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.
Hey guys, I wanna buy tyres for my crossover (255/45/R20) and have three options:
Nexen nfera Supreme (N5000 Platinum) : $175 each,
Nankang SP-9 Cross-Sport : $115,
Giti Sport S2 SUV :$125
I can’t decide which one should I go with, as comfort and smooth driving is the number one priority for me.
In your opinion, at a ford focus 2019 st line with 155 ps, you will notice the performance difference if you put michelin crossclimate 2 tyres instead of for example a Continental SportContact 7?
I am asking about a subjective score, because I am thinking if it is worth having all season tyres for just 10 times a year that I go skiing. I like driving fast as well (I dont do track days).
PS. Now I am in Continental SportContact 5.
Yes for sure you would.
Is there an all season tyre for my case? Sportly handling (ok, I have just 155 ps, I dont drive a lamborghini) with as little as possible snow performance. Out of 10 times that I go skiing, maybe 1 of them it is required to put snow chains.
How big the compromise (of the sport performance) will be with an all season tyre? (Again, subjectively)
My new (less than 300 miles) Michelin Crossclimate2 235/55R18 100V tire on my 2014 RAV-4 tire split between the treads and went flat. It could not have been repaired and I had to buy a new one. Is this common for this tire? Costco replaced it but charged me $69 to replace it. Are there any reports of similar tires failures? I did not pick up a nail or run over a sharp object. I am a senior and drive conservatively.
Got any pictures so I can see what you mean? I've never heard of that with a CrossClimate product. Very strange.
Ambient temperature would have been interesting in respect of inclusion of the CC2. I use CC2 in this size as winter tyres in UK and find traction levels are much higher than PZ4 summer tyres at temps below 10C especially when also wet
SC7's wet handling score is a bit of a surprise.
Agreed. I wonder if the PG had a high level of water on wet handling, the SC7 generally has quite low starting tread depth.
Yes. I do will testers would stipulate water depth to make it easier to distinguish pattern sensitive situations from merely compound sensitive ones.
It's quite hard to do. Most tracks aim for just under 1mm consistent, but over time things wear and change and some tracks end up with deeper parts that upset some tyres more than others.
Noted; but more could be done re advice, even if with caveats. I look forward to reform with Tyre Reviews' tests :-)
