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.
'the Bridgestone for its safe, controllable understeer and broad reserves, the Michelin for its precision and agility' a few years ago that was exactly the other way around! The Michelin used to be safe and secure and the Bridgestone precise and exciting. Still getting the Bridgestone Potenza Sport Evo as replacement for the Goodyear's for my MX-5 ND :-) Nice to try something else. Once again thanks for sharing, Jonathan!
Maybe it's a size thing, but based on my own testing I think the old way of looking at things is still more accurate.
