All-season tyres are currently experiencing an unprecedented surge in popularity, leading manufacturers to invest heavily in their development. Test publishing organisations are also paying them more attention. For instance, Autobild conducts a comprehensive two-stage test on these tyres. In the first stage, the braking distance of the tyres is measured under both dry and wet conditions. Based on these results, candidates are chosen for the second, more in-depth stage. This year, 16 tyres made it to this round, culminating in the selection of the best all-season tyre for 2023 — according to Autobild's assessment.
