    Is your rank not defined by the total score?
    looks like PC6 is best SUV tyre?

      Auto Bild place weighting on different scores, for example wet grip has a high importance than dry grip in the overall results.

    Strange, The Continentals is awarded quietest tyre and awarded a 8. But it's weakpoints lists "noisey"... Which is it?

      It should have scored 7, not 8, and the comment should be "a little noisy" not "noisy". Thanks for pointing out the error.

    Something is odd here, Continental PC6 have low rolling resistance in positive but only score of 1.
    Shouldn't that score be higher if it has low rolling resistance?

      You are right, it should be 9! We'll get the site updated
