Below are all the data points for the 2016 Test World 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.
I never find test to 215/40/17 tyre size, i have Hankook Ventus V12 with 45000km done, and they are very poor in the wet since new. Before i hade Bridgestone Potenza RE050A, and i think they were best, however, mostly every test i saw before buy it, made me believe that the Hankook would be better. They are not, weak in the wet, and weak at high speed, good wear and very good fuel saving comparing with the Bridgestone
Because the results change with the tyre size, i read all this test but in the end i still not now wich tyre to buy and i'm needing 4 new tyres, that i can trust for the rigth price.
I find contradictory the Hankook tyre review, some test said they are great in the wet and here and others tests they are not so good. AuBild Test always put Hankook as "wet specialist". I use Hankook Ventus S1 for a while and they are really good in the wet, why this very different reviews? For 205/55/16 there are few choices for sport tyres, as I live in a mountainous (dangerous roads) environment with dramatic weather changes, there are other solutions for upgrading safety?
It's worth remembering the difference between the top tyres are now tiny, so while the comments were "relatively weak in the wet", they still beat Michelin and Pirelli overall, and were leagues ahead of the midrange brands like Toyo.
This still means they're an excellent wet weather tyre when compared to bad tyres, it's just they haven't quite matched the best Continental and Goodyear have to offer this time.
It is a pity that wear isn't taken into account with these tests, because if user reports are anything to go by the Sportcontact 5 does very badly.
In the list "New Summer Tyres" why RT2 and P Zero are not exist???
How original...
The Dunlop is mentioned, and the P Zero tested was the old pattern.
Wrong picture? Looks like the new PZ4.
I miss the PS4, dunno the Hakka Black and can´t remember that the PS3 ist that bad.
And the Toyo is more worse than Nankang, Maxxis etc. ? Can´t believe that
You are correct, it's sadly a limitation of our database, but we'll add a note to indicate it's the old P Zero!
