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.
Does anyone know when Dunlop will be replacing the RT2? I really liked that tyre, but technology has moved on and it over due a replacement.
RT2 was close to the Asym 3 so you're right it's pretty old now. I don't know anything about a replacement in the near future so I'd suggest moving to the Goodyear range, as they're similar in feel but generally better in the wet and RR now.
Can you provide any indication when you hope to post your review or comparison of the Pilot Sport 5. Really want to make the most of a limited time offer however would be good to see how it compares!
Around the first week of April
One thing that astonishes me is the number of rubbish brands in the test. By all means include a few to show that rubbish is rubbish but a better service to their tyre-interested readers would be achieved by having most of the tyres from the first & second quality tiers.
Who do you think is missing? There's certainly issues with the size tested not allowing everyone we'd expect.
Michelin PS4 &/or 5 (for comparison with included P4)
Continental PC6 &/or 5 (for comparison with the woefully eco-skewed EC6)
Pirelli P7C2
Each available according to your tyre search function.
I believe PC6 is OE only in this size, and this will have been tested in October last year when there were no PS5s to test (I've had similar issues)
yep
terrible results for conti sub-brands: uniroyal, semperit, barum … what is the issue with semperit? last year one of the best in both adac and autobild test, this year one of the worst …
I can only assume it's a function of the size. But yes, very strange.
Would you say that with these sub-brands there is more difference between sizes?
For example it looks like Michelin Primacy 4 is always on top no matter the tyre size.
Still, there I also see differences even between two speed ratings on the same tyre.
I'm afraid I don't have the answer for that! It's an interesting question though.
Even the Conti EcoContact 6 is going to be out of the top 20! Continental went too far making this tyre too eco friendly and very water unfriendly.
It will be interesting to see how it does in the full test, it's certainly aimed at a specific solution, but it might also be the way all tyres go eventually
I believe manufacturers like Continental design tyres like the EcoContact 6 for car constructors that need to present cars to the public with the lowest emissions possible, and then design tyres for the aftermarket for those of us who want the best (or at least the most reasonable) performance possible. Too bad Auto Bild didn't want to test the Premium Contact 6, since the Eco Contact 6 ended up out of the top 20 that will move on to the full test. Likewise, it would be great if Auto Bild went for testing the Michelin PS4 and the E.Primacy. Strangely enough, they left Pirelli out when they could have tested or chosen 2 different tyres from!
Auto Bild changed the rules so the EcoContact 6 is in the full test. There's no premium contact 6 in this size.
And you're pretty on the money with your belief :)
It is similar for Goodyear - seems that with EG Performance 2 they focused on mileage and rolling resistance rather than safety. How I wish they cared for chemical stability and thus preserving safety properties for longer instead!
However, Conti EcoContact 6 is a bigger disaster because PremiumContact 6 is not produced in smaller sizes and PremiumContact 5 is no longer available. I honestly didn't expect it to be THAT bad. And they even started to offer even more "ECO" UltraContact for ultra high mileage which inevitably will provide safety properties of a hockey puck.
