SHOULD YOU SWITCH?

AS we’ve focused more on the cold, damp conditions most UK drivers endure in winter, our test winner is not simply a cold-weather tyre with more wet and dry road performance. Michelin’s Crossclimate + is a fine buy, even if it trails on snow. But running one set all year is still a compromise, as the Continental and Dunlop prove. Your decision to switch ultimately comes down to budget and how much you’re prepared to pay to have the ideal tyre for the conditions.
