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.
Good to see such a test. Here, in Romania, Debica Frigo 2 is frequently equipping cars as European winter tire, but no one knows it is a nordic winter tire. Maybe considering it belongs to a different category could explain its weaknesses in dry and wet.
I have to say that budget tyres performing poorly against premium tyres does nothing to portray the differences between euro and Nordic winter tyres!
It is representitive of the differences yeah but not particularly credible...
