Bridgestone Weather Control A005 EVO
The Bridgestone Weather Control A005 EVO offers excellent grip in wet and dry conditions, short dry braking, and has the lowest rolling resistance among the tested tyres. These features make it a well-rounded tyre for drivers in areas with heavy rainfall or dry roads. However, its weaknesses lie in its limited snow performance with the longest braking, lowest traction, and most challenging snow handling lap. Additionally, it has the highest internal noise.
In tests by Tyre Reviews and Autobild, the Bridgestone Weather Control A005 EVO took third place in some categories, such as wet braking, wet circle cornering, dry handling, rolling resistance, snow braking, and comfort. Overall, the tyre performs well, especially on wet and dry roads, while also being fuel-efficient thanks to its low rolling resistance.
Falken EuroALL Season AS210
The Falken EuroALL Season AS210 offers the lowest internal noise combined with good snow traction and wet handling. However, it has average grip in the snow and dry and low aquaplaning resistance, making it less suitable for very wet or snowy areas. The tyre also has a very high rolling resistance, which might affect fuel efficiency.
Autobild tests ranked the Falken EuroALL Season AS210 in sixth place, with its best features being wet circle cornering, wet handling, dry handling, and comfort. Its good all-round performance makes it a suitable choice for drivers in areas with moderate weather conditions.
Summary and Verdict
The Bridgestone Weather Control A005 EVO excels in wet and dry conditions as well as in comfort and fuel efficiency, making it a better choice for drivers facing heavy rainfalls and dry roads. However, it performs poorly in snowy conditions, which makes it less suitable for winter driving.
On the other hand, the Falken EuroALL Season AS210 provides great all-round performance, with good snow traction and wet handling. However, its low aquaplaning resistance and high rolling resistance may be concerning.
Ultimately, choosing between the two tyres depends on the specific weather conditions and driver priorities. Both tyres have performed well in a variety of tests, highlighting their respective strengths and weaknesses. Consider individual driving scenarios, performance needs, and budgets when making the final decision.
