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.

    These are cool tests, but I don't see why sand, dirt, mud, grass tractions are relevant to SUVs on summer tyres. People who buys jeep and stick to road tyres have little to no intention to venture offroad. Or if they do, they are deluding themselves. Just my (unpopular) opinion.

      I don't disagree, but also people who are doing research into an suv kind of expect it. Grass and gravel do have real world applications. Mud is the craziest one really, a summer tyre has zero mud ability and mud testing is REALLY difficult to get trends even with MT tyres.

    A rare A.B. test with no Conti contender.

      I hadn't even noticed that! I assume they were testing in the difficult period between PC6 rundown and PC7 ram up!
