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.

    Can we please stop using misleading graphs. That graph of stopping distance makes the difference from best to worse look a lot bigger than it is - sure, the worst is pretty terrible, particularly at the sharp end of the race, the results are SO much closer than that graph makes them look.

    Start the graph at zero rather than at 32 and see how close most of them really are...

      Unfortunately if you start at zero it's very difficult to re why differences on mobile devices, which is the largest audience. The axis are clearly labeled so nothing is being hidden!

        I mostly read on mobile, and I still find it misleading. It exaggerates the variation, makes it look more significant than it really is.

        I do appreciate the time you've taken to reply though!
