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.

    Interesting that their view of the PC6 dry handling differ from yours.

      It is. Usually I can work out why there's differences in tests, but not this time! I've had the PC6 in many sizes on many vehicles and never found it to be comfortable or slow to steer compared to its peers!
