Funnily enough I was watching their latest all season tyre test ( https://www.tyrereviews.com/Article/...-Tyre-Test.htm ) on Friday, and I was amazed at how things have changed since last year.

The new Cross Climate 2 has improved in leaps and bounds, whereas the Bridgestone Evo... not as much. Its a shame that they didn't include the Hankook again this year as I'd like to see how they perform against these - I currently have a set of these fitted and they're very good when the temps start to drop.

So my decision will be between the Goodyear Vector Gen 3 (I have an unexplainable bias towards them lol) and the Michelin Cross Climate 2 now - which is tempered by the effects of climate change that apparently mean we'll be getting less snow and more heavy rainfall.

Having said all of this, if you look at the actual stats and not the ratings, you'll see the top 4 or so are all so close that we probably wouldn't notice the difference in the real world!
