All season tyres are now one of the fastest growing parts of the UK tyre market – and 2025 and 2026 have brought the biggest shake-up the category has seen in years.
Michelin has replaced its class-leading CrossClimate 2 with the CrossClimate 3, and launched an all-season tyre built specifically for performance cars. Goodyear has replaced the Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 with the Vector All Season 4. Pirelli, meanwhile, has been winning group tests outright.
For those not familiar with the category, all season tyres are something of a hybrid. They are designed to deliver a good performance across various weather conditions – through spring, summer, autumn and winter.
Traditionally, you might have a set of summer tyres for the warmer months and winter tyres for the colder ones. All season tyres remove the need for that seasonal swap, which is why so many UK motorists have made the switch.
Below we look at the best all season tyres you can buy in 2026 – combining independent test results with what our own customers actually order and rate.
Michelin CrossClimate 3
The Michelin CrossClimate 3 arrived in the UK in July 2025 and is now Michelin’s flagship all season tyre, replacing the multi-award-winning CrossClimate 2.
Michelin claims a 4% improvement in wet grip and up to 15% more mileage compared with the CrossClimate 2. That comes from a new Thermal Adaptive Tread Compound that adjusts to changing road temperatures, a refined V-shaped tread pattern that keeps channelling water away as the tyre wears, and MaxTouch Construction for more even wear.
It carries the 3PMSF snowflake symbol, so it is officially approved for use in snow, and it is suitable for petrol, hybrid and electric vehicles.
Piano Acoustic Tuning Technology is used to keep road noise down.
