled to Scotland and the North East throughout winter. They were impressive. Not (by a long way) as good as full winters, but an excellent compromise if you only want one set of tyres.
Both cars were 18” so suited the available all season sizes.
I have a Golf R on 19” and did look at all season (very limited in 19’s) so have decided to go with full winters Nov to March as a local tyre place will price match and store tyres if you switch them at least once a year. Mind you, by then I may have sourced a second set of wheels as I’ve nearly bought a few sets but can’t decide which I like!

I think all season tyres on a second set will be just fine for me.
