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.
Thanks for this. I need a set of 185/60/15’s for my Audi A2, a car that transmits tyre / road noise into the cabin and can give quite large variations in fuel consumption depending on tyre choice.
All things considered, I’ve gone for your test winner Michelins- I’m hoping that in such a light car the wear I’ll get out of them before performance drops off unacceptably will justify their price.
How would you rank them by comfort? I'm a little confused... Michelin Primacy 4 was always said to be one of the most confort tyres,and maybe Nokian too,but here is nothing told about that neither in Pros or Cons..
I'm about to buy this size for my Nissan Note 2nd gen. but it's a little too hard on poor serbian roads,but i wouls keep these nice 16" rims,so i would choose by comfort level primarly.
Check out my 16 inch test, linked top right
Another great example that the 'same tyre' ain't the same in different sizes. Winner in one size can loose a few points in another one. Still, usually the differences between the leading models in various sizes aren't worrying. More like, interesting to see ;) Nicely done Primacy 4! In other recent tests more like 'comfy, all-round, not excelling in any category' and here - clear winner. Goodyear EGP2 - winner in the most popular size, here close behind. So many conditions play some role in those tests, but still - a good tyre is a good tyre :) Thanks for sharing another fresh test results!
It's a really fascinating year for tyre testing, there's some super interesting results appearing as more are published!
Is the tyre size of this test the 195/65 R15 or the 195/55 R15 (the one we can see bellow the tyres photos)? The website's search engine can't even find the prices for 5 of the them. Jonathan, you probably typed the size incorrectly.
You may have a point, it was actually 195/55 R16! all updated now, thank you.
It was the H speed category tested, could be useful to add.
Some were V, it's listed under each tyre picture :)
