Below are all the data points for the 2013 Auto Bild All Season Tyre Test, 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 this a joke? quatrac 3 won the 2011. in 2013 they've scored lower? same category and out of blue the BSa001's and GY4s are better?
Tyre technology moves on all the time, even if tyre names don't. This year (2014), the Quatrac Lite comes 3rd, behind Pirelli and Goodyear.
We'll have that published soon.
Excellent, looking forward to reading the 2014 test results
Why no Pirelli tyres
We're not sure the only true European 4Season tyre Pirelli have was available in time for this test:

Odd analysis. The winning tyre is the Falken. That is quite clear from the data. Factor in price (the Falken is, on my research, about 25% cheaper than the inferior Goodyear) and it is beyond any argument. Am I missing something?
Auto Bid use score weighting, which means our simple totalling doesn't always give an accurate impression.
I wished I had read this before! I just brought some nexen n priz 4s as the eu label is quite good compared to other tyres plus it was good value!
The treadpattern is exactly the same! Althought the compound might be different...
Isn't the all-season Falken Euroall Season As200 identical to the discontinued winter tyre Falken Eurowinter HS439 (at least tread-pattern-wise)? I actually happened to use that tyre in the winter between 2010 & 2012 and it seemed more of an all-season tyre, as it was very quiet and with good characteristics on dry and wet tarmac, average on compacted snow but of noticeably limited pulling power in deep, fresh snow.
Interesting point Adam, we'll ask Falken!
We've asked Falken on twitter, and they've replied saying the compound is updated - https://twitter.com/tyrerev...
Compare Bridgestone A001 with Bridgestone LM-25/LM-20. Same situation.
Do you know what kind of winter tyre was used? I think it's quite important, especially when it got beaten by a all-season tyre.
Unfortunately this isn't something Auto Bild publish :(
