All-season tires increasingly popular: ÖAMTC test shows "ambivalent" result
Some all-season tires have significantly improved and could represent a real alternative for infrequent drivers, says Kerbl, but at the same time, the quality range within the product group is also growing. Particularly large differences have been observed in the area of driving safety, such as the braking distance on dry roads at a speed of 100. On snow-covered roads, according to Kerbl, the differences in braking distance were not as noticeable.
The performance on dry, wet, and winter roads largely conflicts with the tire's mileage. While the good tires score well in both driving safety and mileage, those rated "insufficient" have not resolved this conflict. "The high mileage comes at the expense of driving safety in these models. Therefore, these tires can only be advised against," explains the ÖAMTC tire expert.
