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.

    I would be interested in the conditions of the test. What temperature were they carried out in as that is more important they work better at temps below 7c where they should exceed summer tyres. Only reason for me to buy all season is to meet the legal requirement for many EU countries and be safer than regular camper tyres.

    That's quite a shame that they didn't include the Michelin Agilis CrossClimate which seems to work wonderfully.

      Agreed, it's performed well in other van tests

        Is it possible to post summaries of these too? (One merit of TR, which this would serve, is acting as a one-stop-shop for magazine test summaries.)

          I'll see what I can dig out from 2020 :)

    I share your enthusiasm for AutoBild's work. They also do "classic" tyre tests. Would it be possible to feature these as well?

      Sorry I missed this, I'll try and look them out!
