Below are all the data points for the 2011 Auto Bild All Season Tyre Test, displaying how each tyre performed across all test categories. The spider chart below provides a complete overview of performance, where one hundred percent represents the best performance in each category. The larger the area covered by each tyre's plot, the better its overall performance.
How to read these charts:
For each test category, data is presented relative to the best performing tire. The direction indicates whether lower or higher values are better - pay close attention to this when interpreting results.
Spider chart cannot be displayed because there are no test categories common to all tires.
What exactly are summer tyres and winter tyres. Surely tyre manufacturers don't expect us to change tyres twice a year.
I can't find this test on autobild. Do you have the exact link?
Sorry, for some reason we don't have the link archived.
The 2012 version of the test is easy to find on autobild (and here)
Bought the Goodyear Vector 4Seasons recently, due to living down single track country lanes, which are wet & muddy & having a couple of accidents purely down to lack of grip. these tyres are FANTASTIC & have made an incredible difference to grip, handling & stopping, totally transforming my drive, even though I already had decent tyres before.
Glad to hear you're enjoying them :)
where is other big brands such as michelin, pirelli, nokian, bridgestone?
Michelin and Pirelli don't make a "proper" all season tyre, Bridgestone are in 5th with the A001 and we're not sure where Nokian are!
The Hankook and Goodyear tyres have usually held the top two position in past tests. Hence surprised to see the Vredestein in 1st place in the 2011 test. What car/ tyre size did they use in the 2011 test? as this might be one of the things affecting the rankings. Strange the Hankook has the best rolling resistance yet comfort and noise scores aren't better(?) Personally I would still opt for Hankook or Goodyear over
Vredestein as their rankings have been more consistent over the years.
