More information
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.

    Hi Jonathan!
    There are a lot of tests for different tyre sizes. And we know same model tyre acts differently depending on it's size. What if we have tyre size that it's not include in tests. I have 205/55/R17 and I wonder which tyre size I should take as reference?
    Looking for width (205), rim size (R17) or circumference? Please, share your thoughts!
    If someone else has an opinion I'll be glad to read it!
    Regards!

      I'd probably take a balance of close results, but if you wanted a common size to look at there should be some 225/45 r17 tests
