Below are all the data points for the 2012 European Summer Tyre Test - 205/55 R16, 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.
Is there an explanation anywhere of how your ratings in each category work? Are the ratings linear? IE, will a tyre with a wear of 4 wear out twice as fast as a tyre with a wear of 8?
These scores were directly converted from the original article where sadly there is no indication of a scale. Your assumption is a sound one though.
where is No.8 ?????????
Noted at the bottom:
The "Formula C" tyre finished in 8th place with the best marks for wear and a low fuel consumption, but a weakness in the wet. Unfortunately at time of writing we couldn't find enough information to include it in our database.

Nice to see Optigrip doing well. Apart from mine, I haven't seen these on any other cars!

Strange, Michelin tyres were sold out ????????
It is strange Michelin weren't in this test. They were in the 165/70 R14 test with the Michelin Energy Saver (and finished second). That's due to go live tomorrow so we'll link it then!
