Adjust Result Weighting
The overall scores below are calculated using our weighting system. Since the original publication may use a different scoring methodology that wasn't shared, these results may differ from their published rankings. You can adjust the weightings below to explore how different priorities affect the results.

Cells are colour-coded from green (best) to red (worst). The Total Score reflects the weighted sum of all categories. A ★ marks the best tyre in each test.

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.
where are the non-eco Michelins?
Michelin will have nominated the pattern for the test
What temperature were the tests conducted at? (can make a huge difference)
Unfortunately that data wasn't published to our knowledge, but we're led to believe around the 7c mark.
Probably a bit late to this, but when talking about the all-season tyres above, it mentions the "summer months", so hopefully these were tested in temperatures a little warmer than 7C...
Test results no. 2-15 are erroneous: http://www.autobild.de/bild...
Hi And,
We copied the results from the magazine copy of the article.
I find it interesting that even the worst performing tyres here were far better than the "typical braking distance" quoted in the Highway Code (55 metres). I've always suspected these figures were a bit out of date - presumably based on an average car of the '70s, with drum brakes and cross-ply tyres!
Your assumption wouldn't be far wrong. That said, a 10 metres difference in braking can be the difference between no crash, and a very very big crash!
This may sound daft but you state "All the results below are based on how much longer than the benchmark tyre they took to stop. The best in the dry was the Dunlop at 35.5 metres, and the best in the wet was the Continental at 42.5 metres." Longer presumes measurements are in seconds (otherwise you'd have said further), but then you start chatting away in metres. Please clarify.
Fair point - we'll update the header, it should have been further!
Was this from 100 kph to standstill? or decelerating from 100 to 20 kph, or something else?
From 100kph - they don't list a stopping speed.
Which are the results for Energy Saver + and Kormoran Runpro B2 in metres?
