The Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 has been named the best all-season tire in two of the most prestigious independent tests. The tire took first place among 30 competitors in Auto Bild’s mega comparison and also secured the top spot in Tyre Reviews’ “Best All-Season Tyres for 2025/26” ranking.
In Auto Bild’s September 2025 issue, the Cinturato All Season SF3 emerged as the clear winner after being tested in size 225/40 R18 against 30 rival products. Judges praised its balanced performance across all weather conditions, particularly highlighting its:
Excellent wet grip and aquaplaning resistance
Strong dry handling and braking values
Reliable performance on snow and durability tests
Auto Bild described the tire as “exemplary” and “especially recommended for drivers looking for sporty handling and high safety on both dry and wet roads.” This win follows the tire’s previous recognition as Auto Bild’s All-Season Product of the Year in 2024.
The Cinturato All Season SF3 also topped Tyre Reviews’ 2025/26 all-season test, which compared nine tires in size 205/45 R17 across 15 different challenges, from dry laps to snowy braking.
Tyre Reviews concluded: “There’s very little this tire cannot do.” Highlights included:
Best-in-class dry braking and lap times
Superior steering response
Outstanding wet grip in aquaplaning, braking, and cornering
Excellent traction, braking, and handling on snow
Low noise levels
This marks the second consecutive year the Cinturato All Season SF3 has won Tyre Reviews’ all-season crown.
Developed for compact and mid-size cars, the Cinturato All Season SF3 is available in 15- to 20-inch sizes and has consistently achieved top results in independent tests, including a “very good” rating from ADAC.
Key innovations include:
Advanced polymers and optimized molds for lower rolling resistance and noise (EU Label: A/B rating)
Directional tread pattern with wider grooves and 3D sipes that evolve as the tire wears, ensuring strong grip even on snow
Top-tier wet braking performance (EU Label: A rating)
Certified by TÜV SÜD Performance Mark for quality
Building on this success, Pirelli has extended its all-season lineup with the Scorpion All Season SF3, designed specifically for SUVs. Available in 17- to 21-inch sizes, it incorporates the same award-winning technologies as the Cinturato while meeting the unique needs of high-riding vehicles. Like its sibling, the Scorpion All Season SF3 also features Pirelli Elect technology, tailored to enhance the performance of electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles.
With back-to-back victories in Auto Bild and Tyre Reviews, along with ongoing recognition from industry leaders, the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 reaffirms its position as the benchmark for all-season performance, safety, and sustainability.
