Below are all the data points for the 2020 ADAC 18 Inch Summer Tyre Test, displaying how each tyre performed across all test categories. The spider chart below provides a complete overview of performance, where one hundred percent represents the best performance in each category. The larger the area covered by each tyre's plot, the better its overall performance.
How to read these charts:
For each test category, data is presented relative to the best performing tire. The direction indicates whether lower or higher values are better - pay close attention to this when interpreting results.

Maybe no big deal, but could you please check some figures for wear? Regarding ADAC, it should look like this:
Toyo 28 600 -> 33 400
Bridgestone33 400 -> 33 700
Hankook33 700 -> 35 800
Rotalla35 800 -> 36 100
Thank you for the correction, it is a big deal, not sure how that happen!
Hello there, congrats for your great work. I own a Fiesta ST180. Tyre from factory were Bridgestone 0050. Great steering wheel feel, average in wet, noisy and low comfort. Do you believe that it will worth the change to Asymmetric 5 or Conti PC6 or it will be a disappointment like when I turned to Continental Sport Contact 5?
Thank you in advance for your answer.
The PC6 is a much better steering tyre than the SC5 so there's hope yet.That said, some of the re050s feel great, but like you said, poor grip
According to the photos they show, it looks like they tested the Pirelli PZ4.
You are correct, I just can't update it right now due to travelling
And I believe that Michelin won by a small margin but won. Both weighted and unweighted. https://uploads.disquscdn.c...
ADAC have them joint top overall, and the press releases from Conti and Michelin both indicate top positions. I've given up trying to work out some of the scoring systems when we don't get to see the data!
Could you please check again the Pirelli score - i just checked it on my side and I can't get 6 overall score with any meaningful weight.

https://www.adac.de/rund-um... should help your understanding
ADAC use a school-note system. When one rating is worse than 2.6 (for example in wear, Pirelli with 3.0) the overall grade can´t be better than 2.6. In this case, the Pirelli was downgraded because the 3.0 note in wear, the overall is also a 3.0.
And if you do the same with the pirelli, the result is 7.72 and not 6. It seems that wear is more important than 20% that Adac claims. Otherwise the results don't make any sense. For example Nexen vs Nokian.
How many % you weight the wear?, just from my curiosity.
If the overall scores seem normal to you, then I'll pass. You can share with us, any further information you may have about the way Adac calculates the final score.
