Yokohama BluEarth-4S AW21 Michelin CrossClimate 2
All season tyres have picked up in popularity in recent years, offering customers a solid option for driving in all weather conditions.
Two tyre brands that have been producing quality all season tyre models are Yokohama and Michelin, which can be shown through Yokohama’s BluEarth-4S AW21 and Michelin’s CrossClimate 2.
We will cover both tyre models in this article, outlining their key features and drawing conclusions on what makes both tyres so popular.
BluEarth-4S AW21 Overview
The Yokohama BluEarth-4S AW21 is an all season tyre model released by the Japanese tyre brand in 2018.
Designed for both small and large family cars, the BluEarth-4S AW21 is developed with a directional V-groove tread pattern, channelling surface water away which minimises the risk of aquaplaning.
Yokohama’s all season tyre is also produced with large shoulder blocks on the tyre’s tread pattern, enhancing the tyre’s durability during dry performance.
Grip is also enhanced in lower temperatures through the BluEarth-4S AW21’s silica end-locked compound.
A great tyre that operates in the mid-range segment, the BluEarth-4S AW21 offers strong performance in both wet and dry surfaces.

Michelin’s flagship all season tyre is the CrossClimate 2, a premium tyre model that was released back in 2020.
The capabilities of this tyre are underscored by its Three Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) marking. This EU-sanctioned label certifies that the tyre has undergone standardized, supervised, and rigorous testing for winter performance.
The CrossClimate 2 features a Cool Running Sidewall, which helps reduce fuel consumption and extends battery range for electric vehicles. This design lowers rolling resistance by 10% compared to the previous model.
Additionally, this all season tyre boasts a thermal adaptive tread compound, allowing it to adapt to varying driving conditions.
Upon the CC2’s release, it replaced the Michelin CrossClimate+.
