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.
It is not suprizing at all, vi bilägare is an appalling newspaper and they not their readers can drive.. true story.
Isn't this yet another test where the overall ranking doesn't bear much resemblance to the individual results. Maxxis have clearly done a very fine job but unless you are really stressed about curved aqua then the Conti is surely the better tyre - best wet and dry braking (3.9m in total better than Maxxis actoss the two), best wet handling and 2nd best dry handling, identical comfort and noise to Maxxis and only very marginally worse fuel consumption and wet circle. Yes Maxxis looks a very fine tyre for the price but it's not the best unless you do some pretty heavy weightings for price and curved aqua.
Quite interesting indeed. Again we see that in different sizes the order on the list might change a bit for the same models, but still the good tyres perform similarly well, so even in a different size one shouldn't expect drastically worse performance. As for Maxxis... Wow! I noticed they're doing quite well in recent tests, you also said they're good value for the money etc. But here, without the price aspect taken into the final grade. That's unexpected :) Did the Swedish team buy the normal, retail tyres or were they provided with the tyres by some manufacturer-linked party? ;)
I'm confident the performance of the Maxxis is real, but as mentioned, wear wasn't tested which is the usual trade maxxis seem to make.
What's more important : a tyre that lasts "forever" or one that keeps you safe on the road? Adding the price into account if the money are an issue a tyre like Maxxis will do the job and won't break the bank. I am focussed on safety and if it lasts three summer seasons it's fine. For the next three I get to have new tyres to keep me safe.
In an ideal world you would have both :)
If this world world would be ideal we would have nothing to put our minds to work for the best solutions, all would be easy, all our conversation and information exchange would not exist and maybe this world of our days is ideal in this regards.
As has been noted, wear wasn’t tested. The difference between the top is small, I rather have a tyre that combines good grip with good wear. Also note that they were tested under ideal conditions.
Aftonbladet/Test World did a recent test under different temperatures. They noted that some - especially inexpensive chinese tyres, including Maxxis - looses their grip even in milder/cold spring temperatures even if they have good grip in hotter summer temperatures.
