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.
In Sweden, we usually shorten "us carowners" to ViB. Vi just means "we"...
PS: any tyretesting in scandinavia, I volunteer to join, agendas permitting.... Love tyres ;)
Nexen should be last?
Score weighting can often effect overall results
Still odd, as the R3 bests the Nexen on all accounts except one, wet braking. Which does tend to hold high weighting, but still... R3 isn't even in the top three of best studdless nordic winter tyres this year, so as a studded tyre the Nexen is pretty awful...
Dry braking distance over 50 meters, that's scary! Too bad they didn't include any "european" winter tyre for comparison, that would be interesting. But... they also tested a studless nordic tires, and for the reference they included, as they call it, a "continental winter tyre" - not to be confused with the Continental ;)
