Let's compare two all-round tyres: the Michelin CrossClimate 2 and the Yokohama BluEarth-4S AW21.
The Michelin CrossClimate 2 stirred some attention as the successor of the Michelin CrossClimate. With a rating of 94%, it is presented as one of the main contenders in the all-round tyre category. According to test results from Autobild, the CrossClimate 2 offers secure and precise characteristics on dry and winter roads, considerable mileage prediction, and low consumption and wear. However, the tyre does show slight weakness on wet surfaces. This model placed 4th in ADAC's test and 2nd in Autobild's comparison.
On the other hand, the Yokohama BluEarth-4S AW21 scores lower with a rating of just 31%. In Autobild's summary, this model performs well on snowy surfaces but falls short in dry and wet conditions and also in terms of predicted mileage and wear. The high weight of the tyre was also noted. BluEarth-4S AW21 was ranked 14th by ADAC and 21st by Autobild. Both Michelin and Yokohama have a well-established presence in the tyre industry, showcasing a wide range of products.
In summary, the Michelin CrossClimate 2 stands out as the superior tyre overall. While it's pricier, the long-term benefits associated with lower fuel consumption and wear make it a worthwhile investment. That's not to say the Yokohama BluEarth-4S AW21 doesn't have its merits; it performs admirably on snowy surfaces and comes with a lower purchase price. Yet, its deficiencies across other conditions and high rolling resistance can't be overlooked.
The Michelin CrossClimate 2 is recommended for those prioritizing overall performance and fuel efficiency, while the Yokohama tyre may be a suitable choice for drivers who primarily navigate snowy terrains. It should be noted that Michelin CrossClimate 2 and Yokohama BluEarth-4S AW21 were developed with different markets in mind, and you should consider the specific needs of your vehicle and regular driving conditions when deciding between the two.
