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.

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.
What temperature where the wet tests taken under. I thought winter tires out performed summer tires at lower temperatures in the wet.
Auto Bild didn't list the temperatures. The tyre companies list 7c as the crossover point between summer and winter tyres, but in reality it's much closer to freezing.
How come the only "A" rated tyre for wet tracktion - Nokian D4 is showing such poor wet results ... just a five... Are Nokian bending the truth? Is the standard set up in a way that is not objectively measuring the behavioral/performance aspects of the tyre? Is the test bias towards the big 5 (4 in this case I see no Bridgestone and Goodyear they can not be worse than Horizon .....) ?
The tyre label only tests one category, wet braking, whereas Auto Bild have tested wet braking, handling, circle, and aquaplaning scores meaning they give a much more complete view of a tyre's wet performance.
That said, the Nokian was still only 5th best under wet braking (6th if you count the summer tyre), but we're extremely confident it is no test bias involved. Test conditions can change the balance of test performances but quite a margin.
