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.

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.
Hello, I have a Polo 6R 90PS and I want to buy 4 new tires for summer 185/60/15 what do you recommend? I'm thinking of buying Michelin Cross Climate 2,I'm not sure if it's the right decision
Hello, I have a Polo 6R 90PS and I want to buy 4 new tires for summer 185/60/15 and I choose 3 options Bridgestone T005, Vredestein SportTrac 5 and Dunlop Sport BluResponse and drive 60 km/day to work and home and most important I live in West Romania , what do you recommend?Thanks
Of the three I believe the T005 is the most proven in tests and reviews
Thanks!I wait for Black Friday for super discounts
And 1 think, I see on internet 2 specifications, 185/60/15 84H and 88H XL which is cheaper but more noise, the XL is more heavy?
Hi, this ranking is misleading, i read the ADAC test beacuse i could not understand why Toyo was ranked lower than Kumho when it scored better in almost all categories. Their ranking system is such that if a tyre scores badly enough in one category (which gets marked), that becomes its overall score with other categories contributing 0% and the tyres with the same score are written alphabetically, so Firestone,Kumho,Maxxis and Toyo are all ranked the same, also Continental,Falken and Semperit...it would be better to clearly make this known or people who just quickly glance at the ranking will think a tyre is better, when in truth its name is just alphabetically sooner. thank you&have a great day
I'll get the places updated. We do normally highlight when the tyres score the same, eg have 3 tyres in 6th place, but this must have been missed for this one.
Great. I also have a question: i was thinking of buying the Toyo Proxes, but i wasn't keen on its wet performance in this test and then i also saw it finished last in another wet braking test with 40 meters, 5 meters more than the best (Hankook Ventus Prime 3). So now i am thinking about the Turanza, Sportac 5 and Ventus Prime 3, but i am not sure i wanna pay as much as Turanza costs and i was most impressed with Ventus Prime 3 until i saw it finished almost last in 2017 ADAC test on account of wet performance, i don't understand how the tests can be so different. So can you help me arrange these 3 according to your recommendation? thank you very much :) (they would be 185/55 R15 for Renault Twingo)
Size plays and issue, also tyres often go through unannounced updates during their life, which can change the performance. Always look at the latest test data, and make sure you insist you get recently produced tyres from your retailer.
Ok, tnx i went for the Hankook. Have a great day
Do you have a link to the test on ADACs website?

ADAC also launched at the same time a test for the size 215/65 R16 C (Cargo).
Why not show it? They even mentioned the results of the wet braking and wear tests:

Althought they are not the most fun tyres, It's great information for those who have to work or take care everyday of vans, ambulances and mini vans (children transport incl.).
I would like to think that I'll cross the road with vans equipped with good tyres that won't crash into me easily. Unfortunately most of them seem to be terrible in the wet!...
I've 90% finished it, just been too busy to finish it recently :(
Oh, sorry, then! I hope the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 SUV test you did here in Portugal went fine. Would love to read about it! :)
That's also no the list to write up :(
By the way, on the Gity positive comments, you should probably meant to write "low noise" instead of "low wear", since it was the most silent tyre of this test.
About pirelli," positive: none mentioned"? When at other test by adac, it came at first place compared with some of the tires included in this test. Worst than petlas and Giti, almost the same as the Linglong. Ok Adac we will take your test under "serious" consideration.
I was thinking the same thing... The overall score is somehow not comprehensible. Just don't look at the list and read what you are actually looking for in a tyre, and then choose!
My bet is for the second time in a row Vredestein.
In my 2nd family car Vredestein Quatrac 5 are just way above anything else I've ever tried (I live in Milan so very hot summers, rare snow but cold Temps in winter, lots of rain).
Some absolutely bizarre results here!
The P1 Verde for example are definitely not that weak in the wet, from personal experience never mind other tests and reviews, and the Kumho ecowing frequently get scorned for their teflon qualities in the wet...
I am very perplexed!
Remember wet will include aquaplaning scores, and the P1 has been called a poor aquaplaning tyre before.
Here are the P1 Cinturato ADAC summer test 2019 details: https://www.adac.de/infotes...
P.S. I remember in one of the previous summer tests once it has not been published the results for the Cinturato P1 model, as they were not consistent among different samples produced in Italy and in Turkey.
