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.

    I run one year now my i30N with Conti7.
    Absolutely satisfied, immediate warm up, and responsive until last km that I changed them, after 10.000km.
    Probably the best tyre I have tested and I have tested many of them. Great vfm also

      With Potenza, they went off, after less than 4.000km without track driving of course

    The Michelin PS5 is a UHP, the Conti SC7 is a UUHP. The PS5 certainly isn't something you want to drive (and perhaps destroy) on a track. Unfortunately Conti refuses to sell their excellent SC7 in 18" sizes. It would have been my choices otherwise. Considering today's very poor condition roads 17" or 18" is the way to go on a hot hatch. Running 19" is nuts.

      The PC6 is still an excellent choice in 18", I chose it for my VRS in the uk!

    That Continental is just unreal! For a UHP it performs like a UUHP and would make an excellent rain tyre when tracking a car. Coupled with the lowest rolling resistance and low tyre noise, it's a truly remarkable product. I wonder how the Michelin PS5 will be in return?
