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 great tests and the results are very helpful. However, I have a 2020 Tesla Model Y that have 255/40R20 so it's harder or impossible to find in your test fleet. In my location of Minneapolis it's VERY common to have dedicated snows (mine are Sottozero 3) and a good All Season for the rest of the year. It turns out finding a good 3+ seasons tire in my size is not easy. I must walk thru a whole series of trade-offs to get a few remaining features I can live with. I can find a summer tire with does well dry & wet & handling & braking. But replacing that soft rubber every 25K miles? I managed nearly 30K miles out of the original Eagle F1 that came with my Model Y (they've changed that now) only because I have experience driving a 4200 pound over-powered car before. It's not the weight its the heavy foot. Taking the highway cloverleaf ramp at 55 mph when it's 90 degrees F means you rub off 1000 hwy miles in 15 seconds. Anyway, some tire testing with my tire size requirements would be immensely helpful. You do great testing! Thank you for that work.
I am in Canada and Hankook has the winter version of the iON. It's called the ION icept
That's a lot of difference a tire can make on the range! Is there any data on this publication at what sort of speed range tests were performed?
I didn't see that data, sorry.
This is a great question! From what I understand, the impact of tires on range is much smaller at highway speeds. So if this test was run at highway speeds, you might see as much as 2x this impact at slower speeds, versus if this test was done at lower speeds, the impact could be as little as 1/2 of this at highway speeds
I believe Autobild usually run the tyres on an oval around 80kmh but I would need to check.
A tyres impact remains relatively constant but you are correct that the aero factor squares so at higher speeds the air is a bigger issue.
Shouldn´t the range scale be the other way around? I believe the Falken should have a 100% grade and be the 1st and the Continental 84%, being the 8th.
Which chart are you referring to?
The last one
Yes you are correct, nice spot. Let me fix that.
