Below are all the data points for the 2011 Subjective shootout - 255/40 R19 Max Performance Summer Tyres, 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.
Great test but at the same time a missed opportunity to report and the noise from these tyres (tires). Shame
Why cant we have all current high performance tyres tested back to back?
Apart from the obvious cost involved, not all ultra high performance tyres are made in the same sizes.
German Magazines such as http://www.tyrereviews.co.u... do a good job of testing most of them!
It would have been more scientific to swap the wheels and use the same car for all the tests. How can you possibly say your results are due to the tyre alone when you had 3 different cars?
Hi,
Thanks for your comments. While they were 3 different vehicles they were brand new, of identical specification and were setup exactly the same as each other, so the vehicle factor involved should have been minor.
When using the same vehicle and swapping the tyres there's a gap between the driving. When using 3 vehicles you can literally jump out of one and into another, giving you a much better mental impression of the subtle tyres differences.
Neither the Conti 5P or B'Stone S001 are available in 225/40 R18 Y 92 XL. Continental has delayed by nearly a year the release of the 5P tyre in this size.
The Goodyear has just been released and hopefully it will soon be available soon in this size.
