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.
Each cell shows a bar comparing the tyre to the class leader for that test — a longer bar means stronger performance. Bar colour matches the test category.
The original test ranking is shown in the # column. Arrows indicate how each tyre moves when your custom weighting is applied.

    Why is the Goodyear 6th when it has the same score as the Michelin?

      Most likely based on the score weighting of each result.

    two things surprise me
    the ecocontact 5, though sound in the wet, is beaten by quite a few tyres (i expected it to be class-leading) and moreover, these include two tyres that are generally noted as poor in the wet - michelin energy and pirelli p1.  the michelin "best in wet" result astonishes me; perhaps they were frightened by the compulsory labelling reulations and changed their compound.

      The Michelin Energy Saver has seemed to gone through a number of updates recently... unfortunately we've heard nothing from Michelin to confirm that.
