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.
Explain this: how is it possible last year with the same rivals, contis to be dominating and this year only in 7th place? Also, how can ADAC not include the inventors of snow tyres, Nokians? Where are Vredesteins and Gislaveds?
It is a strange slip down, as other than the Bridgestone, there's no real new patterns. One reason is that the test conditions this year didn't suit the conti as well, or other tyres have had mid life updates to improve them.
It was also strange for me and I checked the site of ADAC. The methodology is a bit strange. If one of the parameter is significant weaker then the other, the score of the tire get that significant weaker parameter. For Conti-s they are the best or worst second for wet, ice and snow, but get weaker dry score, so the position is according dry. For winter tire not sure that it really need to score tire by that parameter. I was with Nokian WR D4 before (3 winters and last winter I replaced them with Conti 860, all 205/55 R16) and it was a bit strange for me, but the dry grip was nothing amazing, but wet grip was significant better then the Nokian, snow was a little better for Nokians, also with Nokians was fuel consumption and internal noise much lower. The bigger difference for me is the wet, where Nokians was really much weaker - the tires spin really easy and in the winter is very common to rain or just to be wet.
