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.
I love my Zlines on Mercedes CLK V8 Cabrio. In NE USA, I don't drive it in winter, but sometimes in cold/wet, so it's perfect....performance tire w/all-season compound.
"It's not often you see a tyre test where the highest placed premium manufacturer is placed in fifth place, and often test winning Goodyear and Michelin brands are eighth and ninth respectively..."
While that's true, it is probably slightly modified by the following:
-a Michelin PS4 or PS4s would have probably been a rather better scorer in this sort of test than a rather middle-of-the-road Prim 3. Doesn't make them 'better' tyres but in what is largely a performance test sporty tyres would score better. And, if you are going Primacy, why not Prim 4 rather than 3?
-Similarlry for Conti, a SportContact would surely have been a better scorer.
(Which all raises questions about what the Marketing depts at those companes were thinking when they selected whch tyres to submit.)
And then there is wear. There does not appear to be a score for wear and I'd be prepared to bet that both the Conti and the Michelin would move up the order a bit if their wear scores were included with a reasonable weight..
