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.

      Depends on what you want from the tyre. Prim 4 a little more comfort, PS4 a little more handling

    Why is there vast difference between these braking results vs Auto Bild brake test?

    For instance Federal ST1 showing 39 metres for wet braking on 2020 Auto Bild brake test and showing 27m wet braking on this test - which by the way better than the best on Auto Bild.

    Which of these test would you say more of a real world test than machine testing?

      They're both real world tests. The difference would suggest a different starting speed or a different CoF of the surface. Probably the former

        I see. Do they share this info anywhere to understand the tests better? For example environment temperature while testing and starting speeds etc.

          Yep, the magazines publish their speeds. Sadly almost none of them publish the testing temperatures.
