Not every driver has the same priorities. Adjust the category weightings above to re-rank the tyres based on what matters most to your driving style.
Scores are colour-coded from red (weakest) through yellow to green (strongest) to help you quickly spot each tyre's strengths and weaknesses.
The original test ranking is shown in the # column. Arrows indicate how each tyre moves when your custom weighting is applied.
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.
