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.

    the problem is which subject is important.. wet and dry braking or wet and dry handing? All normal people drive slowly and carefully at wet conditions. Braking is much more important than driving speed. Faster driving can makes a little more time saved but better braking can save your life and your car. as my opinion, this test system does not show what's important. atb test system, every subject does not have the same weight in overall .

    Compare Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance with Bridgestone Turanza T005, the goodyear beat the bridgestone in everything why the final results put it 10th place vs 3rd place?

      We don't cover all their data, if you check out the full test in the link you should have a better idea of why they were ranked as they were

    In 175/65 R15 size, what is the best tyre regarding handling and steering precision? I like stiff sidewalls. My car is tall and light and in highway it sways a bit. I have Michelin Energy Saver Plus tyres and I think there are sportier alternatives. Thanks in advance for your help.

      No one really tests sidewall strength in that size. Track day tyres, if any, will be best, but as for normal road tyres, you might have to go and see for yourself. Older / cheaper tyres usually have stiffer sidewalls.

    I have a Renault Talisman with 225/55R17 101W tires and I live in northern Italy. The snow is a rarity and most of the year is rainy or dry. I usually drive 10000km/year and I was looking for an all season tire. These tires are available to me at the following costs:

    Hankook kinergy 4S2 (97€/Tire)
    Bridgeston weather control A005 (105€/Tire)
    Goodyear Vector 4 Seasons G2 (113€/Tire)
    Michelin CrossClimate+ (123€/Tire)

    I really appreciate your help on which tire to choose that best suits my needs. thank you so much in advance.
    Best Regards

      If you can stretch to the Crossclimate this is where my money would go if snow was a rarity rather than the norm

        Thank you so much again for your kind help. I will definitely go with the Michelin as you suggested. Have a great day and all the best.

    I need new front tyres to replace Vredestein Vortis, what would be a good All season match as there's loads of tread on the rear?

    1. TyreReviews Geoff Adams archived

      There's sadly no good way of matching an all season and summer tyre, you'll have dry, wet and handling differences.

    Hello Greg and Mark S!

    The final results are correct!

    If you read the original Auto-Navigator website,the score tables show up two other columns:
    "Fuel Efficiency" and "Wear"... ;)

    In both of theses columns,the "Continental AllSeasonContact" tires do better than "Michelin CrossClimate" and also better than "Bridgestone Weather Control A005" !

    Salute!

      It remains confusing. Are these 2 categories so important to overcome the results in the other 5 categories? I dont think so. The results are not right

    I do not understand the final results...

    The 6th Continental is not better than 8th Bridgestone in any metrics...

    1. Mark S Greg archived

      Exactly. Continental AllSeasonContact performed worse than both, Bridgestone Weather Control A005 and Michelin CrossClimate+, in every single test, (noise including) yet it is classified higher than these tyres. Very confusing.
