Below are all the data points for the 2015 AMS Performance 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.
The most useless test so far comparing tyres from different categories. You see the premium touring Goodyear against the UHP Uniroyal and the max performance continental... What is the point? Like comparing a sports car to a pickup truck. And also, the Michelin seem to be absent from every test. I can't believe anymore that there never is a set available. Just order it online or something, it will be there in 3 to 5 days...
And another thing is that continental tyres wear wayyyy to fast, compared to the other brands. That for most buyers is THE most important factor when buying new tyres... Do we really need to continue complaining about all these things? As the biggest user based tyre reviewing site, could you please at least transfer to them what I and a lot other users want to see in the reviews?
And where is the Michelin Primacy 3? or Michelin PS3?
A good question, one we don't have the answer to. The most likely reason is stock availability at the time of testing.
Whatever the reason for excluding the Michelins renders the whole test biased and therefore untrustworthy. Were they really so afraid of the Michelins and the results they would get? Phew
?? It's hard to see either Michelin being anything but a mid-ranker in this field. Whatever the reason for their non-appearance (CIA plot or . . . .) I don't think the SC5 would have been troubled by Michelin's presence.
