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.

    Late to the party but hunting for new tyres for an X3M40. Was going to fit high performance summers again but toying Cross Climate 2. It doesn't look as if I'm trading much dry/wet performance for a chunk of winter performance gain. It's a family wagon so doesn't often get driven with enthusiasm, am I nuts to be thinking all season?

      Not nuts, though with that much weight and power maybe the all season tyre would be more noticable! Though the CC2 is OE on the new Volvo electric SUV.
