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.

    Curious what you think Jonathan.

    I have a RWD Tesla Model 3 in Canada. I have dedicated winter tires I'll be using when temperatures drop. So I figured summer touring tires make sense over an all season touring tire.

    The OE Michelin Primacy MXM4s that came with the car are near worn out and I was not blown away by their life despite proper rotation, pressures etc (though I've never owned an EV before and maybe this is the norm).

    The shop I've historically dealt with (hopefully unintentionally) mislead me saying the Westlake Z007 (North American equivalent to the Goodride Solmax 1) is just using a one generation old Yokohama design which from what I researched is not the case.

    Do you think that a dedicated cheap summer touring (like that Goodride) will at least perform comparably in summer (or near enough) to the Michelin all season touring (MXM4)?

    I know what you say about cheap tires... Looking at the performance rankings these tires are not the best, but not horrendouse either. Not something I'd buy again, but they are already mounted and balanced.

    I'm deciding whether it's worth making a big deal of it from my local shop and or selling these and buying something else.

    Thanks for your input.

      In the dry it's like to out perform the MXM4. Wet is a good question, I would hope the Michelin would still have the advantage but I wouldn't really want to be on either of them.

        Thanks for the feedback. It's interesting quite how bad the MXM4s seem to sacrifice performance (in both wet and dry) just to cut down rolling resistance. Combine that with low tread life, it seems like a pretty bad tire for the money unless you're trying to eek every last kilometer out of an EVs charge.

        Coming into finding your guys' work, I just assumed all season = good in summer and nordic winter = good in winter. I never knew how much difference there was between budget and premium brands, and even between tire types.

        It's interesting I found a Tire Rack article showing Cross Climate 2's massively outperforming the MXM4 in both dry and wet handling and breaking. I'm sure in snow it'd be a complete bloodbath (though I have dedicated nordic winter tires anyways).

        Then you guys did an all season shootout where a mid tier Kumho summer tire stomped on the Cross Climate 2s in the dry and wet.

        So these Goodrides are worse than the Kumho on that test, but at least are hopefully better than the MXM4s I'm coming from.

        Shows how important buying the right type of tires is when cheap Goodride summer tires are likely going to outperform (at least in summer conditions) the expensive OEM Michelin tires that have to do everything, while having low rolling resistance.

        I'm going to see if the shop will swap them out for the Goodyear or Michelin UUHP summers on test here.

        The Goodrides look to perform bad in the wet to a point I don't want to risk my family's safety. And hilariously it's cost per KM is worse than the Goodyear or Michelins because they wear so poor.

        Thanks for the help!

    The Turanza 6 is farther down than I had expected given how well the all season version has performed in testing…

      The AS and summer are totally different tyres, they just share the same name. IT seems Bridgestone have given up some grip when aiming for wear, which is a natural trade.
